Videos of the Week February 5th

Sticking with a NFL theme this week seeing that the Super Bowl is this weekend. Although it was tempting, I resisted posting a few of the entertaining commercials before they air on Sunday. It truly wouldn't be the Super Bowl without crazy, ridiculous ads, so we'll leave those cats inside the box.

First, the novelty. The 2016 Bad Lip Reading video Part 1 might be one of the more entertaining videos I post all year. They never disappoint, year after year. Similarly, Fallon did an excellent job of roasting some of the players who will be taking part in the big game this weekend. On the music front, The Chainsmokers continued their EDM conquest on Fallon by performing their now #1 iTunes dance single Roses. Coldplay also released a new video with Beyonce's help, but I was a little confused about the lyrical content being about drunk and high...on life? Definitely a celebratory video and much more feel good than I imagined. To end the week, how about some dap for Ohene Savant. There are plenty of people who can either play a live instrument, or produce music or even rap. But can any of them do all of them with a degree of skill? Needless to say, he's much more the exception to the rule, so give him a look and don't be afraid to be amazed like I was...#GeniusLevel

Videos of the Week January 24th

Eclectic mix of goodness this week with the top five videos. Kudos for Disclosure for the most creative video of the week. providing a fun mix of animation between real and digital. If Krewella's video for Human doesn't make you want to attend one of their shows, then you're not watching what I'm watching. The biggest music industry news of the week surrounded the release of Beats Music. It will be interesting if they can find a way to pull together the music streaming service with their product ecosystem. It was interesting to read the reaction from Spotify's founder who wasn't afraid to throw some shade at the new celebrity (Thom Yorke, Trent Reznor, Dr Dre) backed competitor. All I know is, more competitors means more options for the consumer, so it's good for those of us who like choices.

In other news, The Grammys are this Sunday and I'm looking forward to K Dot reeling in some awards for the musical rampage he went on this year. Equally as cool has been Macklemore's story and coming up without major label backing. Lots of positivity and exposure for Hip Hop, which will be great. As a bit of icing on the cake, I'll never get tired of the NFL's Bad Lip Reading. Part two just landed and it did not disappoint...#BadLipReading

Videos of the Week January 25th

There's a solid balance of well produced music videos and funny/entertaining clips this week. If you aren't one of the 24 million plus that have seen the NFL lip reading video, I'd start with that, but if you have seen it and are in the mood for a little awkward situational comedy, then @LAHWF's video is a must-see.

As an interaction designer in training, I'm really enjoying these creative mixed reality lyric videos that are popping up. They seem to be a new trend that probably costs a lot less to pull off than the usual production. Also, it isn't everyday you see an orchestra covering a R&B hit like @frank_ocean's Bad Religion. Last but not least, this just in, @NicoleScherzy is downright sexy...#Boomerang
