Nhojj - Forget The Regret

“Forget the Regret” is a fun Sunshine Pop/Vintage Motown Soul inspired meditation on being kinder to yourself and forgiving yourself for your past mistakes. Its so easy to fall into a groove of ‘beating up on yourself’ with seemingly innocent phrases like… “I should have…” “I wish I had…” “if only I was…” “I am always…” these phrases and their comrades usually do you no service. I hope this little song helps you step out of that groove and begin to see yourself in new ways that involve more phrases like… “I’m glad I…” “I’m happy I…” “I’m thankful for…” “I do my best when I…” This kind of self talk opens your heart to receive the blessings you have been waiting for.

Tom Goss - Make Believe

Available on iTunes

No man is an island. Unless he's Tom Goss. In a new music video for Goss's song "Make Believe," the DC-based singer-songwriter's body is transformed into an island paradise on which an animated duo have an imagination-filled adventure amidst monsters, a dragon, a volcano and a bear-piloted airplane. The human time-lapse video features a (discreetly) naked Goss lying perfectly still on his back while nationally renowned painter Scott G. Brooks transforms his body into a tropical landscape lush with vines and flowers. All the while, a shipwrecked character and his local guide invent a series of playful games while escaping the dangers lurking around this most unusual Isle of Man. The video, Goss's fifth, was shot in one 80-minute take, with help from ten off-camera puppeteers. Each second of video time took 28 seconds to film; a clock over Goss's naughty bits tracks the real time. In addition to painting Goss, Brooks also drew 159 different versions of the main characters, a clumsy circle and a trickster triangle, which come to life via time-lapse. Another nationally known DC artist, Dave Peterson, created the dragon, sea monsters, and flying bear. The video was directed by Aram Vartian and Michael Key.

Robert Urban - The Land Of Smiles

“The Land of Smiles” – instrumental pop prelude for electric guitar by Robert Urban. R. Urban – electric guitars, keys, percussion

Recorded, mixed & produced by R. Urban at URBAN PRODUCTIONS, NYC
Inspired by a musical pattern by Steven Sullivan.
“The Land of Smiles” copyright © 2012 R. Urban and S. Sullivan

Bassist Steven Sullivan had come up with a little arpeggiated, repeating chord pattern – basically a back-and-forth between E Major to E minor –which I used as background accompaniment for the piece’s main melodic theme.

The title refers to the East Asian
custom of smiling, whatever happens in life. Thailand is known as
“the land of smiles” because Thai people smile a lot. They possess a wide
range of different kinds of "smiles," (13 to be exact), called "yim" in Thai.
Most of these “Thai smiles” actually indicate feelings other than happiness.

For “The Land of Smiles”, I drew on influences from Jeff Beck and Robert Fripp; but even more so from Randy California of SPIRIT.
His mastery of tone and “infinite sustain” on classic SPIRIT tracks
such as “Mechanical World”, “Dark Eyed Woman” and “Fresh Garbage” so inspired me in my teens.

The guitar used on this piece is a 1980 Ibanez Strat made for Roland. I recorded the basic bass, keys & drums, as well as the lead guitar
in “The Land of Smiles” many years ago on a Revox two track tape recorder. The second lead guitar and all new percussion were added this year.

Michael Hensley "Heart Mechanical" Official Video

Two toy robots fall in love in the music video for "Heart Mechanical," the title track to Michael Hensley's 2012 "Heart Mechanical" EP. Directed by Syuji Honda of Pure Soul Productions. Beating heart animation by Kip Lyall. "Heart Mechanical" is available on iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, and most digital retailers. I personally donate $1 for every EP sold to the Trevor Project, a leader in crisis intervention and suicide prevention for LGBT youth.
