Big Bang Parody Music Video

 

Geoffrey the Giant “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock’
Hilarious Spoof on The Big Bang Theory

More on Geoffrey:
OFFICIAL WEBSITE? FACEBOOK

Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock is a side-splitting video that parodies the shows favourite characters settling their dispute in true Big Bang style– with a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard Spock

Sam Kass himself, the inventor of the cult game and the man who has been hailed on the show by Sheldon, Leonard, Raj and Howard, gave Geoffrey his full seal of approval on hearing the track.

The track is taken from Geoffrey’s forthcoming aptly titled Geoffrey the Giant’s Big Bang. Geoffrey is a singer-songwriter from Ottawa Canada who aside from being a very funny man is also incredibly talented singer and has as already dueted with Carly Rae Jepsen on Canadian Idol and song-writing legend Ron Sexsmith.

 

Of course everyone is familiar with the Big Bang Theory.  Geoffrey has a clear voice and the song has a catchy tune that once listened to you won’t be able to get the chorus out of you head.  Not really sure if more of Geoffrey the Giant’s songs will be parodies or if this is just something he wanted to do, time will tell.  Check out the video here from the Geoffrey the Giant’s channel on YouTube:

Metropolis America’s latest Single and Music Video

Metropolis America
Release “A Stolen Heart In A Stolen Car” Video
Indie – Steedog Records

METROPOLIS AMERICA RELEASE VIDEO “A STOLEN HEART IN A STOLEN CAR”   “A Stolen Heart In A Stolen Car” is an ode to the recklessness of youth. It’s about living in the moment, transgressing boundaries, and feeling the euphoria that comes with not giving a fuck.   Its video, perfectly captures the essence of that rebelliousness. Focusing on two girls who have run away from home and rejected the banality of their formal existence, their escape is alive with the feeling of being young and drunk on life, drunk on possibility but also on drama.

The video is directed by Mate Valtr and produced by Brian Sperber and their efforts and production show a clean short film that has the beginning, middle, and end.  These are the types of music videos I appreciate because they tell the story from the song.  Their hard work has paid off by giving Metropolis America a great music video to go with a great song.  Check it out below from Metropolis America’s YouTube channel:

Torgny Releases “Gronn Extra”


Tørgny

New Single Out Now
 
 
“Grønn Extra” (Green Extra) is the first single off Torgny’s new album Oil Panic. Somewhere between Broadcast’s “America’s Boy” and Chromeo’s “Needy Girl,” it draws from both electro funk and experimental pop.
 
Yes it’s catchy, but “Grønn Extra” is uncommonly gritty too, drawing on Torgny’s  dynamic vocal performance and
years of experience in the international hardcore/punk scene.
“Gronn Extra” reminded me of the Electric Pop for the 1980’s to 1990′.  Kind of think of the Beverly Hills Cop sound track and it’s “Axel F Theme” or Miami Vice music that they featured.  Fans from that era will definitely groove to this.  If you are new listeners check it out, you might find yourself grooving to the beat.

 
 
“Grønn Extra” is off Torgny’s upcoming LP Oil Panic, out November 8.

Lots of Love Children’s Book Launch

Lots of Love’s Jessica Fleischer
Launches Her Children’s Book

‘Little Luna and The Universe’ 

 

 

 

On

Thursday, September 26th, 6-8pm
at Books and Cookies in Santa Monica.

RSVP : info@lotsoflovemusic.com

Five years in the making, Little Luna and the Universe not only teaches children about the bigger picture of the Universe on a scientific level, it also exposes them to spiritual themes of love and oneness that are necessary to fully grapple with the hugeness of our existence.

On the night we meet Little Luna, she dreams herself to a distant place in the Universe.  Far away from everything she knows, she must learn about the Universe before she can go back home and return to wake up in her bed.

She learns about galaxies, the solar system, and the names of all the planets. She also learns about the moon, and that the Universe and everything in it are one.  By the end of her journey, she understands that she is part of that oneness.



