Ted Poley, 'Breathe' -- New Video

Wait, Ted Poley made a video for a cover of a Michelle Branch song? A few years ago, Michelle had a big hit with “Breathe.” Now Ted Poley has his own version of the tune... and a real music video to boot! Turns out the video is actually pretty darn cute. It's clear this was made all in good fun and I can't dispute Ted's voice. Even on a weak pop song, Ted sounds good. Also, there's a cool side note: Michelle wrote “Breathe” with John Shanks. That's the same guy rumored to be working on the new Van Halen record. At any rate, watch the new clip for “Breathe...” and check out the full credits at the end, too.

If you are wondering, you can buy Ted's version of “Breathe” on iTunes.

Rediscovering L.A. Guns 'Over the Edge'

I had completely forgotten about the L.A. Guns song "Over the Edge." The song came on Hair Nation yesterday. I kept listening and even asked the Glam husband, "Wasn't this in a movie?" (It's a song that just sounds cinematic). He shrugged and I made a mental note to Google when I got home.

Turns out, "Over the Edge" was used in the movie Point Break, and therefore "Over the Edge" is on the official soundtrack, along with RATT, Little Caesar, Shark Island and more. Now, would you believe I've never seen Point Break? I suppose I should add it to my Netflix queue, right?

Anyway, back to "Over the Edge." I guess I'd forgotten about the song because, well, every song on Hollywood Vampires is basically forgotten, right? The 1991 album is underrated and under appreciated. Bottom line: rediscovering "Over the Edge" was a pleasant surprise.

Happy July 4th 2011!

Happy Independence Day, American Glam lovers. July 4th is a great holiday that usually means sun and fun. I don't have any concert plans today, but I will be going to an amusement park and may take in some fireworks as well. I'm also very grateful for the day off of work.

As I continue my three-day weekend of relaxation and fun, I want to direct you to this hilarious video I ran across last night: a baby named Jonah rocking out to Pantera. Now, those who know me will realize this is monumental: I am not a kid person. I don't dislike children, but I don't want any of my own and I certainly never fawn over kids, so it is rare anything kid related even amuses me. That said, this clip was just too funny not to share.

Anvil, Helix to Play Sweden Rock Cruise

If you've got a lot of cash to drop for 23 hours at sea, you might consider the Sweden Rock Cruise. The cruise sails October 6th from Stockholm, Sweden, makes a stop in Finland and returns to Stockholm on the 7th. Anvil and a reunited Helix are confirmed for the cruise and four more band announcements are forthcoming. I'm not quite sure why the Sweden Rock Cruise is always just one night. Seems to me the cruise could easily be expanded to at least three nights, but I digress. I'm sure the event is fun regardless.

Book here if interested.
