New Orleans Jazz - "O Holy Night"

Ok...I admit it.  Bo M. got me into watching Studio 60.  I was touched when I finally watched my Tivo'd episode from Monday night to see the following performance.  Merry Christmas!

In A Separate Product Review…

I just blogged about TGIWF’s new ZUNE due in later this week.  On his blog, he points you to a ZUNE promoting web-site which has fun little creatures and movie clips.  I’ve been meaning to blog about Lily Allen anyway, but since I saw this web-site this morning, I had to finally sit down and do it today.

Lily Allen is a artist based in London that I was turned on to by my friend Perez, and her infectious sound was highlighted in one of the ZUNE promo’s.  Click here and check out what TGIWF describes as the people-eating gumby creatures.  Lily Allen is the featured music artist for this clip.

Since downloading Lily Allen’s new album, Alright, Still…and playing it non-stop, both in my car and on my laptop at work, I’ve now turned all of my friends on to this London talent.  My former step-teen, Sam has since bought a copy and the song Knock ‘Em Out is featured on her MySpace account.  I have also infected her friend Mimi, Sarah W. Lindsay L. and countless others.  If you enjoy Gwen Stefani as much as I do (who has a new album “The Sweet Escape dropping on December 5, 2006), you will definitely enjoy Lily Allen.

You can check out the latest video from Lily Allen, Littlest Things below as well as Gwen Stefani's new single, Wind It Up.  Would you believe I listen to this stuff and the Dixie Chicks?

Dixie Chicks - Shut Up & Sing

NBC is refusing to air a commercial for the Dixie Chicks new documentry, Shut Up & Sing, so I'm offering to post it for them.  I'll be seeing the girls at the Pepsi Center on November 27th.

CraZy FrOg - AxeL F

This post is for Phill L.   The Crazy Frog video has come up alot recently in our conversations with friends, so I thought I'd host it for him and include the history behind the video.  (History provided by Wikipedia.

"Crazy Frog (created August 25, 2004 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a character used in the marketing of a ring tone based on The Annoying Thing, a computer animation created by Erik Wernquist. Marketed by the ringtone provider Jamba! (known as Jamster! in English-speaking markets and China), the animation was originally created to accompany a sound effect produced by Daniel Malmedahl while attempting to imitate the sound of a two-stroke moped engine. It is sometimes referred to (especially in the "Axel F" video) as "The Most Annoying Thing in the World" or as "The Annoying Thing".

The Crazy Frog spawned a worldwide hit single with a remix of "Axel F", which reached the number one spot in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and most of Europe. The subsequent album Crazy Frog Presents Crazy Hits and second single "Popcorn" also enjoyed worldwide chart success, and the release of a second album entitled Crazy Frog Presents More Crazy Hits was announced in 2006. The Crazy Frog has also spawned a range of merchandise and toys, and a video game, all of which were very popular for Christmas 2005. Negotiations are also underway for a TV series based on the character."

Christina Aguilera - Hurt

It looks like we should have the Moab Warthog Jeep flop video today, so I'm testing to make sure I know how to embed the video into my blog.  My test, below is the new Christina Aguilera video for her new single, Hurt.  If you see the Christina video, you should see the Jeep video by tomorrow morning!
