Christmas in Hollis

This was a smart concept and the first holiday song made by a hip-hop artist.
It's a great video as well.

Feed The World

It is great to see big name artists get together to do something for a good cause.
Too bad artists do not collaborate to make songs like this anymore.

Wishing Well Banned

Terence Trent D'Arby is a talented artist that I feel did not get the respect that he should he deserved. He is a great musician was very confident about that in 80's. He was confident enough that he even compared his talent to the Beatles talent being in the just being in the tip of his pinky. After that comment, you never heard too much more of him in the limelight.


He now goes by the name of Sananda Maitreya. He resides in Italy and is still releasing music. His website is http://www.sanandamaitreya.com/

Don't Stop Believing and Spread Love

Today, I thought I would post a couple of motivational music videos. Recently I have been having conversations with people that broke up with someone, lost their job or have just been struggling with some matters in their lives. Well no matter how bad something may seem, there is always an upside. The key is believing that there is hope and having faith. Sometimes I know that may seem hard to do but if you focus on the positive,things will open up for you.




Also now matter what, keep continuing to spread love in the universe. Happiness come from love.


Have a great a day! Stay positive!

The Atari 2600

Before PSII and X Box there was the Atari 2600. That was the original video component system that was a phenomenon in the 80's. When you look at the graphics now in compared to what a play station game looks like, you can call It a case of video game leprosy. Back then it was heaven. There were many late nights staying up and playing until you turned the game over back to zero. It was a lot of fun!

The $750 Dollar Music Video

As music videos evolved over the decades, the expense to make the has remarkably increased. There have been videos made for over 3 million dollars. That is a alot of money for a 4 minute promotion item that is not guaranteed airplay.

Keep it simple is always something that is preached when promoting or marketing something. Van Halen definitely kept it simple when creating the music video for "Jump". It was recorded in music studio and and edited. It cost them $750 approximately dollars to make this video. It was a top 10 hit on the Billboard Charts and received a bunch of airplay. It was pretty easy for them to recoup that expense from their record sales.
