Twisted Christmas Vegas-Style From The Killers
I dare you NOT to laugh at this one! In what is fast becoming an
annual tradition, THE KILLERS have put out another holiday song with a
twist. This one, DON'T SHOOT ME SANTA, is their second holiday
download single- it benefits Bono's RED CAMPAIGN.
So, have a laugh for a good cause and be sure and check out one of the
most hilarious moments in music videos I've ever seen (It has
something to do with a very young Santa)!
...and this is a first for me: a video segue! The Killers' tune
reminded me quite a bit of this one from The Alan Parsons Project.
Enjoy!

Who is the Hottest Musical Couple of the Year?
...If you answered Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, you could be right.
No doubt, their connection on RAISING SAND is one of the greatest
musical surprise moments of the year.
But, to take that kind of chemistry a step further, the two that truly
do it for me are Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. It all started with
the movie ONCE in which they starred as busking musicians on the
streets of Dublin. Then it just exploded when they released a cover of
Dylan's YOU AIN'T GOING NOWHERE from the I'M NOT THERE SOUNDTRACK.
Glen and Marketa stirred up the ghosts of Gram Parsons and Emmylou
Harris for me....from that California country era that brought rock
and roll and country together.
The Frames frontman and the Czech songbird and multi-instrumentalist
exude something more than just chemical when they harmonize. There's
something, well, kind of sexy going on when you see them onstage...or
in the case below, when they heat up the Colorado snow at Sundance. So
check it out and melt away!
p.s. It now seems the two are dating. I never would have guessed ;)

A New Take on Music Videos features TMD Artists
Coming back to Baltimore from NYC this weekend I was handed a magazine
by the person next to me, Nylon Guys. While flipping through articles
I came across an article on Vincent Moon, a filmmaker who is
"reinventing the music video" artists include, R.E.M., Cold War Kids,
the Kooks and Arcade Fire.
Moon is putting out a DVD The Take Away Shows, with these music videos
and more. If you're in the store and see the Nylon Guys magazine, give
it a read, it's worth it.
"In The Take Away Shows Moon has also crashed restaurants with Beirut,
rolled through a warehouse with Cold War Kids, and serenaded school
girls with the Kooks in the streets of Paris" (Mallory Rice, Nylon
