Hi! How are you guys doing? I have not been blogging for a long time as you can tell as I was recovering from very extreme side effects of trying to quit smoking ( I have stopped for 7 days now, and I still have the withdrawals) and loads of pending paperwork and media planning. Seriously. More things are piling up and I really think that I should chill for a moment to ease my brains…So to start things slow, I am just going to share some videos that I amused me over the past few days:

The Air Guitarist:

Check out the Hello Kitty breast plate and the pants, was he really tearing it up or was he scratching his…well you get the idea.

Now check out this one, a classic Indonesian Dangdut song:

The hair and the pants are mindblowing!

But the winner of my weekly brains blender video award goes to:

Please…Just check out the lyrics!

So now we know where Michael Jackson ripped the song from!

Must…Not…Think…of….Cigarettes….

GigaOm reported that Youtube will go mobile in June 2007, one the exclusivity clause on the company’s mobile video deal with Verizon Wireless expires. The service will be available for European users in May. Youtube has already been working closely with mobile carriers and Nokia in providing 800 “editorial picks” videos. The end goal would be a true mobile access to Youtube’s gargantuan video catalog.

This move will open up updated video streaming and other endless possibilities.

I see this as a great potential for artists to promote their work and content and would definitely have a wider audience once youtube is “mobilized”. I can definitely foresee active mobile content and artist advertising and promotion activities in the very near future. Perhaps, strategic brand partnerships between record labels and big brands would be a reality. I also think that it could well be a great marketing tool for record companies and new artists to test their product to the masses. However, it is yet to be implemented and effects of this move is yet to be observed. I would definitely be one of them…

I received a teaser trailer of Dj Altimet’s latest hot track featuring Mawar Berduri of Ahli Fiqr a few days ago. Dj Altimet will be my small project in promoting his content via mobile. I just uploaded his content Via Maxis a few days ago and Lo and Behold! his track has already charted no. 17 in the local Malay radio chart. This might be a great beginning for him, as downloads of his content is beginning to soar. I believe that the new business model via mobile networks might just work in Malaysia. I am hoping that I might get new artists to be marketed this way, in the meantime, I am following the mobile trends closely to see how far is this idea achievable. The only setback I have is pending download reports from the Telcos, which will be very hard for me to do market forecasts, nevertheless, I am trying to push advertising and promotions for Altimet via Maxis, and lets just see if I can really pull this one off…Wish me luck!

Oh by the way, enjoy the teaser video!
