I thought I might post a few videos from VH1s JumpStart. This is what I watch when it’s 5 o’clock in the morning and I’m awake and can’t get back to sleep. Anyway, the first one is “Mercy,” the second single off Duffy’s debut album, Rockferry. The next is “Apologize” from the November release, Dreaming Out Loud, by OneRepublic.

I love this next song, “Sorry” by Buckcherry from his album 15, which is just about two years old already. I feel like it’s such an old song but I still love it every time I hear it. I can’t get sick of it. This is the same way I felt about “Everything,” his third single off the same album. I wanted to buy the album for the longest time but never did because, while the first single, “Crazy Bitch,” is a catchy song, I just hate the lyrics.

Finaly, here’s a newer one for ya,’ “Hollywood’s Not America” released April 1st on Ferras’ debut, Aliens and Rainbows.

Here’s another ‘Fueled by Ramen’ for ya’. If you listen to the radio you will now be hearing this single off Paramore’s June 2007 release, Riot! Hayley Williams looks sweet to me. She can belt it out like she’s a tough-girl but she’s just a sweetie. If I didn’t have real red hair I would have her red hair.

I’ve been lookin’ for a while to get you a good video from Phantom’s new album, Raise The Dead, releasing next Tuesday. Since I haven’t found any I thought I would post an oldie from 2002’s, The Guest, which also had my favorite song, “One Ray of Sunlight.” You thought I was going to say “California?” That’s a good one too. For those who don’t know, that song has a toned down rerecorded version from 2005, “California 2005.”

I saw these guys last month and, is it just me, or do they look young? I believe they’re all in their late 20’s. Anyway, they have great energy and were very good live. As soon as new videos are available I will post them. In the meantime enjoy “Lonely Day.”

This album, On A Clear Night, by Missy Higgins was released a year ago. I came across this song while listening to Pandora today and remembered the video. I went out and bought a hat like the one she’s wearing. It didn’t really do anything for me, I wore it maybe twice.

Released February 19th, here’s one off Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago. Alone for months in a cave in Wisconsin, Justin Vernon wrote and recorded the ten tracks that make up this debut album. I’ve been listening to mellow stuff all day long; Ray LaMontagne, Grayson Capps, Jack Johnson, James Morrison, Mason Jennings, a little DMB. Anyway, this prompted me to post a relaxing tune.

This is a band from Sweeden and that is frontman Rasmus Kellerman. This album, The Loyal, shows some electronica influences which gives off a bit of an empyreal feel. I would also suggest listening to “Sell Out” from their first album Is My Head Still On?
