Cal Henry’s Song of the Moment - #1

Here’s a song that you wouldn’t think is a nice, peppy, happy-feeling song by the title and subject matter - but it is!

Listen to this and tell me if you don’t feel like dancing, singing along or bobbing your head.

WARNING: this song contains language not suitable for all ages.

The song is called “F**k You” by Cee Lo Green and it’s my favorite song of the year so far!

FAQs with WD-HAN

CDs vs. iTunes?

This is a tough question, because there are definitely plus points to CDs and plus points to buying music online. One great thing about iTunes is that it practically saved the music industry by allowing everyone to buy music online at a very low price. It’s much more ethical than sites created to steal music from artists who worked extremely hard to create it in the first place. Without iTunes coming up with a solution there was no exchange and everyone was unhappy.

When you absolutely can’t wait for the music I can understand and recommend buying online, like I did with Third Eye Blind's album “Out of the Vein” and Mark Knopfler's “The Ragpicker’s Dream”. (Both great albums by the way!)

Now, there’s also something about going to the store and buying a CD from a band you love, going home and playing it loud! Reading the lyrics, notes from the band, looking at the pictures, etc. That’s the one downside to iTunes and buying music online. I know you can buy the album and get the liner notes that way (but you can’t get them with every album for some reason) but I personally like having the physical copy of the album.

All in all, I love that I can go to the store and buy the album and I love that I can buy it at home or wherever I am with my computer.

Which do you prefer?

Thanks Claudia for this awesome shot from last Friday!!!

Behind the scenes of our appearance on NBC's Daytime!

WD-HAN on National TV!!!

That's right, WD-HAN was asked to perform a song from our EP acoustically on the Nationally Syndicated TV show, "Daytime".
This morning we traveled out to Tampa to the NBC studios, where we donned the TV make-up and rocked a rendition of "Color of Friend", which was followed by a short interview. We all had an AMAZING time and we're excited to see the show!
Things all dovetailed very nicely with our "Tunes for 10,000" campaign, (don't forget to like our page! http://facebook.com/wdhanmusic) as we played acoustically. We're so honored to have been on the show and thanks to Jason, Victoria and Deanna and the rest of the crew on set! You're all the best!!!

Our segment will be airing on the Daytime show on Thursday, September 16 at 10am for Tampa Bay. Below this post is a guide with the channels and times for other areas.

Don't forget to tune in or set your Tivos!!!

Rock on,
WD-HAN

The Future of the Music Video

Arcade Fire recently launched TheWildernessDowntown.com. If you haven’t seen it: go do so. This brilliant concept and collaboration with Google is a revolutionary step for the music video as we know it.

What makes something revolutionary? A revolution is “a drastic and far reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving.” What Arcade Fire, Google and Chris Milk have done is to bring the viewer inside the video itself. This is drastic. But a revolution is not just about being drastic, this video is far reaching in every sense. What does this bring about for the future? This creates ideas, technology and inspiration for later videos. It sets the bar to a whole new level 

Though I’m going on and on about Arcade Fire’s concept - it is not the first jump into augmented reality videos. I’m talking of course about John Mayer’s “Heartbreak Warfare” video. Seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZtRHVMcZjI

Per it’s own description on the video: Flash Augmented Reality (FLAR) is a way of creating a digital hologram in 3D space by holding up a marker to your computer's camera and activating a special piece of Flash software. As you can see in this video, I'm holding up a piece of paper with the designated marker (in this case a broken heart), and the video of John Mayer follows it around the screen, and even tilts in 3D space!

People have the ability to come up with so many ideas from these forward leaps, i.e. What if you had to put a picture of yourself in the video, and the singer was singing to YOU? What if you were to design the space the artists were actually performing in?

What steps would you like to see in music videos? How would you feel most involved?

Let us know!

Into the Blue Acoustic!

Cal's Favorite Guitar Album(s) of the Moment #2!

Hello again everyone! Here's the second of many of my favorite guitar albums:

This one is by a bluesman who's been around since the 80's. I only just started listening to his music after I heard a cover of the song "Back Door Slam" on youtube. It just so happens to be one of the greatest blues songs of all time. No lie. Pure truth. After hearing it-, I was hooked.

This guy even has his own Fender Signature Series Strat! And rightly so! After you hear this album, you'll agree too. :)

The album is: The Robert Cray Band / Live from Across the Pond. Track listing is: Phone Booth, Poor Johnny, Our Last Time, Right Next Door (Because of Me), 12 Year Old Boy,  I Guess I Showed Her, The Things You Do to Me, I Was Warned, Twenty, Bad Influence, The One in the Middle, Back Door Slam, Time Makes Two and I'm Walkin'.

This two-disc collection shows Cray at his best at the Royal Albert Hall in 2005.

My faves are: Phone Booth (when he starts his second solo, stops and says "It's freezin' out here" and then continues soloing - wow!), Poor Johnny, (of course) Right Next Door (Because of Me), 12 Year Old Boy, Back Door Slam (one of my favorite blues songs) and I'm Walkin' (a fantastic song to end the CD with).

There you go, enjoy! Play it loud when you're driving, when you're at your house, everywhere!

Until next time,

Cal

The Faces of WD-Han

"Local Band WD-Han Releases First Album"

Tampa Bay rock band WD-Han (which stands for “We Don’t Have A Name”) released their album Class Project Earth to a full house at Pangea Café in Downtown Clearwater on December 4th.

WD-Han's Class Project Earth gives a more extended look into the bands music. The songs have a place for everyone as they're a solid mix of a great set of genres. From rock to classic rock, blues to funk this album is a roller coaster of sound, emotion and communication.

An acoustic act with Steve Valtin and Jessica Greenwood opened the show at Pangea and set the atmosphere and by the time they ended, everyone was ready for the band who "doesn't have a name." With nearly 90 people at the show, the professionalism and enthusiasm was a refreshing look at what live music should be.

WD-Han played a full hour of originals, covers (Jet, Jimi Hendrix and Third Eye Blind to name a few) and even combinations of both. They were interactive with the audience, telling jokes on top of playing great music.
