I somehow popped backstage last night at BHTM 2010 Live at Red Rocks without ever having a ticket. It was a good show – with sun, rain, a torrential downpour and meeting new friends — but nothing compares to the 06/07/08 four hour live recording dvd show.
From me to you… enjoy the adventure.
Rock on.
From last night:
July 23-Sept. 4
Tickets TBA
Openers Sammy Hagar and the Wabos, J. Geils Band
Aerosmith’s summer ’09 tour was one of the most ill-fated in the band’s colorful career: the band was struck by severe injuries and nearly lost Steven Tyler. But the mended Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are taking their explosive show back on the road again this summer, including a sold-out homecoming show at Fenway with J. Geils Band.
My only question is – how in the hell does Steven Tyler keep moving?
He’s popping 62 years, has overcome both a heroin addiction from the 80s and a pain killer addiction from 2009 — he is older then both of my parents and yet somehow still keeps the show alive. What in the hell are they putting in his water?
This will be his 26th concert tour – Unbelievable.
Interesting perspective Toyota. Win one for the accelerator stick.
John Teas is Ellen’s Video of the Day.
Don’t forget to watch the original.
I watched this once … and laughed.
Watched it again… and laughed even more.
I can’t figure out why I’m laughing? But this kid John Teas is pretty entertaining.
I don’t know if it’s his amazing double grip on the mic… or the pinned feet and body twitch on the major beats of the song (watch 1:13-1:20) – But something sets this amateur video apart from the rest.
I do know John is local to the Denver area and he apparently has a large set of pipes in his second grade body. Combined with moms lackluster camera work and a completely clueless grand finish – this video has it all. Plus Journey doesn’t suck either.
Nice work John Teas and Mom.
Innocence Rules.
UPDATE – April 19th
Rumor has it that John Teas will appear on Ellen next week. Ellen airs at 3:00pm in Denver on channel 9. Keep you posted.
UPDATE – April 26th
John Teas WILL appear on Ellen with Marisa Tomei on Tuesday, April 27th 2010. Ellen airs on NBC channel 9 at 3:00pm Denver time.
Watch preview here.
MattMatt sent me this … I laughed. Partly because it was a double wammy in marketing efforts – and now – it just turned into a triple wammy.
Let me explain.
Have you ever been driving down the road listening to the radio and lets say a Coors Light advertisement comes on the air… and at or near that very same time you pass a Coors Light billboard – Or maybe your following a Coors Light truck, or drinking a Coors Light (not recommended while driving). If you realize both instances and actually process what just happened, then chances are you were just double whammed.
In this case – I was triple whammed by the Insane Clown Posse.
1st – A surprise appearance by Violent Jay at a Hoodlum event.
2nd – MattMatt sends me the Miracles music video.
Triple – Saturday Night Live spoofs it.
Bang Pow Boom – now it all makes sense. Just don’t forget that these guys never graduated from high school.
If magic is all we’ve ever know
Then it’s easy to miss what really goes on
But I’ve seen miracles in every way
And I see miracles everyday
Oceans spanning beyond my sight
And a million stars way above em at night
We don’t have to be high to look in the sky
And know that’s a miracle opened wide
Look at the mountains, trees, the seven seas
And everything chilling underwater, please
Hot lava, snow, rain and fog
Long neck giraffes, and pet cats and dogs
And I’ve seen eighty-five thousand people
All in one room, together as equals
Pure magic is the birth of my kids
I’ve seen shit that’ll shock your eyelids
The sun and the moon, and even Mars
The Milky Way and fucking shooting stars
UFOs, a river flows
Plant a little seed and nature grows
Niagara falls and the pyramids
Everything you believed in as kids
Fucking rainbows after it rains
there’s enough miracles here to blow your brains
I fed a fish to a pelican at Frisco bay
It tried to eat my cell phone, he ran away
And music is magic, pure and clean
You can feel it and hear it but it can’t be seen
Music is all magic
(Are you a believer in miracles)
You can’t even hold it
(Do you notice and recognize miracles)
it’s just there in the air
(Are you a believer in miracles)
Pure motherfucking magic Right?
This shit’ll blow your fucking mind
(Do you notice and recognize miracles)
Music is a lot like love, it’s all a feeling
And it fills the room, from the floor to the ceiling
I see miracles all around me
Stop and look around, it’s all astounding
Water, fire, air and dirt
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist
Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed
Solar eclipse, and vicious weather
Fifteen thousand Juggalos together
And I love my mom for giving me this
Time on this planet, taking nothing for granted
I seen a caterpillar turn into a butterfly
Miracles ain’t nothing to lie
Shaggy’s little boys look just like Shaggy
And my little boy looks just like daddy
Miracles each and every where you look
And nobody has to stay where they put
This world is yours for you to explore
there’s nothing but miracles beyond your door
The Dark Carnival is your invitation
To witness that without explanation
Take a look at this fine creation
And enjoy it better with appreciation
Crows, ghosts, the midnight coast
The wonders of the world, mysteries the most
Just open your mind, and it ain’t no way
To ignore the miracles of every day
(Are you a believer in miracles)
Magic everywhere in this bitch
(Do you notice and recognize miracles)
it’s all around you, you don’t even know it
(Are you a believer in miracles) Shit’s crazy
(Do you notice and recognize miracles,
So many miracles, the magic miracles)
——–SXSW 2010 WINNER! Best Music Video———
[iTunes]
Being out of touch with pop culture is a bad thing. Luckily I spent a night with my couture connoisseur of female creative power… and she caught me up to speed. Cousin Elizabeth – thank you for the wine and dine … and the new queen of pop experience.
What I enjoy seeing here is the Michael Jackson’esque resemblance of story line music videos – along with the processes’ of technology regression. Look for them.
Enjoy.
OK Go did it again with this amazing Rube Goldberg esque music video. But they need to be careful with their making of videos. They are presenting too much non-relevent content which pulls from the video and negatively influences my purchasing decision on whether or not I buy this song. Additionally – they sold out to statefarm… WTS’s.
In 2009 I averaged just over 69 captured media elements a day which is directly on par with the last three years.
I shot 9,582 videos and 14,304 photos on the canon. 1,421 came from the iPhone which is no longer a daily pocket device for me.
Watching The Who play during the Super Bowl XLIV halftime show inspired me to do two things.
1 – Play Rockband again.
2 – Share a song with you.
Hydle – Baba O’Riley – The Who Tribute Remix
Hydle – The White Stripes – Seven Nation Army
This track is from 2002. I gave my brother a shanky computer (it was beige) and he went to town with a free single track sound editor called Amadeus – which has since been developed on.
What still amazing me to this day… is how my brother was able to figure out how to time out and create these effects (using paste over!) and beats to rearrange and remix this famous song into how he always imagined it should have been.
I simply wish Jeremy Hydle was still playing with music. Genius.
Enjoy Cuz.
Here are some more good reasons to get rid of the year 2009 – whew.
Two words … Christmas IS Awesome. I want a set of these mini drums. Thanks Brosive Jer for this random and entertaining bit. The drum fill between 1:40 to 1:53 kills me.
Merry Christmas Everyone
I’m not usually a fan of these types of videos… but for some reason I find myself showing more and more people this video after my cousin Elizabeth shared it with me. There is something about the innocence of an elementary school chorus that makes the future look bright.
I hated choir … and I’m not much a fan of Lady Gaga, but these two wrongs make a right.
