Tuesday, June 10th, 2008Another video for your summertime enjoyment…
I am continually fascinated by the music video as an art form. It certainly is one of the 21st Century’s most hopeful means of audio-visual communication.
Any other of your favourite music videos as examples of great art?
Post them here and share.
I have loved this song since the free download became available - now the video takes it to a whole new level. I am very very excited for the new record.
Some viewing tips:
1. Amanda - check out the scarf on the drummer in the opening frames. Very rock & roll.
2. Try the head-bob. It inevitably increases my own enjoyment of the music.
3. Buy the actual record. Please do not steal music. I have had more than one friend in the music business who has lost theie job either directly or indirectly because of lost revenue from music piracy. So maties, support your favourite bands by actually purchasing their music.
4. Play the upcoming Coldplay record this summer as a suggested soundtrack.
Weezer - Pork and Beans
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008Another brilliantly hilarious video from the geek rock paragons.
YouTube in all its splendour! (British sp!!!)
(That’s my yearly quota on exclamation points!!!!!)
P.S. - If I’m missing something inappropriate in the video, would one of you guys please tell me? I have a substantial pre-teen viewing audience.
Coldplay - ITunes Ad

Sunday, May 25th, 2008Good friends of my good friend.
They’ll be all over the world (conquering it) this summer.
Great song, great lyrics.
Strain living with a name they get the best of me
But I’m no walker away
No complaint I got much to gain they so they keep testing me
And I keep feeding their face
They could go off and hit the road and what would I care
(Well) I ain’t going nowhere
I got the reigns and courage I was made of
And they’ve got fake love
So I know I must show it’s my show
I must go with my soul
Not my hand where I stand
It’s my role, it’s my soul
Pearls and necklaces and girls and all the pretty things
I ain’t seeking to have
It’s safe to say if I don’t get this out of me I might quite easily
End up dead or just mad
Cross my t’s and try to dot my i’s
But that’s just blinding me and I ain’t living that way
I roll my sleeves to make a better man of me or I might easily
Just give up on this show
It’s my show
I must go with my soul
Not my hand where I stand
It’s my role, it’s my show
Switchfoot - “This is Home”
Thursday, May 15th, 2008From the Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian
I’ll be seeing this in a matter of hours.
I can hardly wait…
05/19 - Lyrics corrected. Saw it last Friday. Highly recommended.
I’ve got my memories
They’re always
Inside of me
But I can’t go back
Back to how it was
I believe now
I’ve come too far
No I can’t go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place
I’ve never known
Chorus:
This is home
Now I’m finally
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I’ve been searching
For a place of my own
Now I’ve found it
Maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home
Belief over misery
I’ve seen the enemy
And I won’t go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart
Set on
What happens next
I got my eyes wide
It’s not over yet
We are miracles
And we’re not alone
(Chorus)
And now after all
My searching
After all my questions
I’m gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see
The sunset
I’m gonna call it home
(Chorus)
Now I know
Yeah, this is home
I’ve come too far
Now I won’t go back
This is home
