Current Track: Don't Stop Believin' by Journey
Ok so I've lapsed again, many apologies. I promised new music for Friday and forgot. For those who spend their lives under the rock of Boston's so called "Hits" stations, allow me to introduce you to an artist not yet overproduced and remixed with Jay-Z. An artist that (as of yet) hasn't sold out to Cover Girl ads and D&G. People, meet Amy Winehouse.
Amy Winehouse started in the UK with a Jazz/R&B album and has since gone retro-soul-pop. Think Phil Spector meets The Supremes meets Petula Clark, etc. Her sound is bluesy and soulful, catchy and sharp, and my guess is American's wont 'get it' until she is remixed into a dance track and shoots a video with some sort of trendy theme. For the time being, we have a talented songwriter, performer, and a girl who isn't afraid to be less than the current American ideal for teenage girls. Oh yeah, I saw her in a bar in London a few weeks ago, drinking, not performing.
Oh yeah, I was on national television last Friday. HGTV's Look What I Did featured my place & the Color Kinetics' lights I installed. The production company did a really great job. Check it out:
No I don't really say "Noth Showa". They made me do that for "Bostonality" as they said.
I have to say I am really overwhelmed by all of the interest in the little light show I installed. In case you haven't tired of me saying everything I have been/will be in as a result, here's the breakdown:
Boston Metro
Boston.com
ApartmentTherapy.com
The Economist (Intelligent Life)
HGTV
and tonight a reporter from the AP is coming by. Who knows where that will get published, but hopefully I'll get to make a lot more things light up.