Jessica Fleischer has been playing music in some form or another for as long as she can remember. Her first release under the LOTS OF LOVE moniker, From the Start, was released in August. Recorded with Rooney’s Robert Schwartzman, it draws on everything from Electric Light Orchestra to the sound of 60s girl-groups, fusing nostalgia-steeped pop songwriting with a fresh and modern point of view.

Check out the “From the Start” Premiere on The Huffington Post

The Mo-Odds have built a reputation in Los Angeles for their insane live show. The Moderates are Long Beach’s favorite hook machine, and their new album Colour has picked up some nice buzz.

“Ghost” Video by RAJ

RÁJ


Debut Single “Ghost” With Accompanying Video Premieres on Pigeons & Planes
Earns Coveted Next Hype Label from the BBC’s Zane Lowe

 

 
 
 
Last week, RÁJ’s debut single “Ghost” exclusively premiered via Pigeons & Planes and earned the coveted “Next Hype” label from tastemaker DJ Zane Lowe of BBC Radio One.
 
 
Now, RÁJ has again partnered with Pigeons & Planes to premiere the video for “Ghost.”
 
Shot on location in Budapest, amidst grey skies, rain puddles, and old city streets, it tells the story of a woman whose brittle hands and mournful visage belie the lavish attention she gets from the men around the city.
 
Much of the video is about movement: trams running through the beautiful cityscape, bus rides, rain drops, walking home from work. But it is also about stasis: about the invisibility we battle on a daily basis, stuck in patterns and relationships and roles that we feel powerless to change.
 
In other words, the video is about being a ghost. Or, as Heidegger would say, it’s about fallenness. While it might be a little much to call RÁJ a modern-day Heidegger, he’s clearly onto something poignant here.

RAJ releases A “Ghost” to the Airwaves

Left-field artist RÁJ is mysterious — even we don’t know who he is. And like Jai Paul or Burial before him, he’s a singular voice, one whose mysteriousness aids his sly, tough to pin down songs.

“Ghost” is a slow burner that draws the sonic hallmarks of beat culture into the realm of actual songcraft, like Bon Iver collaborating with Bibio. As it builds, RÁJ carries the song into high drama territory, with an intensity that sounds like a male Florence Welch.
RAJ likes to play with a the sounds of instruments  in his release of “Ghost”.  This will not be on most people’s radar because of the uniqueness of his sound.  His voice is really clear and a pleasure to listen to.  This is one that after I listened to it I could get into.  If you like experimenting with your music this is definitely one for you.  Give it a listen below by click on the link.

The Wyld Premieres Their Newest Single

Complex Premieres Latest Track
‘Odyssey’ From The Wyld

THE WYLDE’S NEW SINGLE

‘ODYSSEY’

PREMIERING NOW ON

COMPLEX MUSIC

 

The Wyld were nice enough to give away their debut album, ‘Preface‘, for free on Pigeons and Planes last month. Now they’re premiering their high octane new single, “Odyssey,” on Complex.
Stream it here.

The Wyld have a mix of Rap and Electronic Pop, very interesting.  This New Zealand group has the beats hitting you full force and the vocals are clear so you can enjoy the complete package.  That being said they have a sound that isn’t quite main stream, so it might take a few listens to let their music sink in.  Give them a chance you might find you enjoy them.  Click the links above to stream their song “Odyssey” and the Pigeons and Planes link to listen to their first full album.

New Zealand outfit The Wyld just finished recording Odyssey, along with the rest of their upcoming EP, Abstract, in the Red Bull Studios in Auckland.  Needless to say, the title is a perfect encapsulation of The Wyld’s gracious pairing of ballooning, smoothly layered lyrical flow and fever-pitch rhymes.  The song comes together strand by strand with drum beats, synths, Mo’s raps and Brandon Black’s welcomingly gentle harmonies weaving together a cord of musical adventure.
