Last week's string of creative concept videos were particularly catchy and enjoyable. The artists were able to have both a good song and a unique video, something very difficult to pull off. This video from 2008 doesn't necessarily support a strong song; however, the star of the show is clearly the creative concept behind the video itself. You'll be so drawn in by the visuals that you may not care whether the music/lyrics are worthy.

Fab Friday 1/20 OK-Go
We are visiting some catchy, unique, and perhaps even viral videos as we explore popular music. Just my opinion- but as far as catchy and unique go, this band takes the cake. If you haven't experienced the quirky products of OK Go, here are my faves.

Back in the Saddle...and Fab Friday 1/13/12
Couple of things...
8th Graders are beginning their unit on careers in music, with the first stop being multimedia music. With the network at school experiencing problems due to NWEA testing, we were unable to get into some of the sites that will help shed some light on this area. Here are the links to some sites that are relevant, including the production company representing the composer featured in the week's listening log.
-The blog entry that discusses the ideas, jobs, and "how-to" of the music in gaming market.

-Position, Inc.-the middle man company that carries some very talented artists and composers
www.positionmusic.com
-Home page of composer James Dooley. He wrote "Sanctus", the piece we listened to this week.

And finally...the video clip we viewed for Fab Friday this week. Truly a viral video when it's had over 16 million hits within a week! (sorry 'bout the italics; can't seem to get rid of it!!)
