Mayer Hawthorne Plays His Own Halftime Show as Nickelback Alternative

Earlier this month, soul singer Mayer Hawthorne campaigned in the Rolling Stone studio to replace Nickelback as the halftime performer for the big Detroit Lions home game on Thanksgiving Day after many loyal Lions fans attempted to get the rockers kicked off the bill. Nickelback is keeping the gig after all, but that's not going to stop Hawthorne from celebrating Thanksgiving – and the Lions – in style on Thursday. In this clip, the Detroit native announces that he'll be broadcasting his own halftime show from his parents' house, with his own dad on bass. "I'm gonna play a short medley of favorites and some songs especially for Detroit," says Hawthorne. "The band will be all local musicians from Detroit. We'll be watching the game upstairs!"

God's Eye View(Film Montage)

This type of shot is commonly referred to as a "God's Eye View" angle. The camera lens is perpendicular to the subject without any POV reference, which gives the viewer an omniscient viewpoint of the character and the surrounding space. This video is incredible! There are some really great films in here!

The video is cut to the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Down Boy" from the "Is Is" album.

Childish Gambino: Behind the Scenes of “Camp” (Video)

Hear some as-of-yet unheard material and see Donald direct some singers. Shouts out to Ludwig. Camp dropping November 15 on Glassnote. I can't wait for this album to drop. The video definitely gives me some hope for the album cause I wasn't really feeling Bonfire.

I just wish I was closer cause I was going HAM the whole show and I saw so many people just sitting down up front!

Thoughts of the Day/Song of the Day David Gray Babylon

I'll preface this by saying I am not sure how many people follow my blog or even read anything I write on here.  In the end it is all for me anyways...  With that being said it has been a really long time since I have done any actual blogging and/or writing here. But I feel like I just need to say some stuff and use this as an outlet right now like I use to.

Last night I went to the Mayer Hawthorne show with two of my best and oldest friends.  Sometimes it is crazy to me how long we have been friends, and how old we have become.  While at the same time I still see us as those kids growing up together.  I can truly see how time after college starts to fly by.  You start to live for your weekends and things just move.  I had this realization back in May right out of school, and last night I happened again.  I just felt life, you know real life-the real world if you will.  It just seems like when I am doing my thing that I am on my schedule no thought of going back to school or the work I need to do just living.  I have always looked up to those older than me and wanted to be them, like most of us do.  It is funny because we all continue to chase that idea and still think of ourselves as young.  I love the moments when I realize that I am there now at that point.  To live in the present is key to all things.  These are the good times, the glory years.  Life is quick and youth is fleeting, it is important to do what you want and to enjoy it.

Recently things have been really crazy and hectic(working 12 hr days and 60 hour weeks chasing my dreams!)  It is a daily grind and really can wear you down at times.  But I am happy paying my dues and making strides.  I am still shocked sometimes that I am actually getting to work in the industry I have wanted to work in since I was a child.  I heard a great quote the other day that said "People say good things come to those who wait.  The truth is good things come to those who work!"  So I work and I work hard to make my dreams come true.

Last night at the show I was at a place that holds a lot on memories and significance in my life.  While I was enjoying my night and really soaking up the present moment and looking forward to this new memory.  A lyric to the David Gray song Babylon popped into my head.  It really took my out of the present and made me think of the past.  Then on the car ride home after my 60+ hour work week Babylon shuffled up. The lyrics really touched me.  It had me thinking the whole ride home and pretty much was a catalyst to me writing this tonight.

I can see so many things in my life falling into place and I am really looking forward to my future.  But even with all the career success and opportunity I still feel like something or someone is missing.

I guess when it comes down to it...

I miss you.



Friday night I'm going nowhere 
All the lights are changing green to red 
Turning over TV stations 
Situations running through my head 
Well looking back through time 
You know it's clear that I've been blind 
I've been a fool 
To ever open up my heart 
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule 


Saturday I'm running wild 
And all the lights are changing red to green 
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing 
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream 
Only wish that you were here 
You know I'm seeing it so clear 
I've been afraid 
To tell you how I really feel 
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made 


 If you want it 
Come and get it 
Crying out loud 
The love that I was 
Giving you was 
Never in doubt 
Let go your heart 
Let go your head 
And feel it now 


Babylon, Babylon 


Sunday all the lights of London 
Shining , Sky is fading red to blue 
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves 
And wondering where it is you might be going to 
Turning back for home 
You know I'm feeling so alone 
I can't believe 
Climbing on the stair 
I turn around to see you smiling there 
In front of me 

If you want it 
Come and get it 
Crying out loud 
The love that I was 
Giving you was 
Never in doubt 
And feel it now 
Let go your heart 
Let go your head 
And feel it now 
Let go your heart 
Let go your head 
And feel it now 

Song of The Day Mayer Hawthorne "A Strange Hawthorne"

Trying to go see Mayer tonight, he puts on such a great show I really hope I can make it! This is more of a mellow song but homie got it right with this one the lyrics kill it for me.

We took the long and staedy road
And from the start you had a heart of gold
You broke the mold
I never thought you would decide
The grass was greener on the other side
Of love's divide

You were everything that I wanted and more
Now we can't go back where we started
We'll never be like before

Darling me and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules
And I'm through playing the fool for love
Darling yes it's true, we had a grand engagement
 But I can't stand by, while you break my heart in two
Oooh, I've got to be a man
Baby I've got to take a stand, so

So now we've gone our seperate ways
But in my heart I feel the burning flames
Of love's remains
I'll have to find somebody new
But all who dare will be compared to you
What can I do

You were everything that I dreamed I would find
Now we can't go back where we started

2011 Nike MAG: The Full Story

The Saga continues! Sneaker enthusiasts and fans of the 1989 movie Back to the Future II had to wait almost 23 years for their Nike MAG to drop. After all the video and event hype, an extensive behind the scenes video is presented here. Several of the personalities involved in the whole project go on the record from both Nike and Back to the Future’s teams including Tinker Hatfield and Mark Parker. The Nike MAG has now obviously been made available for collectors through eBay but this video hopefully answers any questions many might have regarding the process behind the greatest shoes never made.  I wish I had stacks in order to get a pair of these.  The bids on ebay were 10,000 and upward!

Reebok Classics & Rock the Bells: Childish Gambino

Well damn I am pretty bummed on the fact that I am not going to Rock the Bells this year. What a killer line up! But what I am extremely bummed about is the fact that I have to sell my Childish Gambino ticket and miss his show in Athens! But I guess when you are chasing your dreams some things just fall by the wayside. It is cool to hear Donald Glover talk about two of my favorite albums though check it out!

Back For the Future: MAG 2011 Nike

Me and my brother were talking about these today. I use to work for Nike selling shoes years ago and have always had a love for Nike. During my childhood Back to The Future was me and my brother's favorite movies! I told my brother ever since I can remember these have been in my Lexicon for what Nike shoes are! So excited just wish I had the scratch to bid on them.
