From the New England band that brought you "Satellite" a few months ago comes another indie music video, "30 Lives." Both catchy and entertaining, the song and its video are more professionally produced than some of their more popular contemporaries - I won't name names. While likely reminiscent of high school days, it's somewhat of a learning video as well -- don't eat the purplish gobbledygook that comes from the school cafeteria, and be extra careful when balancing atop the bleachers at your high school team's football game.
If you weren't at the Midway Cafe in Jamaica, MA to see them play their last venue, not to worry. They've got another show coming up February 26. The rub? It's at an "undisclosed location." Oh well. Check their show itinerary list for upcoming events when they publish the name of their next gig! For now, just enjoy watching "30 Lives."

Let's just follow the trend and do a recap of all the great songs, artists, and videos from the past year like every other indie blog is doing at the moment. Hey, they've got a good thing going. Most Commented Song of 2007: "Hero" by Alex Lloyd
The most commented, and perhaps most controversial, song of 2007 was written and sung by Alex Lloyd. Straight from the United Kingdom, he penned a song about a hero who couldn't fly - an obvious reference to himself. However dissed or loved it was, readers and I came to the conclusion (after a big fight and an apology) that this is one of the best songs in indie history.
Most Loved Artist of 2007: The Revs
The Revs made it to number one for most-loved artist of 2007. With four hits, including "Broken", "Death of a DJ", "You Shine", and "Wired to the Moon", they scored it out with the most posts.
My Favorite Band of 2007: Nu-Matix
Straight from the islands of Germany, Manuel DeMann, Tim, Haye, and Antimo rocked the blog with "Set Me Free" and "Down." Current activities are under wraps, but in the meantime, check out the post from their US debut, or check out their site.

If I could have one Christmas wish, I would wish all Christmas songs were original - like this.
Say hello to Ee Thai, a teenager direct from Singapore, who took time out of his directing life as head of Crappy Films to write this Christmas piano piece. Entitled "Christmas Wish," its crisp, wintery flavor conjures thoughts of Jim Brickman melodies and a little bit of Eastern flavor.
Throughout this Christmas season, I'd like to spread the holiday cheer to any suffering independent artists out there whose Christmas songs have gone unnoticed and unappreciated. If you are such an artist (or if you know of one), just post a YouTube link of your Christmas music video in a comment; you just might see that video in the next post!

Like it or not, the Christmas season is upon us, yet again. In my case, it's "like it not." Call me Scrooge, but Christmas comes once a year too often. It's not the snow. It's not the ice. It's not the sound of the cash falling out of my wallet at the speed of sound that gets me down. It's the constant drone of "Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire" whined by the likes of Clay Aiken and "Jingle Bells" sung in seven different languages that nearly grosses me out. And Ashley Tisdale's "This Christmas" has been played ten too many times on too many different television shows.
SO I've made an end-of-the-year resolution: I will not tolerate rehashed Christmas songs. Nope. No more American Idol Christmases, no more George Michael remakes. This Christmas, I'm going completely indie.
That's why I'm so hyped about this Christmas song by a young man known only to me as Laron. His viewers have described him as sounding like Teddy Geiger, and personally, I think we can throw in a little James Blunt and a smidge of John Mayer. This is one Christmas song you're likely to play over and over again throughout the season, and I can bet you this: the radio will not be playing it over and over like a broken record. So are you ready for the fresh sounds of indie Christmas? Just press play.
