Anya Marina "Whatever You Like" Single

I've been talking about this song for so long now that you guys are probably pretty bored by it, but I've got some last bits of news. First, this song was featured on the latest episode of Gossip Girl during the Dan-Vanessa-Olivia threesome (Season 3 Episode 9 "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"). The sensual voice and melody fit perfectly with the mood of seduction. Second, the official music video is released (yes, I'm a bit behind). Check it out here. I think it's cute how the video took the song in a different direction and put a whole new spin on the phrase "whatever you like."

Britney Spears Drops New Video

Britney Spears reigns supreme with her first single, "3", off her upcoming album, Britney Spears: The Singles Collection. Despite the controversial topic of its lyrics, an ode to threesomes, the chart-topping hit has managed to become the first song since 2006 to debut as #1 on the Billboard charts. With that kind of momentum, you'd expect an amazing Britney-esque video, as the likes of "Toxic" and "Womanizer", but I think it's cute, but a little lackluster. Watch the official new music video below and see for yourself.

Introduction to Owl City

I love being introduced to new music by friends, especially when they're as great as Owl City. Owl City, a one-manned project by Adam Young, is known for its happy-go-lucky tunes and synthesized sounds. It has often been compared to the likes of The Postal Service, but once you hear them, you'll notice the unique uplifting lilt absent from some of its contemporaries.

Their latest album, Ocean Eyes, has just dropped! So I've included a few notable tracks as an introduction to the wonderful artistry that is Owl City. And in fact, it is from one of these songs that I got the inspiration for the name of this blog.

Enjoy!

Owl City - Rainbow Veins


Owl City - Fireflies


Owl City - Designer Skyline


Owl City - Hello Seattle


Owl City - Strawberry Avalanche

Music Video for Wale - W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.

I've gotta represent DC with Wale, who's done an outstanding remix of Justice's single, D.A.N.C.E. Wale and Ronson even performed this at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. Hope you guys enjoy this!

Dynamic Typography

According to the well-respected Wikipedia, typography is "the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs." I actually have a lot of respect for those who do typography well. They not only have to present words artistically, but also to do so in an attractive, entertaining fashion. Below is a few of the ones that I find are done exceptionally well.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Breaks Records

I don't know about you guys, but I went to see the midnight showing of the 6th installment of Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And I helped it break the record for the highest grossing midnight opening movie of all time!

Not even 24 hours have passed since its opening, and the Half-Blood Prince has already taken in $20 million!!!!! It now surpasses the midnight sales of 2nd place The Dark Knight, which took in $18 million, and 3rd place Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, with $17 million.

I've always been a little disappointed in the movie adaptations, so I had low expectations going into the movie. But I was pleasantly surprised by David Yates' direction, and I think this might be my favorite of the film series thus far. Be forewarned that this one spends much more time on the lives of teenagers than in any of the other movies.

I was first wowed by Anya Marina when she opened for Jason Mraz on his new tour promoting We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things. Her unique voice and guitar sensibility has helped land her songs onto Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, and Gossip Girl, to name a few. Above is her cover of T.I.'s ubiquitous hit Whatever You Like.
