I like the Kat Graham’s song and a catchy tune on a Friday afternoon can help time pass. Can you name the notorious designer who used this song in his risque video?
Are you a fan of the Boston rock scene? Do you miss WFNX 101.7 and their music? Come celebrate with Julie Kramer, Henry Santoro, Adam12 and Paul Driscoll on Thursday, August 16th from 8PM-10PM, at the Paradise Rock Club.
They are joining Boston’s newest radio station – RadioBDC and will be putting on a free show at the Paradise Rock club with Boston’s own Kay Hanley. Follow @RadioBDC on twitter and register to get on this 21+ party at The Paradise Rock Club this Thursday, here.
Have you seen the music video for The V Motion Project’s song, “Can’t Help Myself”? According to AdverBlog, Producer Joel Little created the music, musician James Hayday broke the track down and Paul Sanderson built the tech to control the music. The result is a fully functional musical instrument that can be played live, triggered virtually by a dancer.
The video was shot in Auckland, New Zealand, against a warehouse. Check out the faces in the crowd – they are clearly enjoying the show.
Matthew Mitcham, 2008 Australian Olympic champion in the 10M platform, used some of his down time during the London Olympic games this week to make a cute video of him singing Single Ladies on his ukulele. Could Matthew be any more adorable or likeable? I don’t think so.
Here is Sergio hanging out with Chris Marchant (2nd violinist, vocalist) from one of Ptown’s many talented summer acts, Well Strung.
Well Strung is an all-male singing quartet that features classical musicians who put their own spin on music new and old. This handsome and talented troupe is performing at the Art House in Provincetown through September 22nd. Tickets are $30 with V.I.P. seats only five dollars more.
You may buy tickets here.
The Boston Summer Arts Weekend starts this Friday. The weekend celebration will showcase and blend both the Boston art community as well as nationally recognized musicians, actors and artists.
Most of the three-day festival can be enjoyed in Copley Square, but additional locations will also host artists and events open to the public. Suzanne Vega (show above) will be one of many performing Saturday, July 28th. For more information about The Boston Summer Arts Weekend, visit the event’s website.
Everywhere I turn, I feel as if I hear people talking about Azealia Banks. She definitely has a catchy delivery and I can’t get the shouting / rapping style unique to her out of my head.
Are you a fan of Azealia Banks? If you’re not familiar with her, be warned the lyrics aren’t appropriate for children or in a place of business.
This video which was posted on YouTube this past fall totally passed me by. How did I miss this? It makes the song so much less annoying when I can watch these handsome young men.
Apparently the video was created to pump up the Air Force football team before they played Army, but was deemed “too inappropriate”. I will admit the video gets a whole lot more entertaining after the 1 minute mark as they dance around in their boxers and little else.
One reason I love Boston is because it has an amazing music scene. Something about having more than 60 colleges and universities within a 30 mile radius of Boston probably has something to do with that.
In the 1990s I loved this local band and saw them more than a few times. The band has since gone its separate ways, but I still love ’em.
Carly Rae’s Call Me Maybe just might go down as the most over-played pop song of the summer. However, when Abercrombie & Fitch realeased this video last week, I couldn’t help but watch and I’m assuming many of you will feel the same. For those truly tired of the song, I might suggest just turning down the volume – it doesn’t diminish the appeal of the video one bit.
The Summer in the City Entertainment Series by the Boston Harbor Hotel at Rowes Wharf begins again this year starting on Monday, June 18th.

Pick a night, go down early with friends (or for a date) and grab a seat at Rowes Wharf Sea Grille and enjoy an evening down on the water. Check out their facebook page, or visit the event’s website here.
Massachusetts native, Cazwell, is back with another outrageous music video full of innuendo and barely clothed men writhing suggestively. Its proven to be a potent combination for this gay singer who first caught my attention in the summer of 2010 with a very similar gay club hit, Meet Me at the Ice Cream Truck.
This video is probably not appropriate to play if at work.
I love this Lady Gaga vs. Madonna mash up which is on YouTube now. You’ll recognize other mixes although David Guetta’s mix of When Love Takes Over is probably the most prevalent and does the mash up justice.
Madonna fans by now will have seen the leaked video which shows her concert rehearsals in Israel including a similar mash up of Born This Way and Express Yourself. It is now Friday afternoon on the East Coast and early evening in Europe so crank up the volume and let this video put you in a good mood to start your weekend.
Boston’s Fourth of July celebration is one of the largest in the United States and this tradition which started back in 1973 is now televised around the country, but if you live in Boston you can go down to the Esplanade park and watch this free concert with your friends.
Hudson will belt out some of her biggest hits backed by Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops orchestra. In short, it’ll be “wicked awesome”. Don’t live in Boston? Her performance will be broadcast nationally on CBS.

I’m seriously dating myself, but I remember when MTV was new and launched careers of some of the biggest acts in the 1980s. Fast forward to today and MTV is a shell of its former self. YouTube is the new MTV.
With all the big budgets, wardrobe, choreographers, directors and producers it amazes me how boring the official music videos are by comparison to the unofficial videos created by fans.
Recently I’ve posted different music videos from Harvard University’s Men’s Baseball team, the models of Randy Blue and the Broadway cast of Anything Goes. Let me know if you find these entertaining or if you feel like its old news by the time I post these.
