David Choi Covers Owl City – Fireflies

David Choi does another video similar to his BEP cover of ‘I Gotta Feeling’. This time it’s of the Owl City song ‘Fireflies’.

This one’s a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it. Looks like a TON of editing though. Even David admitted it took forever hahaha.

This video took me FOREVER!!!! Check it out & check the Descriptions for the FREE MP3!!!! :) http://bit.ly/34Dn4B

 

Just ‘Cause: GT & Friends – Cali Days

Remember how I went on vacation last month? Well in case you were bored and had 20 min to kill here’s a video highlighting the events of the trip. Don’t ask why I used pandora.tv. Long story short, I used some songs that WMG threw a fit over and as a result the video was rejected by youtube & veoh among others. So this was my workaround.

Check out what went down on our vacation as we hit up San Francisco, drive down the coast of California, chill in LA and wrap it all up in San Diego.

Featuring music by:
Tomoyasu Hotei – “Battle Without Honor or Humanity”
Jay Sean ft. Lil’ Wayne – “Down”
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – “Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World”
Daphne Loves Derby – “Hammers & Hearts”.The Far East Movement ft. Storm – “A Beautiful Day”
Magnetic North – “Drift Away”
Gifted Thought ft. Shinobi – “Take Me Away”

Oh yea, I’ve also relaunched my personal website in case any of you were interested. Hit me up at giftedthought.com.

Kristine Sa Releases (Old) New Song – “A Song Of Faith”

Kristein Sa has released another old but perviously unheard demo song entitled ‘A Song of Faith’. She stated:

This was written and recorded about 3 or 4 years ago, I believe. This exact recording was the first take of the song, recorded in my bedroom, on my laptop, and I kept as a demo/rough. It’s no where near being finished for release but I wanted to share it because I figured maybe that’s how these songs should be heard, in their first form. It’s late right now and I’m not even sure if I’ll keep the song up. Tomorrow morning I might be insecure about this exact recording and remove it! hehe. But until then, here it is.

I hope she decides to leave it up because I thought it was a beautiful song. And I agree, there’s a certain geniune quality to first takes that can’t be easily reproduced sometimes.

Mia Kim is Keyboard Magazine’s Unsigned Artist of the Month

Indie artist Mia Kim (whose album we recently reviewed) has been named as Keyboard Magazine’s unsigned artist of the month for November. Here’s what they had to say about her:

Who Is Sukey Rose? In short, a fictional character about whom Los Angeles’ Mia Kim sings with verve and passion. It’s also an engaging concept album brimming with keyboard textures of all shapes and flavors. “Oh, Sukey Rose” uses tremolo electric piano, soaring trance-like synths, and driving low-range piano to help tell the title character’s story, while “Safe” rides on energetic surf organ and shimmering Wurlitzer, propelled throughout by Mia’s powerful vocals. Equal parts sugar and edge, pop and rock, Mia’s album poses a question well worth listening to.

A huge congrats to Mia for the recognition!
