2012 was a great year for music. In tribute to those who’ve provided us with such sonic pleasures, LBB put together a little gift to make the transition into 2013 a little easier.

Out in the streets, people are doing more than shopping for new clothes and furniture. History has shown that democracy in action isn’t always pretty. Many are now realising that their democratic rights can’t be fought from the comfort of the living room sofa.
If there were a soundtrack to ‘conscientious uprising’, Africa Hitech’s ‘Out In The Streets’ would be it. At twenty%extra™ we created our own version of the video in response to the poignant chorus, which could literally be a soundtrack of our times.
Stones Throw are marketing geniuses. The Stones Throw Video Contest which launched back in April and ends today is proof of that.
Such is the nature of genius that it attracts, well, genius. Enter Samuel Craven with a final day entry that’s already got the attention of Mr Perkins himself.
Sam’s video for Flowers provides all the essential ingredients for a summer video: it’s beautiful, calming and uplifting and works in perfect harmony with the track. Sure I’m biased but it deserves your vote, or at least a play or two.

Earlier this month we jumped on board the Virgin Media Pioneers – Spark Your Ideas tour.
We were delighted to be invited to take part and run the branding sessions for the VMP young entrepreneurs. The tour also includes business case studies from Virgin Media as well as inspirational talks from seasoned entrepreneurs such as Lara Morgan: founder of Pacific Direct and Start-Up Britain.
The tour started in London and will visit Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield and Edinburgh. The only question now is whether we will be travelling on Virgin Trains…

Music through the back door is about to take over the high street.
Two of our family-favs combine as Rhythm Response (formerly known as Demon Sounds) provide cutting edge tuneage for cutting edge programming.
Phil Bowker’s already cult comedy PhoneShop begins tonight on E4. For the eager beavers, the show has been available to watch for a couple of weeks on 4oD, with a sign-up process the only caveat.
When it comes to understanding the demographic make-up of such cutting edge programming, data capture like this is essential when trying to learn more about those learned early adopters.
Not to say I fall into that category, but I’ve already caught my initial slice of the pie. The verdict: a bright PhoneShop future starts today.

Simply put, this is one of the strongest, most poignant music videos you’ll ever watch.In fact to call it just a music video does it a disservice, but if you want something to do with 9mins 40seconds of your time, you could do no better than watching this.
