Music Television presents Tim Minchin and his Christmas song titled White Wine In The Sun, filmed live.
Gaby Moreno, the sensational latin recording artist, shared a note with her friends that read: "Last night I saw Tim Minchin performing at Largo. He played this song. Can't tell you how much it moved me..such a beautiful Christmas song from an "non religion" perspective..."
Tim Minchin wrote the following about his song: "A sentimental song about Christmas. This version is taken from the Australian 'Ready For This?' DVD. As in previous years, all proceeds from the sale of this song during the months of November, December and January will go to the National Autistic Society (NAS)."
Music Television is very pleased to present Gaby Moreno and the music video for her song titled El Primer Noel from her Christmas Album titled Posada. Billboard Magazine's Judy Cantor-Navas dubbed Posada "An Instant Latin Christmas Classic".
This is what Gaby wrote to describe her record:
"Posada" is a collection of traditional Christmas songs, recalling the years when I was a young girl living in Guatemala and singing in my church choir. These are the songs we would sing during the month of December at church on Sundays, at Advent family gatherings and for the traditional Latin American celebration "Las Posadas" which begin on Dec. 16th.

Music Television is pleased to present the hard rocking trio named Purple. The members are Joe "Prankster" Cannariato on bass, Taylor Busby on guitar & vocals and Hanna Brewer on drums and vocals.
Purple isn't likely to be a band that is going to heal the world or anything, but the fact that they really know how to have fun is what is so admirable. Big fat kudos for that in this world where too many artists seem to dilute their sound and sell their soul before they have any fun or rock the way they want to
One of the lines in the song is: Give me the love, but not the disease! If that's not a rock star mantra...
Purple is an old Rolling Stones song: "I know, it's only rock & roll, but I like it, like it, yes I do..."
Below is Purple's latest video to their song titled Thirteen from their debut album named 409. Very interesting how the whole song and video is exactly 99 seconds long, and it's not one of those teaser videos. Enjoy!
The amazing soul man, Lee Fields, is on a international tour and he has been getting major love in France this last week.
The acclaimed Paris France based music video productions of La Blogotheque have been featured on our network before, and we are proud to present Lee Fields, an artist we have also featured here before. La Blogotheque's typical style of filming is to capture artists performing in crowded streets and public places, usually in an around Paris. Here, they capture Lee Fields and a guitarist named Vinny performing on The Pont des Arts or Passerelle des Arts, a pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the Seine River.
Warning: This video may induce nightmares, scary twisted dreams and un-pure thoughts. It contains foul language and if you are under 18, your mommy might not want you to watch this.
Here is the latest song and music video by the always provocative and one of a kind South African duo known as Die Antwoord. This is another excellent one, with too many cameos to list. This act is visionary genius on so many levels, not just music, that they defy description. Absolutely love Yolandi and Ninja. Enjoy!
Here is a very groovin' track by The Main Squeeze. The lead vocalist, Jeremiah Hunt, might just be the long lost son of the legendary late great Buddy Miles, or else he is just channeling that special Buddy Miles sound that you are going to love. This is real music. Enjoy!
Just below is a song of sonic bliss with a music video from a very amazing organic group known as SHEL from Fort Collins, Colorado. Their organic artistry, writing, singing and true instrumentalist skills are well honed and unmanufacted by the machine. They are the real deal, live or in the studio, but especially live where you realize their studio versions do not differ from their live abilities. SHEL = Sarah (violin & vocals), Hannah (keys, squeezebox & vocals), Eva (mandolin and lead vocals) and Liza (drums, percussion and vocals). Enjoy!
SHEL - When The Sky Fell
Since this post was originally created, each of the members of SHEL have
started other music and life projects and there are no active links for
the band SHEL at this time. Please check back later for updates.

Here is another excellent One Shot Music Video from OK Go. The band has a long and highly creative history that stretches back to 1998, which can is meticulously laid out on their Wikipedia page, so won't bore you with too many details here. It is their one shot music videos, that were first noticed here back in March of 2010 with This Too Shall Pass, that makes OK Go so interesting. Additional music videos, all the way up until this most present one, have also been "one shot videos" that give these guys so much credibility in the creative planning side. The videos take dozens and dozens of tries to get it in one shot, with tons of work going into every move in their videos. When you mix in all the other elements of their music and business dealings, the realization that they are a real organization and not just a band comes into focus.
Foo Fighters is out promoting their upcoming record titled Sonic Highways, due out in November 2014. Here is a great live take from David Letterman of the Foo Fighters with Zac Brown performing the 1970 classic song by Black Sabbath titled "War Pigs" off their Paranoid Album. This song is very appropriate at this time when the powers that be in Washington and in the PR corridors of Madison Avenue are ramping up war and regime change propoganda under the watch of a Nobel Peace Prize president

