Irish pop-rock band The Script is looking for one fan to be featured in their new music video for their song ” Break Even”. Simply just upload a video of yourself either lip-synching or singing “Break Even” and submit it to “Break Even”‘s youtube page. “Break Even” is about being heartbroken after a break up and watching your significant other move on gracefully. I really like lead singer, Danny O’Donoghue’s voice, it kind of reminds me of Adam Levine (of Maroon 5), but a little bit better, more soulful.

Lyrics to “Break Even”

I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don’t believe in
Cos I got tI’me while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don’t break even

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man thats gonna put her 1st
While I’m wide awake she’s no trouble sleeping
Cos when a heart breaks no it don’t breakeven

What am I suppose to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say when I’m all choked up and your ok
I’m falling to pieces
I’m falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But not wise words gonna stop the bleeding
Cos she’s moved on while I’m still grieving
Cos when a heart breaks no it don’t breakeven

What am I suppose to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say when I’m all choked up and your ok
I’m falling to pieces
I’m falling to pieces
(one still in love while the other ones leaving
Cos when a heart breaks no it don’t breakeven)

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I’m tryna make sense of what little remains
Cos you left me with no love, no love to my name.

I’m still alive but I’m barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don’t believe in
Cos I got tI’me while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don’t break even

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say when I’m all choked up and your ok
I’m falling to pieces
I’m falling to pieces
(one still in love while the other ones leaving
Cos when a heart breaks no it don’t breakeven)

Shwayze Let It Beat Album Cover

What do you think? The above photo is the album cover of hip-hop duo Shwayze’s new album, Let It Beat. I’m more of a top-40 music lover with an album cover that usually shows the artist, and I would definitely like to know the inspiration to this cover. It reminds me of the summer. Shwayze’s recent single “Get U Home”, (also featured on “Let It Beat”) will be featured on the soundtrack to the new horror film “Sorority Row” starring Rumer Willis (daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore), Audrina Patridge (The Hills), Jamie Chung (Real World: San Diego) and Margo Harshman (Even Stevens)

MTV Series Daria Finally Comes Out On DVD

8 Jul

Daria DVD 2010

Fans of the MTV series “Daria” should be rejoicing with the news that the series that introduced Daria Morgondorfer, Jane Lane and the rest of the cast is finally coming to DVD. Although the tv show’s made-for-tv movies are ready for purchase on DVD: Daria : Is It Fall Yet? and Daria Is It College Yet?, they both only have two episodes along with the movie. A fan of Daria myself, I will be definitely looking out for it, its long over due.

michael jackson then and now

I’m not a huge Michael Jackson fan and I don’t like dealing with deaths, funerals, memorials and the like, so writing a post about Michael Jackson and my favorite moments of him just didn’t seem right. I will say that I appreciate his music, which has had a good and bad impact on me ( since viewing “Thriller” as a child to this day, I can’t watch it, it still scares me). Its very sad for anyone to pass away, especially in pain, but with all the publicity and controversy surrounding his personal life hopefully now he is freed of it.

Favorite Song of Jackson 5: The Love You Save

After being canceled in its third season, the CW series “The Game” will have the last laugh, sort of. The first season of the comedy will be released on DVD by the fall of this year. There are also rumors of the show maybe moving to TBS, which is also home to My Boys (one of my favorite shows) and Tyler Perry’s “House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns” .TBS would be a great network for “The Game”,  its become the network for comedy.
