“Single By 30”

Every time I finish my work day (I made my cut off time 9:00 PM tonight) I always think that I’m going to have the same amount of energy to put towards Yow Yow! and to be able to find material and be able to whip something up in time to post by the end of the night. For some reason, it was really easy when we were in school and we would do like 8 posts every night, but it’s so much harder as an adult!

Tonight, we’re keeping things pretty casual with a new series by Wong Fu Productions. I had read a preview about this earlier in the week – the story centers around two main characters – Kina Grannis and Harry Shum Jr. who are friends from high school. One night, way back when, they make a pact that if they are still single by the time they are 30, that they’ll just marry each other. Well… flash forward years later – they are 30! I’m not going to spoil it for you so you’ll just have to see what happens next. I think this is airing on YouTube Red though which means… it might cost some $$$, but the first episode which we’re showing here is free! If you like it, maybe you’ll continue on with the series. I mean, I definitely want to know what happens next!

Wedding Mondays

Today we’ve got a Wedding Mondays / Song of the Day feature because the wedding we’re showing today belong to none othre than the lovely Kina Grannis. She decided to turn her wedding video into the music video for her song “My Dear” and we are loving all of the highlights including the 8mm footage throughout. The wedding music video actually was released on her first anniversary to her husband so it’s kind of sweet that she’s sharing this with all of her fans one year later.

 

Happy Monday y’all and a very happy birthday to my bestest Ashley! This Wedding Monday and most Wedding Mondays are dedicated to her!

We’re going a little bit overboard with “Happy” today, but can you blame us? We love Pharrell! On another related note, my team adopted the song as our new anthem today so we’re naturally just over the moon. I was skeptical about this cover by Kina at first, but then I came to love it because it was just so so California. Isn’t it, though? It has such a laid back and airy feel to it. Job well done, Kina!

Kina Grannis – Stay (Rihanna and Mikey Ekko cover)

Another Stay cover! These are always my favorite, but any time you see Kina Grannis doing a cover, you pretty much know it’s going to be a good one.

The Last

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JvxHPtEsmFc#!]

It’s not often that I come across something that I resonate so strongly with. “The Last” by Wong Fu Productions is a simple and refreshing answer to the question of “How many have you loved?” It features  Harry Shum Jr. (otherwise known as Glee’s Mike Chang!) and Kina Grannis as the two main characters – but hey! there’s also an appearance by Kaba Modern dancer Yuri Tag.

This was an incredible short. Thank you so much Doobybrain for sharing it.

Yes, I teared up.

This is kind of like the time I was obsessed with Casual. Remember that?

Kina Grannis – In Your Arms

It took 288,000 jelly beans to make the music video for today’s Song of the Day. It’s also just the most adorable thing you’ll probably watch today.
