The unsigned Manchester-based band, The Get Out Clause, gets props for a creative use of the CCTV surveillance cameras in the UK.
Since they lacked the funds for equipment and crews, they setup in front of a series of cameras in Manchester and then used the footage, requested via the Freedom of Information Act, to create a music video.
Get the whole story.
This is pretty nifty. I especially liked the fact that they performed on an escalator and a public bus.
Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush won the ACM 2008 Song of the Year award for their song Stay.
For those of you who don’t know, Jennifer Nettles is a former Georgia 4-Her and a former member of the Georgia 4-H performing group, Clovers and Company.
Congratulations, Jennifer, from a fellow Clover.
Well for today’s music, we are featuring some nice work with bottles.
The first video is of a Chinese group that is playing the theme from Mario on partially filled glass bottles. However, they are playing is via an RC car.
The second video is of a trio playing the theme from Tetris using partially filled bottles. I like they way that they appear to have performed it fairly slowly and sped it up for the final video cut.
Today we have a trio of live performances. Two of them are from concerts and the third is from the Late Show with David Letterman. The three artists are: the Counting Crows, the Cure, and Maroon 5.
