Video of the Day: “Trying to Stop Your Leaving”

I’m going to start a new thing here where I try to post a video a day that I think people should watch and listen to. Whether you listen to the type of music in question or just like watching music videos for the videography and aesthetic aspects, give it a shot.

Dierks Bentley - “Trying to Stop Your Leaving”

Comments? Thoughts? Let me know what you think about this idea and this video!

Billboard Review: “Unbreakable”

From Billboard.com and it looks good

While the turn of phrase may be cliché, the overall sound of “Unbreakable” screams it loud and clear: Backstreet’s back. Unlike 2005’s uneven “comeback” album “Never Gone,” its follow-up finds the Boys dipping into their old bag of classic pop songs. They are a boy band with spot-on harmonies: They sing huge, hooky choruses; belt out sappy bridges (”I’m a house of cards in a hurricane,” the group wails on “Helpless When She Smiles”); and bop and groove to slickly produced dance numbers. Nearly everything here is top 40 or AC radio-ready, particularly the piano-driven first single, “Inconsolable,” and the Beatles-y “Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon.” The boy band heyday might be long over and the group is now a man down (Kevin Richardson departed to pursue other interests), but Backstreet’s ready to try and melt your heart once again. —Jill Menze

The “Wet” Drowning video

Remember the pictures on the right? Well the single CD cover for “Drowning” were pictures shot from the original video shoot where they wore leather and were… wet.

Nick’s newly freshed pierced ears. AJ freshly out of rehab. Kevin’s long, stringy hair… Howie… being Howie.

The video never made it to light, Jive paid video director Nigel Dick to redo the video and the original was never seen.

Until now….. (more…)
