Lifehouse will premiere their new music video for “Halfway Gone” this Monday, exclusively on VH1. A quick, 15 second sneak peak is available in the meantime. Check it out, and visit VH1.com on Monday the 23rd to see the band in action in the full video.
“Halfway Gone” is available now on iTunes and is the first single from Lifehouse’s forthcoming album, Smoke & Mirrors. The album is the band’s fifth studio release and will hit stores on February 2, 2010.
We love 100 Monkeys here. All of them (Jackson Rathbone, Ben Graupner, Ben Johnson, Jerad Anderson, and Uncle Larry). And I am so happy to see that one of my favorite songs, Ugly Girl, is a music video. And really watching the guys putting on makeup is funny! I love it! I think the guys should for sure rock that look more often at concerts.
Jackson did an interview recently and he was saying how he is more excited about music than acting…which later he explains that he loves both. (Considering the band is releasing a new album, GRAPE.)
“People say that [I'm more excited about music than acting], but I just feel like I have more control over music than I do over, say, playing Jasper in the Twilight series. Because I get to write the words that I sing. As opposed to as an actor, I wear what people want me to wear, I stand where they want me to stand, I say what they want me to say. That’s great — I love being an actor and I’ve been studying to be an actor since I was about 14 years old. But music balances it out. I can’t have one without the other.”
I know that I would be sad if Jackson left either place. He can rock it out and act. And later in the interview I love how humble that Jackson has stayed.
“We don’t have a cushy life. We’re not playing arenas and selling them out yet. We play dirty dive bars and love it. Whenever we’re on the road we sleep in two motel room and take turns sleeping on the floors. It’s not all glamorous and it’s great. If it were all glamor, it’d be boring.”
I love that they play at the “dirty bars” I have heard nothing but good things about their concerts. It could be that they are more intimate because they are smaller. They love to connect with the audience. And for that…they will always be loved.
I am a music freak. I probably listen to more of it in a day then is probably legal. Even when I went trick or treating tonight I had my iPod on. I should have been paying attention to the kids squealing and giggling. And especially because this will probably be the last year my daughter goes. But beyond all that I just wanted to listen to music.
Last week this song by Serabee came across my desk. I clicked the link to watch her youtube video, Driving Me Stupid, and I loved it! The first time even. She has an EP coming out on November 10th, and I’ll be writing about it before then because I’ve had a chance to listen to it. I have to say this girl is amazing…I love her sound. It’s so different. When I was listening to it the first time she reminded me alot of Marc Anthony. I love that sound.
We have been waiting all week for the new video by Britney Spears. Finally, this morning she released the video on Twitter. I have to say that I like it. And then I take a listen to the lyrics….
Merrier the more
Triple fun that way
Twister on the floor
What do you say?
Is this a song about threesomes? I guess this is the new open-minded world…
This moment seems bittersweet to me. I finally get to see Adam Lambert in a video. I think that I’ve finally come to terms that he’s better this way. He has an awesome solo career in front of him. Look at him in this theme song for the movie, 2012, called Time For Miracles. Adam is an amazing miracle…rock on!
The All-American Rejects have just debuted the music video for their single “I Wanna.” In true Rejects fashion, the Paul Hunter (Gwen Stefani, Lenny Kravitz) directed clip features the ultimate house party and rock star performance. Watch the video to see Tyson Ritter’s unconventional love story unfold through a series of cell phone screens.
