New Chris Brown Video

Alex — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:14:12 +0000

Chris Brown has a new music video featuring R&B singer Cassie called for their single ‘Crawl’. The music video director, Joseph Kahn, talked about it with MTV, saying “The entire video for ‘Crawl’ was his idea. I’m talking every single idea in there is Chris’, and it’s pretty awesome. It’s an interesting video for me, because it’s so rare that music videos ever try to achieve anything emotional. With ‘Crawl’ you feel it in here [points to his heart]. Chris just basically told me a story of what he felt this video was going to be, with his heart glowing and how he’s, like, cold. It is a very personal story. But it’s told in such a graphic manner that I fell in love with the idea. It’s Chris’ story. Period. I am the pencil that put it down on the paper.”

Jared Leto and the rest of his band 30 Seconds to Mars have a new video out for ‘Kings + Queens’. The video features bicyclists cruising around LA. Jared went on his Twitter after the shoot, saying “Shoot was insane and amazing. Just realized the first time we played KINGS+QUEENS together was up there overlooking LA. Fitting. ” After a two year battle to get their new album completed and released, it’s finally ready and the singer/actor couldn’t be more excited. Jared told MTV “We spent two years of our lives working on that record, and it was us against the world. We didn’t have outside influence or help, we didn’t have a label, we had us, betting the farm, and pushing ourselves.”

Taylor Swift gets Halloween fright

Alex — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:43:28 +0000

The singer fell for a prank orchestrated by Ellen Degeneres this Halloween. It seems that the comedian determined Taylor Swift to go to a fake dressing room where she was ready to pounce on the unsuspecting singer. The thing resulted in a funny little video that can be found on the internet showing Taylor Swift falling upon the bathroom floor where the scare took place. You’d think something like this would damage her popularity, but Taylor Swift probably got a few bonus points. Too bad they didn’t get Kanye West to do it… he might’ve bought himself a few extra points too.

U2 Concert to Stream Live on YouTube

Alex — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:32:50 +0000

California, US: U2 have confirmed via video blog that their sold-out concert at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in California, Sunday 25th October 2009 will be streamed free, in full and live on YouTube. It’s the first time a show of this size will be streamed live.

The Rose Bowl show is the penultimate U2 show this year – with more to come in 2010 – and already is set to host the venue’s biggest ever audience of over 96, 000 fans. The 360˚ Tour, which has been critically acclaimed and “re-invents rock’n’roll”*, will now boast unique access for fans worldwide – as fans in territories yet to be visited by the tour, or not at all, will be able to enjoy the whole show online. Managed in partnership with Live Nation, this sell-out tour has broken attendance records in most venues it has visited – its success due in part to increased capacity coupled with a lower ticket price and great sight lines afforded by the stunning in-the-round stage set. Visit U2.com or youtube.com/u2official for details of how to join in this ground-breaking on-line event.

U2 manager Paul McGuinness said – “The band has wanted to do something like this for a long time. As we’re filming the LA show, it’s the perfect opportunity to extend the party beyond the stadium. Fans often travel long distances to come to see U2 – this time U2 can go to them, globally.”

YouTube will be streaming live across five continents. The show will be available in the usual You Tube way, as video-on-demand, following two full replays – after the live stream – on both U2.com and You Tube.

“YouTube is thrilled to be able to provide our global audience with a live streaming performance from one of the world’s greatest bands” – Chris Maxcy, Director of YouTube Partner Development. “We are always looking for new ways to connect fans around the world with their favourite artists, and this is the perfect opportunity to do just that.”

Nirvana Live At Reading To Premeir On Fuse

Alex — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:11:57 +0000

On November 2 at 11 p.m. ET, Fuse, the national music network, will televise the worldwide premiere of Nirvana Live at Reading, the band’s legendary, never-before-released 1992 Reading concert. The show, marking the first time that Nirvana fans will experience the epochal August 30, 1992 headlining appearance at UK’s Reading Festival, will debut as an hour long broadcast the night before the limited edition 90 minute CD+DVD Deluxe Edition is by Geffen/UMe.

Featuring 25 songs including “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “All Apologies” and “Come As You Are,” Nirvana’s performance at Reading ranked No. 1 in Kerrang Magazine’s “100 Gigs That Shook The World” chart and was voted as “Nirvana’s No. 1 Greatest Moment” by fans in a recent NME poll.

“Fuse is excited to provide Nirvana fans with the first opportunity to witness this historic music event since the concert 17 years ago,” said David Weier, vice president, programming, Fuse. “Not only are we airing a highly anticipated, never-before-seen concert in more than 65 million homes, we are providing Nirvana’s loyal fan base with companion programming for a comprehensive and unique viewing experience.”

Leading up to the premiere of Nirvana Live at Reading, Fuse will air “Loaded: Nirvana,” a half-hour of Nirvana’s greatest music videos at 10 p.m. ET, followed by “Videos That Rocked the World: Smells Like Teen Spirit,” a celebration of the legendary music video which was a breakthrough for music, entertainment, culture and society.

