VOTW: United State of Pop '09

Posted by Tyler Friday, February 5, 2010 0 comments

     This week I'm showcasing DJ Earworm's latest mash-up, "United State of Pop 2009 (Blame It on the Pop)". The song/video was released on 12/27/09 so you may have already heard/seen it. But, if you have not...I highly recommend you check it out below! The song is a mash-up of the Billboard Top 25 songs of 2009. Here's what DJ Earworm has to say about it, "This year in the charts, so many of the pop songs this year seem to tell the same story: Yeah, we’ve been through a lot, but right now we’re gonna celebrate with music and dance, and it’s gonna be ok. With that spirit in mind, I invite you to…BLAME IT ON THE POP".

A (Belated) Happy New Year

Posted by Tyler Tuesday, January 12, 2010 0 comments


"The Guitar Drop" - Downtown Nashville, 12/31/09

     *BAM*! I'm back. Miss me? Of course you did, wall. Oh excuse me, that's Mr. Blank Wall. ;) Anyways, let me first apologize for the delay in posting. I could say my recent absence was due to an overwhelming amount of partying & down right trouble making but, we know that just couldn't be true. Who me? Seriously. Get real! In actuality, I just haven't had the desire to sit down and type into cyberspace. But, I finally decided it was time. Alright, I almost don't want to say this because it's so belated that it is ridiculous but, tradition...I guess. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Graduating Class of 2010, baby!! I can't wait. Seriously, high school is past overrated. Post-high school experiences lie ahead of me and I don't plan on looking back 10 years from now wishing I could go back. Don't get me wrong, I've had some great times in high school and made some awesome memories. I just feel that too many people get caught up with a skewed view of 'how things used to be' and lose sight of how much they're currently blessed with. Not I! I have high hopes for 2010 and you (the blank wall) should too. So, what have I been up to?
     For New Years Eve my family went downtown for the first annual, "Guitar Drop" at Hard Rock (similar to New York's celebration...expect you know...better...HA). Really though, it was pretty fun. It was exactly ten years ago that we were spending our first New Year in Tennessee so that's cool. Mostly, I've just been enjoying what is left of my break, working, basking in the glory that my team (Alabama) took home their 13th National Title, and straight up chillin'. Well, that's all the time I have for now. I hope everyone is having a great new year and I wish you all the best. Stay tuned as I promise to start back up with the regular posts. Expect the first VOTW of 2010 sometime this week. Also, I'm on Tumblr, again. I'll be posting videos, photos, and other media that doesn't make it to this site. Sweet? Duh. K, bye. What? I don't end posts that way. Geez, 2010 is weird.

Merry Christmas (Eve)

Posted by Tyler Thursday, December 24, 2009 0 comments



The day is upon us! Tomorrow is Christmas Day and all of you crazies are still frantically scavenging the malls. Shame...shame. Only kidding! Seriously, this year has gone by WAY TOO FAST. It's insane. I swear every year time flies quicker than the last. But, I'll save all that melancholy remembrance junk for my New Years post. ;)

Basically, what I'm trying to say is...Merry Christmas. I hope the time you spend (with whoever and wherever) is filled with good times and blessings. If not before...I'll see you in 2010!

-Tyler

You Gotta Believe

Posted by Tyler Monday, December 14, 2009 0 comments

     Back in October, Bryce Avary (of The Rocket Summer), asked the fans to send in videos of themselves singing and/or playing (dancing too it seems) his latest single, "You Gotta Believe". With a promise that the submissions would make up the core of the music video for the single. And, on December 7th AOL.com premiered the music video. Check it out below! This was such a cool way to get the fans involved in the music making process (and a good marketing move too). I expect nothing less of an extremely talented dude. In related news, on December 7th Bryce announced that TRS' fourth full-length release, "Of Men and Angels" will be released in stores and online February 23, 2010.
     I am very stoked about this news and can't wait to hear the new album! Also, TRS' single mentioned above as well as three other tracks can be found on the "You Gotta Believe" EP. I just purchased the EP on iTunes for $2.99 and got a bonus track. Amazon also offers the EP (minus the bonus track) for $2.71.

BLG on the set of their new music video. View more photos.

This week's VOTW is the long anticipated release of Boys Like Girls', "Two Is Better Than One". The song itself follows the great success of the title track, "Love Drunk" which has quickly gained momentum on radio stations everywhere. And now, it too is gracin' the airwaves. Both songs can be found on BLG's sophomore release, Love Drunk. And now, without more delay...here's the simple, beautiful, melancholy creation that is, "Two Is Better Than One".

VOTW: NEW MOON SUCKS!

Posted by Tyler Sunday, November 29, 2009 0 comments

What up! I'm back. Yep, you missed me. Really, I know you did. Hmmm, why do I get the feeling I'm talking to a wall? Eh, no worries. ;) Here's your weekly fill of YouTube-video-spectacular. Errr, I mean...Video of The Week.

The Scoop: Peter Rallis is the mastermind and host of the YouTube show, Movie Buzz. The show is best described in the words of Mr. Rallis himself, "Movie Buzz is the one and only sexy show that will give you the latest up to date news on movies. Awesome. Okbye." Now, this particular episode (no. 185) you're about to watch is guaranteed to offend a few many of you. Why? Oh come on...read the dang title.

"NEW MOON SUCKS! (Movie Buzz 185)" by Movie Buzz


Hahaha. Oh, you'll be okay little Twilight fans. Hey, I've read the first two books and seen both movies. Personally, I have to agree with a few points he makes. But, Rallis' take on the movie was more of a bashing than a "review". Nonetheless...it's stinkin' funny!

Regardless of what you think of that episode...you should really check out the Movie Buzz Channel. Peter Rallis is a funny guy and proves to be a great source for movie news.
