Ed Sheeran, 563,132,637; Eden and Shea, 70

edvideo.png

 

Obviously the original version by the British superstar is better, but the two young people from New York deserve to be heard, too. Hopefully their version — especially IF THEY RE-RECORD IT — will hit 10,000 views before Ed’s hits 600M.

I’ve been in the music business for 25 years now — and in the human being body thing  for more than 50 — and one of my themes is that the industry distorts the differnce between what they back and what is merely part of the community (i.e. organic, independt, amateur in the sense of “love”). Ed’s version is better than Eden’s, but not 80 millon times better. Maybe it’s twice as good. But she’s on the come.

(I don’t know Eden Arielle Gordon but found her surfing the internet — so there is an inconsistency in my argument in that the forces that propel Ed to 500M viewers also help me meet — by phone and email — Eden).

Eden Arielle Gordon is sometimes the performer known as Eden Arielle.

Check it out:

The Ed Sheeran video also had the added draw of the skinny blond lady pulling feathers out of her epidermis and a special made to order set of even more anthropomorphic artists’ dolls:

artdollsedvideo

which reminds me that I left a vm for James Moore because the Post today had a picture of a blue sculpture of a man holding a ball, which looks like the James Moore Bill Bliss bike tribute public art

edit to add, in March: Eden and bro are up to 81 views, or 14 percent increase. Ed is up to 573K, another 10K, but that’s only 2 percent: so Eden is gaining at a higher rate!

Goodbye, my friend (one L, before Turow)

edit to add: a few minutes later, I found the nine-minute clip of Laverne (and Shirley — Cindy Williams to her Penny Marshall) on Happy Days, the nidus, and then, for strange reasons, thought of Joyce Johnson and Elise Cowen.

i started to think “The Beats’ just as an extra says “there are two women beating each other in there..

At my initiative, Jonah came down and busked at Lytton Plaza, on election day, November, 2012. I had met him previously when onelinedrawing played at Cubberley, in 1999, with Matt Nathanson and John Doe.

Have you ever thought of doing a Queen tribute a-to-z of an album, arranged for solo voice and acoustic guitar? There’s a good movie about that band that is making me listen to all their old stuff, plus ones that never hit me until now. I’ve been singing (my versions — arranged for tone deaf teens turned 54 — in parking garages. Actually, for the first time in my life I got 86d from a cafe for playing piano badly. Ok, I was not 86d but the guy said to stop.
