Music Video of the Day

[youtube=http://youtu.be/-BiGUKDdaUM]

I’m about a month late on posting this video, but even those it isn’t timely, I didn’t want to NOT share it. This is one of my favorite songs off of Mayer Hawthorne’s latest album and Rashida Jones even directed the music video and had this to say about it:

The video is a parody of ridiculously exclusive parties which are made nearly impossible to get to but tout themselves as ‘the party of the year.’ I liked the idea of the video starting as a sexy getting-ready video and devolving into a messy, very unsexy, unexpected trek. And the final realization is that YOU are the real party! I’m just starting to realize that about myself (which is why I stay home most nights). I am a HUGE fan of Mayer, Kendrick and of the song “Crime” and it was an honor to work with Mayer.

Here’s crossing my fingers that he’ll be touring again this year!

Performances of the Day – Mayer Hawthorne

I go in and out of these moments in my life when I find myself really missing music. The simplest way to resolve this issue is to just listen to my own music, but when you’ve worked in and out of it in a close capacity for six years, resolving that void is a little bit different. Last week I received the sweetest email from one of my favorite bands back home. It helps that I love their sound (I’ve been a fan since their first single,) but they are some of the kindest individuals that I’ve ever worked with. I would have them perform at my wedding if they said yes! It’s this relationship and the relationship that I have working with smaller acts and acts like Mayer Hawthorne that are a constant reminder of how I came to be. Mayer Hawthorne is cool. He’s a man of very little words, but as we’ve all seen with his Lorde – Royals cover released last week, he is a genius. His latest album is a piece of work and one that I listen to every morning while I get ready. I didn’t get to catch him on tour before he left for Europe, but I loved watching these performances. It’s amazing to see how far he has come.
