One of my favourite bands took to the stage last night in England with the song that spun me onto them – Kasabian. They played Fire at the Brit Awards 2010 show. First time I’ve seen the band play with a full Horn section, and the usual group of backing singers. There were however, mixed reactions regarding the pyro work…With a song called Fire…It was nice to see …fire on the stage…but could they have added a bit more? …Watch it below…

If you live in Canada…and have watched any of the olympics on CTV…I know you’ve heard this song….The song has been written for CTV and while having had a music video created (below), has also been transformed to the melody on all CTV olympic commercial spots, their sportscasts of the events, and within ceremony presentations (Was part of the opening ceremony…maybe also part of the closing ceremony in a few weeks?)  … Its interesting because having only heard the song since Friday evening, As soon as I hear the melody on any of these spots…I’m instantly associating it with the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics on CTV…Neat example how powerful even audio can be with your brand…

Google’s been notorious lately in the world of the web and media for it’s rather creative product video’s/commercials.  There was for example, the latest Google Chrome Video,  The video for Google buzz,  but the newest, in time for the SuperBowl, was this neat little spot, that I thought I’d Share…It’s a bit different…It’s a product walk through…(about google.com) without actually seeming like “here’s what it can do for you” …   It’s more of a small love story, and how google helped it progress…Worth a peak!

I find what Richard Branson has done with Virgin to be quite remarkable.  It’s an incredible company with fantastic values & corporate culture.

Virgin’s next move is in regards to a survey they’ve done in Canada and found a surprising amount of Canadians aren’t celebrating Valentines day,  so they’re going out in full force to spread the love.   Looks like if we follow their social feeds like twitter and facebook,  anyone (customer or not) … can try and catch up with the Virgin Angels for some lovin’ …

The Stereophonics have long been one of my favourite bands to follow on Twitter.  Heck, to be honest, they ARE my favourite to follow on twitter.   They’ve just embarked on Tour, and already in the past 2 days there’ve been almost a dozen tweets.  Each tweet is a message, and a picture … so far, from drinks,  gig prep,  on the road,  and food/pit stops… Just stellar.
