Song of the Day #14 - Justin Timberlake feat. Jay Z - Suit & Tie

Time for some quality pop. I like music from a lot of genre, the important part is usually that it's done very very well by quality people.. Hard to explain. In the pop genre there are few other who beat Justin Timberlake and I was so thrilled to see that he has finally done some music again. Quality singing, quality dancing, quality arrangements, quality hook-line, this is groovey! Doesn't hurt that the video is fantastic and look like a series of black and white photos from the 50's and 60's. I mean, Justin doesn't really hurt our eyes does he? And as if that is not enough, Jay Z pops in there, more quality! These guys know what they are doing and they are doing it well and dear to take some chances. It's just.. good! As someone commented on YouTube: "Hey Bieber, Daddy's home!" I couldn't agree more. Have a happy Monday!

Radiohead + JayZ mix by Hovahead

I am not usually a rap-fan at all but Jay-Z is a great guy and there is no doubt about it. I really love the way he samples and produces and completely love his song "99 problems". I also really love Radiohead as you all know by now, so a mix between a Radiohead song and 99 problems is almost ultimate joy. I think I have heard about this guy that mixes Jay-Z and Radiohead before but was reminded about it thanks to the great Radiohead-site: At Ease.com. The artist is Hovahead and his experiments with Jay-Z and Radiohead songs can be found at his MySpace-page. My favorite so far is National Problem that is a mix between National Anthem and 99 Problems, but it might be because I haven't heard a lot of the Jay-Z tunes. I just realized though that I really like the way Jay-Z raps, and with Radiohead in the background it's quite magic. Enjoy or just try something new :) Oh and I love how Radiohead takes over the All I need mix :)

Great commercials: HP - The computer is personal again

I watch a lot of tv and I believe that some commercials are actually works of art. I really really like the HP series with famous people talking about how and for what they use their computer. Some of my favorite artists are also featured like Michel Gondry (I am sure I will have at least one blog just about him later), Jay-Z (that I really respect as a great producer.. I am sure there will be a blog about him sooner or later too )..

I love how the commercial uses great effects and at the same time tells the story of the people without showing something as personal as their head and face. That way the story gets really personal and makes pictures in you head in a new way. You also go through the whole thing wondering who this person is, before it's revealed in the end. So I am gonna post them now without telling you who the persons are. So that you can get a bit excited and amazed about this people too. You should watch them embedded if you can, at my blog site. If you open the link, the name of the clip will be revealed at YouTube. The first one actually chocked me the most as a I didn't really think that this person could be like that.
