Beezy Times!

It's been awhile! ... I always think of that random Britney song when I say that haha.

Anyways, sorrrrrry for not keeping you guys posted. The office has been buzzing with tons of new projects and updates. We're all officially busy worker bees with highly anticipated releases, tours, and projects up the ying yang, and we couldn't be more excited!

Speaking of bees, you can now preview Priscilla Renea's song "Mr Workabee" and 5 other song from her album here: http://priscillareneamusic.com/jukebox/ Put another dime (or in this case a quarter) in the Jukebox, baby! LoveSick is one of my all time favorites, but Dollhouse is still spinning in my head. The Dollhouse music video has been getting major airtime on MTV... she's now the featured 'Discover and Download' artist following in the footsteps of Paramore and other artists that have recently hit it huge. If you don't have it yet, get your FREE download of "Dollhouse" here: http://shar.es/1EgxO and remember, Jukebox - DECEMBER 1!

Speaking of December, The Decemberists debuted their Here Comes the Waves: Hazards of Love Visual show on Monday @ UCLA. The artistic video set to live performance can be previewed here:

They're also playing in Australia and New Zealand.

December is going to be a hot month with 30 Seconds to Mars dropping their album a week after Miss Renea. They've been amping fans up with their #NightoftheHunter scavenger hunts. Keep up to date with all 30S2M news by following @thisisthehive (wow, lots of beezness going on). Last Friday, 3 iPod shuffles with the 'Night of the Hunter' song already on it were secretly hidden all around LA, until the band spilled and twittered treasure maps with Xs placed in Burbank, The Queen Mary, and the Santa Monica Pier. Today, the hunt goes down in New York City. Drop your plans, get on twitter, and get a free ipod shuffle WITH Night of the Hunter already on it. You can't get this song anywhere else til the album hits stores.

Last week, the band also shot their video for "Kings and Queens." Rest assured, 30 Seconds to Mars never fails to come up with out of this world ideas. This time, they shut down the Santa Monica pier and streets in Hollywood for the biggest bike ride the West Coast has ever seen. Think Spain's Running of the Bulls, but with fans on bikes led by Jared Leto.... and not being chased. OK, bad reference, but you get the picture. haha Here's a few pics I took from my friend's Facebook =). They filmed all day and night...







And in case you didn't know, they've been giving away ONE GUITAR EVERYDAY THIS MONTH. 30 guitars in 30 days and to win, all you have to do is retweet. http://thirtysecondstomars.culturejam.com/twitter

In other news, balloon boy is still... nah i'm just kidding, but as for controversy, Lolene's music video is still the talk of the town. "Sexy People" is getting played in clubs and makes for a great dance jam and anthem. She's currently popping out at night clubs across the country so be sure to check out her dates on Myspace and hit the dance floor!

And soon enough, you'll taking over the floor with Katy Perry. She just started recording the new album last Wednesday, and word on the street is she's been in the studio with Weezer's own River Cuomo. You can read more about it here: http://www.mtv.ca/news/article.jhtml?id=21341

Also, Omarion paid us a visit yesterday... can't say much yet but you guys can look forward to a video from Jaicko. He'll be stopping by the tower on Monday. OHHHHHH YEAH!!! ;)

Ah the weekend is ALMOST here! I'm going to be a Monster x2 and grab some lunch at the EMI Cafe.. meanwhile, you should visit your local Hot Topic and pick up a copy of The Almost's new album... you'd be a monster not to! We just uploaded a brand spankin' new video to the street team site with footage from their music video shoot, so check that out!

Til next time...

33..32..31...

THIRTY!! The new 30 Seconds To Mars album isn't even out til December but we're all already feeling like Kings and Queens. This past weekend, and today, the band is SHUTTING DOWN streets all over Los Angeles. "Who's gonna run this town tonight?" ... the answer is Jared Leto and and all the Mars fans.