While the show’s centerpiece was a performance of nearly the entire Nevermind tracklist, also noteworthy were early performances of three as yet unrecorded songs which wouldn’t be released until 2 years later on In Utero: “All Apologies,” “Dumb,” and in its first ever public performance, “Tourettes.” The career-spanning setlist also reached back to the band’s 1989 Sub Pop debut album, Bleach, for “Blew,” “About A Girl,” “School,” “Negative Creep” and first single “Love Buzz,” and even further back to the mid-’80s for “Spank Thru.” Other songs from the Reading set would appear in studio form on the Incesticide compilation later in the year: “Aneurysm,” “Been A Son” and “Sliver.” Additionally, the band played a pair of beloved covers by two bands that helped shape the formative Nirvana sound– “The Money Will Roll Right In” by Fang and “D-7″ by The Wipers.

Soulja Boy flaunts wads of US$100 bills and bling in video to prove he’s not broke

Alex — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:44:52 +0000

Rapper Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em showed off tens of thousands of dollars in a shoe box and his expensive collection of bling in an internet video hitting back at reports he owes almost US$10,000 in unpaid bills.

The chart-topping star arrogantly flaunted his wealth in the footage posted on his Twitter page to prove he isn’t hard-up.

He filmed the box packed with wads of US$100 bills and boasted about the cost of his jewellery – including a bedazzled miniature Lamborghini – and designer bags to prove he’s not short of cash.

His pals modelled some of his jewellery and whooped: “Wow! Wow! Wow!” as he bragged about his cash.

Soulja Boy – real name DeAndre Ramone Way – can be heard pricing up the pieces with comments like “250 on the Lambo, 150 on The World Is Yours”.

He says of the wads of cash: “They took me to jail, I would say, ‘Man, get over to my crib, get one of these out and come and get me out of jail.’

Filming his designer bags, he brags: “I don’t even know how much the Louis cost. I don’t even know how much the Gucci cost.”

Soulja Boy posted the video – which was quickly removed – amid claims he owes nearly US$10,000 in unpaid bills on his luxury LA apartment.

His landlord is reportedly demanding US$9,376.10 in unpaid rent and late fees.

Soulja Boy was the victim of an armed robbery at his home last December.

His spokesman claimed six men armed with pistols in AK-47s and pistols burst into the property.

Alex — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:42:20 +0000

A video of a postman doing a moonwalk to a Michael Jackson hit has become an internet hit.

Mike, 36, was filmed by colleagues doing the King of Pop’s legendary dance moves in a five-minute routine at his delivery office to the Jacko hit Billie Jean.

The footage was shot in St Albans, Herts, in the UK and has had over 3,500 hits since it was posted on the website YouTube.

DVDs of the hit routine have also been made and hundreds have been sold off to raise money for charity.

Mike, who filmed the smash-hit video before the star’s death, said: “Michael was my idol. The dance was a bit of fun, I’d no idea I’d get such a response.”

Soulja Boy Arrested

Alex — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:12:28 +0000

Last Wednesday night, Soulja Boy, real name Deandre Cortez Way, was arrested in Georgia when he ran away from police during an investigation. The rapper and a large group of people were found hanging around an abandoned house in Henry County by the cops. When the officers approached the house, a few people, including Soulja, took off. The people that remained explained that they were on a video shoot. Moments after running off, Soulja returned to offer the cops the same explanation but he was put under arrest since he ran from the cops. The fact that he ran off and then came back says that he went to hide something he didn’t want to be found.

Nirvana Preview School Video from Live From Reading

Alex — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:40:13 +0000

Nirvana headlining at Reading in 1992 was something you had to see, and if you didn’t see it then it was something you pretended you saw.”
Kerrang (October 2003)
“The staggering energy and intensity radiating from the stage never let up… Cobain’s ravaged pop songs coming off like some dream marriage of the Sex Pistols and the Beatles, borne on bracing waves of distorted guitar noise.”
Rolling Stone (October 29, 1992)
Ranked #1 in Kerrang Magazine’s “100 Gigs That Shook The World” and voted as “Nirvana’s #1 Greatest Moment” by fans in an NME poll, Nirvana’s historic August 30, 1992 headlining appearance at the UK’s Reading Festival is one of the most bootlegged concerts in the annals of rock n roll. Now, fans will have an opportunity to own a pristine copy of that entire performance — color-corrected video from the original film with audio sourced from the original multi-track masters. Nirvana Live At Reading will be issued in a limited edition CD+DVD Deluxe Edition as well as DVD-only, CD-only configurations on November 3, 2009, followed by a 2LP version on November 17, 2009.

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys film new video near Ground Zero

Alex — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:34:50 +0000

Rapper Jay-Z and singer Alicia Keys have filmed their new video near Ground Zero.

The pair’s new single, Empire State of Mind, has recently been shot in Tribeca and around the site where the World Trade Centre used to stand.

Keys, 28, told MTV News: “Working together on Empire State of Mind was incredible. I’ve admired Jay-Z for a long time. Reasonable Doubt is my all-time favourite album. I always figured that we would do some type of collaboration, and finally, it came together with this.

“He reached out to me and said, ‘I have this big New York record. I feel it’s right for us to do it together. It has this big Frank Sinatra, take-it-there feeling. I feel like you could really do something with it.’”

The singer added: “I went by [the studio], took a listen to it. I really felt the energy of New York all through it. It felt classic, it felt so good; the piano obviously was in there. I said, ‘I love it, so let’s do it’. I think we both are really happy with how it came out.”

Bill shows off his vocal recording room and discusses his extremely loud recording technique. “Most people use regular ‘headphone volume,’ but I can’t stand it.
