Keith Urban

I didn't really know right away who Keith Urban was when I was invited to one of his concerts this summer, but I'm glad I decided to say yes to going! I took these pictures on my phone and I later checked my backup photos on Google+ and this awesome gif was just there! He is a great performer and looooves his fans (and guitar solos). Also, he walked by me to perform for the crowd on the lawn and I touched his arm. Eeee!

Video Series - Maroon 5

"Love Somebody"

Behind the scenes

Video Series - Foster the People

"Houdini" live on SNL



I listened to this song on repeat on my road trip. Foster the People is great band live.

Video Series - Julian Smith

"Jellyfish"



This is Julian Smith as Jeffery warning all of us about the dangers of not speaking clearly. Also, this song is a little bit stuck in my head.

Video Series - LMFAO

"Party Rock Anthem" It will get in your bones.



"Hey man, I ain't got time for your demo, homie."

Video Series - Hoodie Allen

"You Are Not A Robot" by Hoodie Allen. I have a huge crush on this guy. This is the only song with a video, so here it is. (Just so you know, Mom, he's a rapper. And there's one f-bomb- earmuffs at 1 min!)


The song that's sampled is called "I Am Not a Robot" by Marina and the Diamonds. The video is super strange but the song is catchy.

Video Series - Maroon 5

"Misery"
Adam Levine looks like Jack from Lost to me. Anyone else?

Video Series - 2AM Club

I really like this song. I'ts called "Worry About You"

Video Series - Whale sharks in Japan

Kuroshio Sea - 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world - (song is Please don't go by Barcelona) from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo.

Really cool aquarium that's in Okinawa, Japan. That piece of glass is about a foot thick, 25 feet tall and almost 75 feet long! The tank holds nearly 2 billion gallons of water and is the home of whale sharks and manta rays. Read more on Wikipedia.

Video Series - She & Him

I have not see (500) Days of Summer but I'd like to, especially after seeing this complimentary video. The star Zooey Deschanel says a quick intro then the magic begins. Please enjoy "The Bank Dance."



I want to learn this dance, don't you? My favorite part is when he checks his watch on top of the desk!
Song: Why Don't You Let Me Stay Here?
Performed by: She & Him (Zooey is the "she"!)

Video Series - Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat

This is the song "Lucky" sung by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat and the video is performed in American Sign Language by YouTubers Ally and Aaron!!



At the beginning Ally signs the title of the song, who it's by and also that Aaron is her signing partner. I'm glad I found this particular video since I really like the song, especially since the video version by the singers is a little bit boring (plus I can't put it up on my blog anyway!!)

Video Series - Matt and Kim

This is in a Bacardi commercial (the one with the guy walking 'back thru time' to get to the bar for a fresh Mojito) It's an interesting commercial... you can watch it on YouTube :)

Video Series - Regina Spektor

This is the video for "Fidelity" by Regina Spektor. Enjoy!




When I was in London for study abroad I didn't have a computer so I spent a lot of time in the computer lab. This is one song I found on a BBC website that I could play on auto-repeat, so needless to say, I listened to this song constantly while I worked.

Video Series - David Choi

Video Series - All American Rejects

"Gives You Hell" - All American Rejects performed by YouTuber Soar of the Chonchords. I can't post the band's actual video of this awesome song, but this guy's version is wicked cool.




I also have to mention his 365 project on YouTube, which is pretty cool. On day 126 he shared his 5 favorite musical sounds which was my suggestion!

Video Series - Oren Lavie

During my countless hours on YouTube, it's not surprising that I've come across videos that not only have good (or great) songs but that are very interesting to watch as well. Until recently, I was bummed that I couldn't share these cool videos with you, but then I (accidentally) found out how to put videos in here. Yeahhh! This is the video that I wanted to share the first time I saw it: "Her Morning Elegance" by Oren Lavie.