The bike crew assembled in Hollywood the other night as they shot footage for the "Kings and Queens" music video, and at about 4PM today, they'll be taking over the Santa Monica pier!

You guys are absolutely killin' the street display and share-this project!! Keep up the great work! We've got a very special treat for you 30 Seconds fans coming up.

The new Lolene music video for "Sexy People" is out TOMORROW (Tuesday) on MySpace!! Don't forget to check it out and have your own PDP (personal dance party). Then grab some friends and start a dance-off. The new dee-oh-double-gee (Snoop!) tracks are HOT! Drop it like

Music aside, the fall weather is finally kicking in, and we couldn't be more stoked. The office has been full of spook and haunt stories all thanks to "Paranormal Activity." Just the thought of it makes my hands tremble! Has anyone seen it? Luckily we're only possessed by infectiously good music.... at least we think... muahahahaha.

I think all this talk of ghosts and a possible creeeeeeeepy reality is starting to get to me. Staring out this window I see black birds circling the tower and dark clouds slowly creeping towards us.
Did you know the Hollywood sign is supposedly haunted by two ghosts? :shakes: October is making me lose my mind! Must be because Hockey's "Mind Chaos" album finally came out last Tuesday!! Pick up a copy if you haven't yet. It puts you in a much less scared mind set despite what monsters you may come across.

Speaking of monsters, The Almost rocked the crowd in Anaheim last Thursday and Cheli was there to see them perform tracks from "Monster, Monster." We can't wait for them to come back with the Used next month to get more of this--> Tweet us if you're going to any LA shows, we'd love to see you! Tomorrow night Jaicko's taking over the Club Nokia Theatre downtown, and Brad's going to see Moby on Wednesday night. It looks like non-stop touring for all EMI acts this Fall.

OH! I almost forgot, Happy Columbus day haha.

Peace out til Friday!

Check Our Brains !!

Busy bodies, busy week! Our team's been running around to some mind blowing shows this week... might need to check our brains... they've definitely been overloaded by the sights and sounds of our talented artists.

Last night Brad was lucky enough to see Joss Stone perform at the Jimmy Kimmel live show. She did an amazing job singing "Free Me." The show was full of color and soul


The new Alice In Chains album "Black Gives Way To Blue" was finally released on Tuesday! To celebrate, we're giving away $200 worth of gift cards!! For your chance to win simply go around to every online music store (iTunes, Best Buy, WalMart, Target, Friends or Enemies etc) you can think of and write a review for the album. But this is a limited offer only going til THIS SUNDAY! If you don't feel the urge to sign-up for the Alice Review project, check your brain haha. We want to hear what you have to say about this raging cd. Mark and Brad got to see them perform at the Avalon across the street on Wednesday night... saying their minds were blown is a huge understatement. They recently shot their video for "Check My Brain" and uploaded a Making of the Video on Youtube that's definitely worth checking out.

Now they're off to TX and will be taking over Europe in November.

Keith went to an epic show last night at the Gibson Amphitheatre put on by Ben Harper and Pearl Jam. The two acts started the show off together with Ben jamming on his guitar... a total face-melting experience! Never have they seen such a pumped up LA crowd. It's been quite a blast from the past kind of year with Depeche Mode, the Beatles, and more shaking up the music scene across the world.

AM TAXI is going to be rocking the Gramercy in New York this weekend along with Poison the Well and Billy Talent so if you're in the area, be sure to swing by!

Also, for all you Priscilla fans, DECEMBER 1 is the new date for you to burn into your brains. Jukebox will be out in time for the holidays so save time on your Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa etc shopping by pre-ordering the album now ;) Lolene also paid a visit to the tower this week... it ended with a cupcake haha! I even had one this morning for breakfast haha.

It can't get any better that so I'll end on that happy note. Check our twitter for a new video of A Fine Frenzy covering the White Stripes and performing songs off the new album.

Have a great week/end !
