I came across the new alternative version of the music video for KiD CuDi’s Pursuit of Happiness yesterday. Not only is the song enjoyable, but it’s a pretty decent video as well. So I guess my question is this… with the removal of music videos from MTV what is really the point now of having them? Why spend the money and go through the effort and hard work of making one only to have a small audience viewing them. I can only imagine some people just YouTubing these videos to get their fix.
Why’d you do it MTV? By the way, does anyone remember the show “Making the Video?” Now I don’t see the point anymore and it is kind of a let down because they go to waste.

Once upon a time, there was a band called Ivory. They were godly musicians that I adored. They have since disbanded. They remained off the radar for some time, but now one member is back and he has formed Fairline. Today, there are the song of the day because their new song “Run to the Sea” has been on repeat since I have been in my room. There are not that many songs in the world that have this kind of power over me. They have also relocated to Seattle from Chicago, which is good news for us because now we get to be in the presence of this amazing new band. They played a show with my friends The Scene Aesthetic this past Friday at the Kirkland Teen Union Building, which I heard was a successful turnout. You can also catch them again at El Corazon this Sunday at 7 PM for tickets at $10.
Fairline believes in the concept of “Free is Fair.” This means that every day for the next six days, they will be releasing a new song free to download, but if you wish to pay for it YOU get to name your price.
Dear Fairline – I hope you are the answer that we have been searching for to bring us back the Seattle music scene. I see the potential in you and I see the hope that can revive what we have once lost.
To hear their music visit their Myspace here!
PS Nathanial is a dreamboat.

If I could be talented in one thing it would be singing. No, it would be singing and dancing. I understand that that is two different talents, but they go hand in hand so just go with me here on the logic. I’ve already done a previous post on the wonderous PS22 Chorus. Do these kids go to school? I feel like all they ever do is film videos of themselves singing covers of songs. I don’t have a problem with it, but a girl can be curious. Here are the children performing one of my favorite songs by Phoenix – Lisztomania.

8-year-old Laura Fontana is good. She’s super cute and she does Bad Romance and Paparazzi well, but should a girl’s role model really be Lady Gaga? I mean…the woman bleeds randomly! (watch MTV performance) So I’m commentating as I watch this video, and I’m so captivated by her, but for some reason she looks weird to me. Maybe it’s the makeup, I don’t know, but it just seems a little bit much.
I don’t know! Interpret it as you wish!

Chris Walla is a God. He is the guitarist in Death Cab For Cutie and in 2008, he released his first solo album Field Manual. If you haven’t listened to it yet, you should. It’s a great album and definitely one of my favorites.
In the past Chris has worked on albums done by The Postal Service, Tegan and Sara, Hot Hot Heat, The Thermals, and The Decemberists.
His new label entitled Trans is kicking off to a great start. Which Seattle band was first to sign w/ Chris? Why, The Lonely Forest of course. These guys are also great live and will be head into the studio this spring to record their LP.

B.o.B. – Nothin’ On You
I know what you’re thinking right now. What am I doing putting a mainstream song up on my blog right now? Especially since this one is all over the radio. Here’s the thing: I spent a large portion of the day searching for new music today on a site that throws at me all this new indie and hip hop etc. but nothing sat well with me. Then I remembered this song and I remembered how much I loved it when I was driving back to school a few weekends ago and here we are.
Yes, it’s mainstream. The beat is good and I like it. I’d like you to know that when I talk down mainstream music, it’s only for the terrible mainstream. Therefore…this works!
A four-city tour that is. Guess which city DIDN’T make the cut? Not bitter or anything, I’m sure it will be a great tour regardless, but meanwhile I’ll just sulk through the rest of the season watching it on da black box.

Cheryl Cole – Parachute
You will either love or hate this song. You’ll love it because it’s Cheryl Cole and apparently my stats tell me that you are a fan because the “I Like Your Style” feature post on her is always on top. You like her because she’s in the group Girls Aloud and is a judge on X-Factor, a show only in the UK and not… in America. Or you sympathize w/ her cause her husband Ashley Cole is a douche and cheated on her once again and she’s left him basically.
Reasons why you won’t like this song: The lyrics are clichey and when you listen to it you are reminded of those cheesy pop songs that people behind movies make up. You know they’re the ones in which the movie’s synopsis is about a budding pop star, someone that wants to make it into the music business, someone one that used to be in the music business and now wants a comeback. Seriously, it’s one of those. But other than that it’s very catchy.
