My friend Lois pointed out to me on MSN that I’ve been almost obsessively listening to Uh Huh Her’s new release, “Common Reaction”. She asked if they were really that good.
Yes. Yes they are.
“Common Reaction” will no doubt be on my Top 10 of 2008 list. Catchy melodies, explosive electro music and beautiful vocals combine to create one of the best pop albums I’ve come across in a long while. Currently, my personal favourite tracks are ‘Not A Love Song’, ‘Explode’ (also featured on an episode of The L Word), ‘Common Reaction’ and ‘Covered’. ‘Explode’ exudes sex and sensuality, ‘Not A Love Song’ is catchy and will easily get stuck in your head, and I guarantee that you will not be annoyed by that fact. I have unfortunately not had the opportunity to see Uh Huh Her in concert, but I have spent a fair bit of my time recently [...]

I luvz The Black Keys right now. Too bad I wasn’t in NYC when they played Macarren Park Pool, but it’s being turned back into a REAL pool so why worry anyway.

With the look of James Hetfield’s face in the pic above, I’m sure that’s what he looked liked when he found out that his new home in California have been vandalized by locals.
James Hetfield the Metallica frontman bought new land in 1999 so he can build a huge home, studio, etc. in the town of Marin in Cali. The property used to be a popular biking and hiking trail where a lot of people like to go through. Hetfield boarded up the home with a huge electric barbed wire fence that almost looks like a prison fence. It was Hetfield’s way of keeping bikers and hikers off his property while the metal rocker is not there. James Hetfield angered locals who loved to use that trail but they can’t since Hetfield now owns the property.
The property had been vandalized with the words “SHAME DISGRACE” written on the fence. Hetfield has [...]

Here’s a recent music video we worked on, with the help of some great people at NYFA:

Joe feat. Mario - “Last Sip”

Dear Ryan,
It took me long enough but here I am. This is a one-up contest. You have to one up me in the following:
Find a music video better than the one previously posted. The category for this is MUSIC VIDEOS WITH A STORYLINE + DIALOGUE. And I’m not gonna start with some softball entry either:

This music video is out-of-this world awesome. The following is a shortlist of what you’ll find.
- A reference to the Brooklyn Dodgers
- A student-teacher romance (and who hasn’t ever toyed with this notion, honestly?)
- A hunk of clay with jeri curls
- Lionel Richie calling a chick up just to say, “hey” and promptly hanging up on her
The music video story format seems to be losing its appeal these days, and it’s shameful. A video like this is completely watchable (to the tune of 4,799,437 YouTube views [I accounted for probably 250 or 260 of them]). Very [...]

After the well-regarded choreographer Doug Elkins became a father, he made a choice to shutter his company to free his time to be with his new family.  Nevertheless, he and his wife parted ways and a few years ago amid a despairing funk over the demise of his marriage and the loss of his company, he found again his muse in a bonding session with his young son.  The genesis of his re-emergence on the dance scene was watching the 1965 film The Sound Of Music and singing along with his three-year-old to the musical number “The Lonely Goatherd.”
In Fräulein Maria, his loving parody of the seminal musical, three Marias twirl about. One is comically danced by Arthur Aviles, his bald pate conjuring a The King and I Yul Brynner to a Julie Andrews soundtrack. In another stroke of drag brilliance, the demure Liesl “I am sixteen going on seventeen, [...]
