Trying to pick this week’s music video for Video Hits seemed a bit daunting. I’ve only been doing this one week so far, and I just didn’t know how to follow up Fefe Dobson’s “Ghost”. Should I go for something simpler? Something older?
This morning I got to thinking how much I love music videos — like, a lot — and while there quite a few that suck (hello Ke$ha), there are so many worth watching again and again.
Hey, Canada, you actually need to check this out. I’m not normally a fan of Classified, but you really need to watch his video for “Oh Canada” from his album Self Explanatory.
Check out this brilliant cover of the day that started circulating on Tumblr tonight. The video features singer Lauren Zettler with her musician friends Cameron Mizell, Kait Lawson, Allison Weiss, and Danielle Owens-Reid performing Go West’s “King of Wishful Thinking” and played on mandolin, ukulele and banjo.
Bringing together some of the music industry’s biggest names, “We Are The World: 25 For Haiti” debuted last night during NBC’s Olympic broadcast in the U.S.
After something like 19 years, they are still one of my all-time favorite bands.
I just finished listening to the Barenaked Ladies‘ new single “You Run Away” and I can’t wait for the full album which is appropriately enough called All in Good Time.
Like I said back in 2009, k-os’ “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman” is hands down one of my favorite songs from last year, and his album Yes! was one of the best albums too.
Earlier this year Imogen Heap appeared on BBC Radio 2 for an interview and performance, and the result was this stunning cover of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”.
For those of you who celebrate such things, Merry Christmas! Here’s a little Christmas jingle by Mariah Carey to get you in the holiday spirit (honestly, I’m not a fan, but this is an awesome Christmas song). Now off you go – eat, drink and be merry!
Maybe the most awesome thing I’ve seen this… year? I don’t know, it’s pretty freakin’ ridiculously great though. As a huge Queen fan I’m surprised I’m okay with this since I’ve hated quite a few covers over the years, but this is The Muppets we’re talking about. Can they really do any wrong?
