Earth Hour

Earth Hour all started back in 2007 in Australia, when the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund) had a great idea of shutting all of the main light sources for 1 hour. All this was to bring awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.

This got a lot of attention last year and more than 420 cities participated. These also included major buildings around the world such as: Empire State Building (New York City), Sears Tower (Chicago), Golden Gate Bridge (San Francisco), Bank of America Plaza (Atlanta), and Sydney Opera House (Sydney, Australia). But the list goes on.  And the week leading up to Earth Hour, the website: http://www.earthhour.org/ had over 6.7 million hits.

Including me, 50 million people participated in this event in 2008. And you can bet that i will be doing it again this year. I have signed up on earthhour.org and I'm trying to get the word out before March 28Th. I have emailed the mayor of my city asking him to please read about this event and to see if we (the city) can participate.

But please make sure to get involved in these event, get people, business, and your mayor to shut there lights off for only one hour. This hour can do so many things for everyone around the world.

So make sure you shut all of your lights out at 8:30pm (your local time) on March 28Th.

Hyper Crush

By the looks of it, Hyper Crush is right out of the 80's. But they arnt, they formed in 2006 with just Donnie Fontaine, and DJ/Ketarist Preston Meronie. But they needed a female vocalist, so they brought in there longtime friend Holly Valentine. They are most famous for there 50's and 80's look. They started off just playing at local places in Los Angeles and grew very popular with there myspace ( http://tinyurl.com/bs9xf5 ). On August 31, 2007 they released there first self-released album titled: Mixtape Volume 1. Then in May of 2008, Hyper Crush released The Arcade. But the video wasn't posted on there YouTube ( http://tinyurl.com/bhllcz ) until July 4th and since then the video has received more then 150,000 views. In November Hyper Crush signed with Universal Motown and plan on dropping an album sometime this year.

Personal I have never really liked this type of music; whether it be techno, hip hop, or rap. But with Hyper Crush its totally different. Every time i listen to there songs, I can never put my finger on what type of music this would be called. All I know is that all there songs are very unique and I'm 100% sure that you cant find any other band/songs like Hyper Crush.
