Jay-Z ended July ‘09 by rapping and rocking out at All Points West in Jersey City.

He represented Brooklyn by covering Beastie Boys No Sleep Till Brooklyn and followed it up with HOVA Brooklyn (We Go Hard). Were you there for it?

History repeats itself, that’s for sure. Music is a perfect example. Ever notice why a new song is so easily catchy? Maybe it’s because you’ve already heard it in the past. Who would have thought worldwide classics could be so ripped off. Are these songs “influenced” or just flat out plagiarized?

If You Don’t Know, Now You Know

With nearly two million views to her YouTube page, Kina Grannis is scurrying up the ladder of musical success. There’s not much to it, Kina, her guitar and the lens of a Mac. But then there’s the amazing voice, original songs, and before you know it it’s been an hour since you started watching her videos. Maybe it’s the hypnotizing quality of her music or her eternally youthful face but either way you can’t ignore Kina’s talent dubbed the 32nd most subscribed to musician on YouTube.

Below are some of our favorites.

The Thrill Is Gone…

Fans pay tribute to MJ at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. His first performance here (at just nine years old) in 1969 with his brothers as The Jackson 5 crowned them the winners of Amateur Night.

Thursday afternoon proved to be the loss of a legend, King of Pop, beloved MJ. Whatever you called Michael Jackson, one thing was sure, there was nobody else that could Beat It like him. I mean, even Billie Jean loved the man. No other artist has show stopped like Michael; and the stream of YouTube videos, news coverage, and the like aren’t letting us quickly forget the passing of our one-gloved icon. Though he only lived to 50 his music will definitely out live his most dedicated fans and ruthless critics. He moon walked his way right into our hearts like a Smooth Criminal.

Music for the Soul… and Feet

If you thought you knew what a one man show was, you don’t! Swedish singer Theresa Andersson is redefining everything about being a solo artist with her fancy foot work and gadgets producing the hottest new sound out there. Get this, she makes all her own music in the corner of her kitchen!

Theresa moved to New Orleans in 1990 with a band but is proving that her feet are the only band necessary. Well, that and these things called loop pedals to fabricate a track of sounds and vocals that makes you tilt your head to the side and slightly squint, secretly wish you were her, and wonder how she does it. In the mean time you’ll be tapping your own feet to her blissfully energetic music. Seriously. See for yourself.

Granted this chick has got it goin’ on, there is one major thing wrong with this picture. Where is her Cut & Sewn tee? We’ll see if she can wear one on her next video maybe in the living room, you know, one that could rock her socks off… oh wait, she’s not wearing any.

Remember VH-1’s Pop Up Videos?

One of the Cut Crew found a tube that brings a more insightful interpreted version to the music video. You know every word to this song, it’s my default Karaoke song, and now it’s time to watch the music video. Bonnie Tyler and her tactics entertain us for 5 minutes.

Do you remember our friend Matt Miller and the lovely band Graydon. We interviewed him way back here.

We remember them; their tunes make our hearts pitter patter as our frowns transform to smiles.

Anyway, they’re rolling through town tonight and tomorrow and you should probably go. Check the flyers:

See you there.
