Rachel Brown – Building Castles EP

November 1, 2012 Published by

“As little girls, we live in a world of fairy tales and the idea that prince charming is just around the corner.  As teenagers, romantic comedies are the game plan for what adulthood will be like; a cool job in New York, Ryan Reynolds and getting married after a whirlwind of ups and downs. But alas , those Disneyesque stories are stuck in the back of your mind and albums like Rachel Brown’s Building Castles is in the background as you sit and contemplate relationships and everything they encompass, the highs and the lows … ” read entire Golden Mixtape review

Bermuda’s New Pitch Is Short: ‘So Much More’

The goal is explicit in the theme of a campaign on behalf of the Bermuda Department of Tourism: “So much more.” The campaign, now under way, plays up cultural and culinary attractions and diversions like scuba diving and golf along with mainstays like the pink sand beaches and Bermuda’s proximity to the East Coast. Read the full article here

@Chewsticks #Bermuda Music Videos

July 30, 2012 Published by

Music Videos used to be the stuff of legend; a privilege reserved purely for top shelf artists that are generating so much revenue from their record sales that they can splurge on a video of their music, not only for the promotional purposes that videos provide but also for the opportunity to visually depict the music they are creating. I remember like it was yesterday when everyone held their breath around the world for the unveiling of “BAD” by Michael Jackson on network TV. It seemed like everyone was watching this rapidly expanding, opulent medium. Music videos were excess and exclusively for the best of the best, who routinely built up the prestige around the genre by increasingly getting more technical, Hollywood directors, huge budgets, elite models, actors etc. making it nigh impossible for normal folk and artists to ever entertain making a music video for real. Until now .. Gavin Djata Smith