This rocking trio is named Purple. They are from Beaumont, Texas. Hanna Brewer is on drums and vocals, Joe "Prankser" Cannariato is on bass guitar and Taylor Busby on guitar and vocals. This first song below is titled Wallflower. They have a fantasticly true rock & roll attitude. Enjoy!

And one more song for the road that seems to ramble on so nicely... It's titled Long Way.
There is a question that has been burning in my mind ever since I became aware of a team of four DJ's/Beatmaster/Performance Artists known as C2C out of France. C2C came up with their own original song titled "Happy", as original as DJ's can be of course, as they sample other peoples songs into their own. Their music video for the song features some amazing dancing, and similarly to Pharrel's release, there was even a contest to involve fans from around the world. This immediately got me wondering after I heard it and saw the video below... Did Pharrell Williams ever hear/watch this C2C version of Happy before he penned his own song titled Happy, complete with dance video and contest? C2C released their own Happy song in December 2012 and Pharrell Williams released his version of Happy in November 2013, nearly one year later than C2C. Perhaps it does not matter, for there is nothing new under the sun. Regardless, C2C deserves some love, for they are a very talented group of guys who know how to muster up excellent music video producers as well.
UPDATE/ANSWER TO THIS POST/QUESTION: A poster on Reddit known as GTAVSUCKS wrote that he thought Pharrell had once admitted that Ce Lo Green wrote the song for Pharrell. However, after doing some research, was led to a story about the history of the song at Contact Music that states:
"In an interview with Howard Stern for his US radio show, Pharrell said: ''[Cee Lo Green] wanted to do it .. and he did do it. He sounded amazing on it. He burns my version! But ... how do I say this diplomatically? The powers that be, at the time, did not see it fit for him. Some folks on his team just felt that the priority should be on [Cee Lo's] album at the time [2012's 'Cee Lo's Magic Moment'], so they elected not to do that song."
C2C - Happy
Here is one more very cool song titled Delta :)
C2C - Delta
and maybe the coolest of their songs, maybe.... (because they are all pretty grooving)
The first time we featured Birdy and four of her videos was back in a March of 2012 post where we wrote: "The songs below are by a gifted girl who can sit down at the piano and sing her ass off with no pomp or circumstance and deliver the goods with exceptional perfection. Her sensitive and emotionally driven angelic voice is mind alteringly beautiful." Standing by our previous statement, we are proud to present the latest single from Birdy titled Not About Angels from The Fault In Our Stars film soundtrack. Enjoy!
Just below is the latest and very beautiful music video from Michael Jackson's posthumous album titled XSCAPE, an album of previously unreleased Michael Jackson songs. The album was produced and curated by Epic Records Chairman and CEO L.A. Reid, who retooled the production to add a fresh, contemporary sound that retains Jackson's essence and integrity. It's a process Reid calls "contemporizing." The list of producers include global hitmakers Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, and John McClain.

Music Television is very pleased to share these music videos here for those who have not yet heard the trio known as London Grammar and songs from their debut album titled If You Wait.
The thing that is so impressive about this group is their lack of attempting to impress with anything other than the elegance of their music. The music is minimalist, yet rich. The group's vocalist, Hannah Reid, exudes a certain stillness, focus and control. Her voice is deliciously lush, which is all she needs as she simply stands in front of a microphone and delivers. Enjoy!

Back on September 8, 2012 our sister site MusicLoad.Com plugged Disclosure - Latch about a month before it was released, which Sam Smith was the featured vocalist on. Nearly two years later, that Disclosure song has still has legs and is presently in the Top 10 most searched songs on Shazam this week.
After a nice run of singing on other people's projects, Sam has ventured out on his own and it's pretty darned good! This song below is just one of his tracks titled Stay With Me off his upcoming album titled The Lonely Hour. It's a total rip off of Tom Petty's song I Won’t Back Down, but it's a undeniable hit.
The King of Pop lives on, as the executors for the Estate of Michael Jackson have dug into his archives of unreleased songs to bring Michael back to life through his latest album titled Xscape.
