• Ben Folds, Nick Hornby, & Pomplamoose VideoSong!!!!

    When I saw Ben Folds in Fargo a while back he mentioned that he was going to be making an album with Nick Hornby. This is the first song off the album that is coming out September 28th.

    He calls this video a “videosong”, which means in his words:

    Things You Think is (almost!) a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 rules:
    1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

    Oh, and I like it a lot.

    **Update** Ok, I guess this song isn’t off Ben Folds’ new album. Here is a little more from Ben.

    To be clear! “Things You Think” is not on the album. I know its all weird timing but I hope nobody gets the wrong idea. The album is not spoken word and in fact, Nick’s voice isn’t on the album either. Nick wrote the lyrics for the album, sent them to me, and I made music for it. The VideoSong is a totally different thing.

  • Minnesota Gurls

    So Katy Perry has a song on the radio that I have heard a few time called “California Gurls”.  The song is kinda meh, but there seems to be a lot of pretty funny parody songs popping up on YouTube.  Since I am from Minnesota here is “Minnesota Gurls”:

    And now that I am living just across the river in North Dakota here is “North Dakota Bois”:

    I haven’t looked, but I am willing to bet there are Parodies for every state.

  • Sing It Loud’s “Here With You” VIdeo

    I don’t know why I didn’t post this video before. Probably because in my world, Sing It Loud is a pretty popular band, but in real life they probably aren’t. They are a great band from Minneapolis that I have seen twice. I love this video because it was filmed in Minneapolis, and shows off many of the famous landmarks.
