So Zach over at We Listen For You has been talking about making the latest video for Louisville’s Electro-Pop-Rockers The Pass for a few weeks now and how insane it was to make.
Well today he dropped it and it’s fucking awesome, but maybe that’s just because I have a vested interest in it (not because LBYB is featured but because I follow most of the sites in it). He had a dream where he showed up for a party but everyone there was a real-life-take on a music blog or site, and so he made it into The Pass’ latest music video.
He’s also turned it into a contest whereby if you can guess the more than 30 blogs and sites featured in the video you’ll win a $50 gift certificate to Insound as well as a CD of The Pass’ debut album “Burst”. Personally I’m up to 22 (I think correct) guesses, but check it out below and read what Zach has to say about it.
Oh, and the song is fucking tight too!
A few weeks ago the up and coming Louisville electro pop band The Pass told me their idea to create a found footage or unofficial video for each of their songs to act as way for people to stream their new album BURST (out Sept 21st). Instead of going on myspace and streaming the album, you would go to youtube and be able to watch eleven videos and hear the entire album (see the first track video stream HERE).
I immediately told them I wanted to take a crazy dream I had and put it into moving images. The dream consisted of me showing up at a crazy party to find that all the people are life like takes on the names of music blogs. As you know, there are a lot of clever names for music blogs and the goal of the video was to transform the name of music blogs into human/prop representations. An example of this would be the music blog “I Guess I’m Floating”…you would see a guy floating and then shrug with indifference.
To make this even more fun, I’m holding a contest to see who can identify the most music blog/music site references. We managed to reference over thirty sites. To prevent people from listing every blog they know, if you guess a blog that isn’t featured in the video you get –1 points….one right you get +1. The person with the most points win. E-mail to answers to guesstheblogs@gmail.com. Please don’t use the comment box to guess…they will not count.
The winner will receive a 50 dollar gift certificate to Insound and a cd copy of The Pass debut BURST. If someone manages to get a perfect score, I might throw in something extra. This was a lot of fun to make and I hope you have as much fun watching what has to be one of the craziest house parties ever.
