memorial music monday : billys goodnight
for this memorial day i wanted to do a little remembering via blog. billy joel’s goodnight saigon has always been a fav of mine. for the normal video to this song.
weezer video : viral at its best : not quite music monday
i love this new weezer video (part cause i love weezer) but it encompasses all those random viral videos that we have come to know and love. brilliant! tip chris brogan. so as chris suggests, how long till this itself goes viral? as for music one needs to watch the video twice so you can focus on the music and not focus on picking out what viral video you have or have not seen.
