You have to see this my fellow headphone extremists, a teaser video that features the latest music accessory from Philips that promised an ear-blowing audio experience. Its part of the campaign in cooperation with Noisey which has the main tasks of exploring innovations in sound.
I'm a little skeptic about this knowing Philips who have not been to active in the earphone business for quite sometime, but anyways, as the teaser video promotes, lets try this!
The royalty of pop sultriness, Katy Perry, meets a jungle aristocrat, tiger, and the king of cameraphones, the Nokia Lumia 1020, in the official music video of Roar, the singers latest single.
Nokia had been collaborating with artists before for product placement in music videos but of all they have done, this video was by far the most suited, lyrics and theme wise. Like what was depicted in the video, Katy Perry was lost in the jungle after a plane crash, more like Nokia lost in the wilderness of smartphone race, then learning, adjusting and suiting her way through the harsh condition, like Nokia again, and finally being reborn to Roar loudly to take its rightful place on top.
Their is no doubt that the Nokia Lumia 1020 is the beast among all the current smartphone breeds with its hardware and software features. Just a quick rundown, it has the second generation 41 megapixel sensor with a reinvented zoom technology, enabling users to discover more detail than the eye can see; Nokia’s innovative PureView technology, including optical image stabilization; Carl Zeiss optics with six physical lenses that delivers a crystal clear pictures even in low light conditions; the next generation of Xenon Flash that produces bright images at night; new generation of Optical Image Stabilization (IOS) technology that uses state-of-the-art ball bearings into the camera module capturing blur free images and videos even at night.
It also have Nokia Rich Recording technology that captures a stereo sound even at the loudest concerts handling sound pressure levels six times louder than conventional smartphone microphones; Nokia Pro Camera App that is capable of making the experience easy for anyone to take professional quality images; dual capture that simultaneously takes a high resolution 38 megapixel image for endless editing opportunities, and creates a 5 megapixel picture that is easy to share to social networks with Windows Phone 8; 2.5D sculpted glass Gorilla 3 Glass giving a superior touch sensitivity and durability; Hipstamatic showcased Oggl PRO, an exclusive application for the Nokia Lumia 1020 offering the most advanced smartphone camera controls for their creative community; LiveSight for HERE Maps that helps people see what's around them and discover new places to take photos; and so much more, taking the rightful place as the king of smartphones.
The video had a catchy pop beat, a good storyline and a very popular artists, that is why its already been making waves around the world with a current youtTube view of 33.5 Millions and counting. No less, Nokia hit the right mark on advertising this time that would definitely transform to profit.
Watch the full video below to see Katy Perry and the Nokia Lumia 1020 in action.

The songs behind the musical Les Miserables is already timeless, over and over from one generation to another, it had been played and listened to, countless of times and will perhaps continue for another generation, but its latest film installment went just beyond the song, it touches the sound quality as well by pairing up with the expert in the industry, Bang & Olufsen.
The collaboration had brought the musical to the next level, live on shot recording on a 5.1 surround sound quality. Anyways, watch the video below to know more.
Interestingly, a video that talks about surround sound system, a music to the ear among music and movie enthusiast. It might look simple in the eye but designing it with all the fine details is intricate and meticulous.
Leave The World Behind was the first song that Swedish House Mafia wrote. This song started the success-story that lasted until the Ultra House Festival in Miami 24 March this year when Swedish House Mafia played together for the very last time.
As a final farewell to their fans they are now releasing a new version of the song, featuring Lune. SHM has made a music video where we see the three guys leave the world behind them.
It’s been a while that I have not featured music articles on the blog. Well, I guess nothing is worth featuring not until I bumped into the latest album of Linkin Park labeled A Thousand Suns. I’ve been a big fan of the band since their very first album back in 2000 but I lost track of them lately not until I they came out in the MTV Video Awards and performed their latest single “The Catalyst” from their fourth studio album. Tha album was supposed to be release last year but for any good reason (it has to be!), they delayed it for another year.
It was a concept album dealing with nuclear warfare and themes of war in general. The album's title comes from the Hindu Sanskrit text Bhagavad Gita: "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one", a quote made famous by J. Robert Oppenheimer in reference to the atom bomb.
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 241,000 copies and peaked #1 in Canada selling 23,000 copies. The album also debuted at number 2 in the UK with sales of 46,711.
Of all the songs on the track list, the Wretches and Kings came out the best of them all. It has a catchy head twitching tune that could jumpstart anybodies mode when heard. I would say I miss this kind cool snazzy vibe from the band ever since the Hybrid Theory tracks back in 2000. I’m glad that there back on track.
I also like the Blackout track, another hyper active song with eccentric grouching but it’s what I miss most in any Linkin Park song. The Catalyst was okay, it’s more of a message driven song than a mode swinger and if you want to listen to the very first Linkin Park song that talks about Love then that would be “The Messenger”. It would have been great if they release the Wretches and Kings first, it would have been a rocking first impression. Overall, the album redefines the band building a unique style without losing originality. This very much separates them from the current band on existence and I applaud them more for doing so. Unlike other bands that have to change course becoming popsicles rather than solid rockies just to keep current, Linkin Park remained true to itself in a better and bolder way. I give it a 4 ½ stars.

2012 is one of my most awaited movie this year and its about to be shown in two weeks time! c", Wow, finally, its been awhile since I've been wanting to see this movie and and now it's just a few breaths away. I will finally get a glimpse of what might happen in two years time and I hope they are going to suggest the best way to spend last moments on earth. The movie trailer was already amazing, it seems that it will have tons of breathtaking scenes, my kind of stuff, lets see if it will live up to everyone's expectation.
Having a good movie also demands a good soundtrack and they found a good vehicle via Adam Lambert's, Time For Miracles. Though the song did not specifically fit the movies overall theme but it somehow conveyed the most common human receptivity when face with looming scenario such as what was being depicted in the movie, Hope for God's Miracle.
Without further a do, the official Music Video of the Movie 2012, Enjoy!
