Song of the Week #4

What has the music industry come to?

This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymKLymvwD2U? (You don't have to listen to the whole thing and I'm sorry!!)

My first question is, "Does her father know about this" or is this some kind of response to her getting grounded for something? I CAN NOT BELIEVE someone would record and release this song, not to mention the video...really?

It just goes to show you that in today's entertainment world, all you need is famous parents! And if you don't have famous parents, just drink underage and do drugs and be in and out of rehab!! I've seen both work in the last 10 years!!

Will, your Fresh Prince highness, please ground your daughter from EVER making another song and music video. I know (I mean I hope) you had nothing to do with this!

Song of the Week #3

Sean "Puffy" Coombs, P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Diddy and now Diddy - Dirty Money. No matter what you call him, he has a fantastic music career collaborating with top artists and even finding some new talent along the way.

Here is one of his latest song and video for the song Coming Home feat. Skylar Grey:

My only problem with Sean's (I'll use his GIVEN name) music is that it seems EVERY song he records is about the loss of Notorious B.I.G. I mean I realize that the two were really close friends (I mean, I've seen the movie Notorious...) but there has to be other topics he can sing about. I mean, it was almost 14 years ago!!

This song is one that I do like, I just wish we could get a song from Diddy - Dirty Money that doesn't let us know how much he misses Christopher Wallace.

Song of the Week #2

Hey everyone!

Today is my birthday so I've decided to not play a song that I've been listening to A LOT this week but one that reflects today!

It's Jeremih with Birthday Sex!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYMxOzxKYYo

I remember listening to this song a couple of years ago and thinking how hilarious it was that someone came right out and recorded a song with this theme!

It is the epitome of "sex sells"...although judging on the fact that we haven't really heard too much from Jeremih, I don't think it sold all THAT much!

Hey, at least he didn't try to hide the fact that he was talking about sex...

Hope you enjoy!

P.S. Check out my blog at www.moosefm.com about special birthdays we should ALL celebrate! I'm looking for any comments on whether you agree or disagree! http://tinyurl.com/4emvbpl

Song of the Week #1.5

I know I said that I would be doing one of these per week but I just had to post this one. You know when you see a video or hear a song that instantly reminds you of a specific time in your life and you just have to share it with someone? Well this one is EXACTLY that!

The song is "As She's Walking Away" by Zac Brown Band feat. Allan Jackson.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tthIHXUsPs

Right off the top you know it's gonna be amazing because A.J. is invovled! Plus Zac Brown Band is making it's way more and more onto my iPhone!

The story being told in the song is pretty close to an experience that I've been through kind of recently so it instantly resonated with me!

Hope you enjoy it!

Song of the Week #1

Hey Everyone,

I'm James King from MooseFM 103.3 in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada! Working at a radio station, I'm around a LOT of music and even though our radio station plays the Greatest Hits of ALL Time, we don't play everything that everybody likes. In fact, to be honest, I don't even listen the station all the time... I have other musical tastes as well.

I've decided to start a blog where I allow anyone who reads it a little insight into the music I like to listen to on a regular basis, new music, bizzaar tunes and anything that I just feel like posting.

I'll be posting a link to a new song and video every week and describing why I have chosen that song and or it's video. Each song (at the time of posting) will NOT be a song from my radio station's playlist...or least for the most part! If I'm feeling a Moose tune, you'll know about it!

So here is my first selection of 2011: Martin Solvieg and Dragonette - Hello

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK42LZqO0wA

This is a very catchy tune and a great video. The song is a little depressing depending on who you are in the lyrics, the man or the woman. The girls is saying that she wants nothing to do with the guy but be friends. The assumption is that the guy is really into her. That's what makes the video so great! It seems that the video is random and has no connection to the song but in the end it's perfectly clear; they're telling the same story! Throw in Bob Sinclair (another artist who records similar music) and an appearance from tennis number 3 ranked Novak Djokovic and you have a recipe for video gold!

Hope you enjoyed the inaugural blog of my song of the week. Feel free to leave your comments whether you agree or disagee and rememebr to tune in next week!

Also, for my thoughts outside of music, check out my blog, Kinger's Zingers, on my station's website;
