"Meet Alex Clare, the voice behind 'Too Close"' (Internet Explorer 9 Song)



(Via USA Today)

"Close" to success: British singer/songwriter Alex Clare's faltering career was revitalized by an unlikely source —Internet Explorer. Clare is the voice of Microsoft's advertising campaign for Internet Explorer 9, which features his hit single Too Close, a melancholy ballad that fuses Clare's soul-tinged vocals with clattering percussion and a dubstep drop. Since the commercial's premiere in March, fans have flooded the Web searching for the mysterious singer behind the "Microsoft dubstep commercial."

...A "commercial" breakthrough: Clare's luck took a dramatic turn with one e-mail. "Last February, I got an e-mail from someone at Microsoft asking permission to use (the song). I said yes, not thinking much more of it. And then it turned into an international hit." In the weeks after the ad's premiere, Too Close sold more than 100,000 digital downloads and made its debut at No. 68 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. "I was sitting in a cinema and the commercial came on during the trailers," he says. "That's when I realized — wow, everyone's going to hear this song." Soon after, Universal Republic signed Clare to a distribution deal that brought Lateness to American audiences in May."

Who Knew? SYTYCD Allison and Twitch Has Been Dating For Two Years!


Update: Twitch Talks About His Marriage Proposal to "SYTYCD" Allison Holker

(Via Dance Spirit)

DS: So how is it even a debate who made the first move? Seems pretty clear that it was Allison!

tWitch: Here’s the thing: If I say hello and she doesn’t even respond…there were lots of those moments! I didn’t know how to read her. Plus, I’m terrible at those things. There will never be a day where I’m like, “Yeah, that girl was feelin’ me.”

Allison: I was nervous! So, anyway, when the Season 7 wrap party came, I knew it was the last night I would see him. I was like, “Geez, I guess I have to be stronger about my moves.” I hadn’t planned on going because I’m a mom and don’t really go out and party. But when he texted to see if I was going, I was ready and in the car! I showed up and people were trying to say hi, but I was on a mission to find this guy. I saw him at the other end of the room, and he pointed and did this little “come here” motion. We went upstairs and danced for three hours straight.

tWitch: We danced the entire night, and we’ve been together ever since.

True Blood Season 5, Episode 11 Song: Little Stevie Wonder "Sunset"

Sunset (Single Version - Mono)

So there I was watching the "Sunset" episode of True Blood as Russell Edgington was on his way to fairy-land, when the ending credits song boomed onto my speakers.

The wail of the singer was so soulful, I though it was sung by woman today singing like she was from the 1960's.

However, when I used my handy Shazam app to find out what this great new song was, I found out three things:

1.) The person singing wasn't woman singing. 2) It was really from the 1960's 3.) The singer was Stevie Wonder when he was a kid!!!!

Back in 1962, Stevie Wonder co-wrote "Sunset" on his tribute album Uncle Ray"(Charles).

As great as Stevie Wonder is, I sometimes forget how great he was before puberty hit!

New York Jets Tim Tebow in Jesus-Like Pose in GQ?


(VIA GQ)

"...Because Tebow is inspiring! He's got heart! He's a born leader of men! All he does is win! Right. I forgot. Here is where the cult of Tim Tebow departs from the world of measurable fact and enters the realm of religiosity, where every one of his accomplishments, no matter how modest—Oh, my goodness, he beat the deeply shitty Miami Dolphins!—gets transformed into evidence of divine Providence, simply because Tebow says it is. Never mind that 75 percent of all football players credit Jesus after every win. Tebow's devout Christianity is devoutier than yours. When he thanks Jesus, Jesus winks back.

This, really, is the root of my beef with Tebowmania: It has nothing to do with football. It's a sales pitch—a sensation built on evangelism, not ability, powered by people who see a chance to turn the NFL into the next front of the culture war. And now that culture war is coming to my team"

Audio: Police release Chad Johnson 911 Call


Update: Lozada files for divorce from Johnson: NEW YORK (AP) — Evelyn Lozada is ending her 41-day-old marriage to Chad Johnson after the football star was arrested for allegedly head-butting her over the weekend.
Here's the 911 call from Chad Johnson's alleged domestic assault against his wife, Evelyn Lozada, was released Monday.



When I heard had first got together with Evelyn from Basketball Wives, I didn't think it would end well, based solely on Ev's TV behavior of fighting and Chad's love of the ladies.

However,  I didn't think it would end in a domestic abuse case.

Sometimes when we get with someone, no matter if its a man or woman, we don't know their history; But if you do know their history, be warned.

 Its not that they can't change from their past behaviors, but will they?
