Quween of the Scene: Homeless b-list celebrity bodyguard

A couple of weeks ago, the ever-so-cute American Idol runner-up Katherine McPhee was minding her own business, walking down the streets of L.A. when she was swarmed by the paparazzi. Then … all of a sudden … an angry, seemingly homeless woman swooped in to save her:

An awesome moment in and of itself.

But then this happened:

I’ve had relationships like this

Man, I love Robyn so much. This track — by Royskopp featuring Robyn — is a great song to hold me over until she starts working on new material.

If this thing works as advertised, get prepared for the Internet to change all over again à la Google.

That’s How You Let the Beat Build

Nyle “Let The Beat Build” from Nyle on Vimeo.

This video was filmed in one take, with audio being recorded simultaneously with the film. The video features Nyle (www.nyleraps.com) and is produced by Last Pictures (www.last-pictures.com) and 194 Recordings (www.myspace.com/194recordings).

I love the effect this technique has on the final product. It feels live and slightly raw, but still well-produced. Favorite line: And I don’t need a sample. Got a girl with a banjo.
