Sugar Ray covers chart-topper “Day ‘N Nite” by Kid Cudi. I liked this version quite a bit…and yeah…I’ll admit it…I love Sugar Ray. At least their stuff from the late ’90s / 14:59 era.

Remember viral sensation Tina Chen, the awkward Britney Spears-singing SEX GODDESS (ahem) from a few years ago? Well, here’s a montage of her best stuff, to her wonderful cover of “Gimme More.” I thought I would bring it back, because Ann Fortune sent me this video and I realized that not everyone in the world was so blessed to have already seen Tina work her magic.

“This fascinating 20-minute video [well, let’s say audio documentary, since there’s hardly any visuals to it] narrates the history of the “Amen Break,” a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music — a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison’s 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.”

Emma the Dog has some problems understanduing how the hell the cat can fit into the computer screen. At one point she actually goes over to see the cat in her box to make sure she is really there. I just love the head tilts!

A few months ago, I posted Playing For Change: Stand By Me, which features artists from all over the world singing different parts of the same song, which are then expertly edited together to make a beautiful international collaboration. Here is another song from this series, this time covering Bob Marley’s classic reggae song “One Love.”
Below it is a similar video — same concept, same song — but it’s not with artists around the world…it’s artists from around Los Angeles. But considering how multicultural LA is, it’s actually quite diverse.
