http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/ Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:39:11 -0800 Yahoo! http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/3103/jonas-brothers-framed/ Are they the hottest group in groupdom? We'd have to say so... New Jersey's Jonas Brothers hit #1 on the Billboard chart with their new album, A Little Bit Longer. Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:39:11 -0800 John Kordosh http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/3098/europe-framed/ This week we honor Europe, a mid-'80s hair metal band that--to our mind--recorded the definitive metal song and video with "The Final Countdown," a stupendous, some would say bombastic, song/keyboard riff that should be your ring tone right now! Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:34:04 -0800 John Kordosh http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/3078/men-without-hats-framed/ This week's featured artists, Men Without Hats, a Canadian group with an ever-changing lineup, belonged to a different group of New Wavers... what can best be described as the heavily-synthesized side of New Wave. Mon, 18 Aug 2008 19:41:42 -0800 John Kordosh http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/3002/mariah-carey-framed/ This week's video is "Bye Bye," from E =MC2, which is sitting on top of Y! Music's Top 100 Video Chart even as we write this. The vid appears to be a homage to Mariah's (now-deceased) father, although she has said she hoped "Everybody could kind of be healed by the song and have their own experience listening to it." Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:07:06 -0800 John Kordosh http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/2930/natalie-grant-framed/ This week's video is probably the most disturbing to ever appear in Framed. Even though it's the work of Christian songstress Natalie Grant, the storyline--which involves the deaths of several characters, some of them children--may upset younger readers. Parents, take note! Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:54:34 -0800 John Kordosh http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/2856/alicia-keys-framed/ Alicia Keys' biography almost reads like fiction. Ms. Keys, it would seem, was born to succeed, and she's kept on doing so. To date, she's sold over 30 million records and has won 11 Grammys. And so it is that Framed is quite happy to feature her video for "Teenage Love Affair" off of her 2007 LP, As I Am, an album that sold over a million copies in its first two weeks of release. Mon, 28 Jul 2008 18:34:05 -0800 John Kordosh http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/2683/miley-cyrus-framed/ Miley is a flat-out phenomenon these days, and this week’s video, “7 Things,” is from her second studio LP, Breakout. She lists seven things she hates--and then seven things she likes--about her ex-boyfriend. Rumor has it that the song’s about Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. Sat, 19 Jul 2008 00:11:02 -0800 John Kordosh http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/2665/skid-row-framed/ If you really think about it, Skid Row was one of the most exciting bands of the era in which heavy metal dominated our thoughts and dreams. But, just then, something happened. And that “something” spelled the end of one of the greatest eras music has ever known. Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:57:44 -0800 John Kordosh http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/2615/cute-is-what-we-aim-for-framed/ CiWWAF hail from Buffalo, NY, and have just released their second LP, Rotation. This week’s video “Practice Makes Perfect,” is from the new album, and it tells the story of a guy--lead singer Shaant Hacikyan--who ends up making time with a hot babe at a party. Mon, 07 Jul 2008 19:39:46 -0800 John Kordosh http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/2597/weezer-framed/ This week, we’re giving you a twofer of sorts--a Weezer Framed, but also a “Happy Days” Framed. The reason, of course, is their justly-famous video for “Buddy Holly,” off their first album, Weezer. Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:34:14 -0800 John Kordosh
