This Just In

Videos of the Day – week of 12/8

Sir Paul McCartney’s new song is available digitally as of this week…see above for “Hope For the Future” from the new Destiny video game!?

12/8 – beautiful new song & video from Bear’s Den…

12/9 – U2 just announced yesterday (sorry I’m just seeing it today) the Films of Innocence project.  Now that the 24-hour-link viewing period has expired, we can only embed the trailer.  Guess you have to go to iTunes or Amazon to buy the video collection…so lemme get this straight: they give away the album to half a BILLION iTunes users worldwide, but want you to BUY the videos?  Wonder if they’ve been in their recording bunker so long (it has been 5 years, after all) that they haven’t heard of a little thing called YouTube where all these videos will end up whether they like it or not…?

and here’s an unofficial video for “Every Breaking Wave” that is pretty amazing! #surfsup

12/10 – Father John Misty is back with a new album in Feb.  Here’s the video he made on an iPad with his wife during their wedding anniversary…Josh, er um, Father John says: “I don’t care all that much if you like the music video or not. The label isn’t crazy about it. Management isn’t crazy about it. I have been informed I’m basically kissing an MTV ‘Woodie’ award goodbye forever.”

12/11 – was wondering around YouTube today looking for Beatles Christmas songs, and came across this complete DC concert from 1964!?  Looks & sounds great, doesn’t it?

12/12 – love this new Jose Gonzalez tune…look for his 1st solo album in 7 years (he’s kept busy with his other, full-band project Junip & with Ben Stiller’s Walter Mitty) in mid-Feb.

This year’s song of the summer is a ballad, not a banger. Here’s what that says about us

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary." As Berklee College of Music professor and forensic musicologist Joe Bennett notes, the February release is "a fair bit slower than the mean average for the Hot 100, or for a historical song of the summer."
