Show your True Colours and Stop Bullying

I am sure you're aware that bullying has become a very big issue, especially now with cyber bullying.

It is very sad to see that people are taking their own lives due to being bullied. An interesting fact - Think of seven people you know, and at least one of them had been bullied, or is a bully.

We should all work together, take a stand and make a difference. One way to do so is through the Kids Help Phone. Also, check out what some of Canada's biggest stars (Simple Plan, Hedley, Lights, FeFe Dobson, Kardinal Offishall, Alyssa Reid, and Walk Off the Earth) are doing - they recorded a new version of the song "True Colors". Download the song on itunes now and 100% of the net proceeds go to Kids Help Phone. For more info about the Show your True Colors campaign, click here.

You can also show your support with a True Colors T-Shirt. BlueNotes has partnered with True Colors, it's only $10 and once again, all proceeds got to Kids Help Phone. You can pick one up online or at the store.

Let's do this - together we can shine the spotlight on bullying and work to overcome this global issue.

You got the 'Gangnam Style'?

So, I heard this song on the radio a couple days ago - at first, I didn't even know that it wasn't fully an English song. And now, it's like the biggest thing! The song and it's dance moves!

It is definitely a catchy song! (LMFAO style-ish) It is by a South Korean rapper named PSY. The song came out back in July and became a smash hit on YouTube, racking up more than 110 million views. PSY recently signed a deal with Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber's manager.

He's so popular, he recently made an appearance on both the MTV Music Video Awards and the Ellen Degeneres show. On Ellen he even showed Britney Spears the popular dance moves. Check out the video below. "Dress classy and dance cheesy" lol

So, what does 'Gangnam Style' means? I did a little researching. It's a Korean language that refers to a luxurious lifestyle associated with the 'Gangnam district', a trendy area of Seoul. The song is about "the perfect girlfriend who knows when to be refined and when to get wild."

Great song, nice beats and cool moves! Giddy-up, you got the Gangnam style? : )

Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" Viral-Videos

I'm sure you all heard and probably know the words to Carly Rae Jepsen' hit song "Call me Maybe". I've got to admit - I like this song : )

Her song had sparked many viral-videos, from president Obama to the most recent one, Cookie Monster from Sesame Street called Share it Maybe.

I hope her other songs will be just as popular and that she won't be those 'one hit wonder' artist. However, with Justin Bieber's people behind her, I think she will do just fine.

Check out the original video here, and some of my favourite videos the song has launched. Which one's your favourite? Please share and let me know in comment below.

Enjoy! I apologize if the songs get stuck in your head after viewing : )

                                           Original Video - a surprising and funny ending : )

                                           Sesame Street - 'Share it Maybe'

                                          The Harvard Baseball Team

                                          Barack Obama Singing Call Me Maybe

 I think this was the one that started it all - featuring Justin Beiber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale and Friends

Monster X Diesel Headphones

I am a big fan of Diesel.  Their latest venture definitely got my attention.

What an interesting match-up indeed - Diesel collaborating with Monster Cable on a Vektr On-Ear Headphones! You might heard of Beats by Dr. Dre who was working with Monster Cable (which was how I first learned about Monster Cable), but recently announced that they did not renew their contract with them, ending a 5 year partnership.

Check out this headphone's description: The Vekr On-Ear Headphones were designed to be super-light, easy to carry, and offer a "scientifically-backed assault on your senses." It's triangular High-Def cable offers you a tangle-free and ultra-clear music experience while its sharp faceted look and range of finishes, including rubber and matte, give these headphones a truly distinctive look. The Vektr's also collapse to fit within a touring case and feature ControlTalk Universal hands-free control of your music and phone calls.

WOW! Don't you agree - this is a serious headphone!! What do you guys think?

You can purchase it online, and it comes with a big price tag of $279.99!!

Very nice shape/design - I like.


Love the detailing - the Diesel Mohawk logo - very nice!
