Permission from Black Kids!

Hey there! This is the email we received allowing us to use "Love Me Already" by Black Kids.

CD covers convention

This is the kind of album cover we think we'd like to produce. The use of bright, shocking colour, coupled with bright images really fits the codes and conventions of the genre we are aiming at.  As you'll see from our album and magazine art work, we have tried to include many of these generic touches to make our product authentic. The final 2 questions of our audience testing questionnaire ask for feedback on how authentic the ancillary texts were. Results of this will be posted soon.

Music Video Ideas

Whilst discussing ideas for our music video we came across the idea of showing the band playing guitar hero instruments instead of the real instruments as a spoof. The idea was thought up of whilst looking at music videos when we came across a video of a band playing with toy guitars and guitar hero equipment. 

Other ideas for the music video involve showing a party (maybe a birthday party) with cardboard cut outs, A guy singing into a camera on his own. The video is meant to look like it's homemade as part of the fun aspect to try and capture sporadically what is happening. For the location we are thinking of acquiring a local youth venue in Clitheroe, so we are going to contact the owner to see if we can use it.

Below is a video we took inspiration for the guitar hero idea...

Feedback 7.12.09

Outline your concept for the video and comment on how you will interpret (or not) the lyrics. What types of video are you producing? I need to see evidence of the planning now and you also need to ensure that you get filming this week and before Xmas so we can advise you on what to work on over the break.See me to discuss.

The Lyrics!

The Black Kids 

My girl's been a real whore
Spending her time with Theodore
Now Teddy he's my best friend but
With friends like these
Who needs enemies?
My mother she told me
You're being silly
Talking, talking crazy
Don't tell me what my problem is
Just tell me what
She's doing at his
Apartment at midnight
I didn't get an invite
Tonight on my birthdy
That ain't half right
My best boy Teddy
That Skeezer How Could He?
Goddammit girl, just love me already

Can't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Won't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby

My father he told me
Biting and begging
That hurts your knees
You can't treat women like hotels
Why should she love you?
She knows you so well
Now I'm at a payphone
Humming so slow
To a busy tone
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heart beat
(He knocks on Ted's door
Keeping time with his heart beat)
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heart beat
The whore lets me in
And it looks (looks) like (like) a (a) party

Surprise, surprise it's your party, baby
I know you hate secrets but try not to hate me
Teddy and I, we kept it all on the sly
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So love me already
Love me already
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try
So baby don't cry
And please don't you try

So love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Won't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Can't you love, love, love me already
Love, love, love me already, baby
Ready baby, ready baby, ready baby

The Single have landed!

We Have a Song!!!

We now have permission from the manager of Black Kids to use their songs. After I sent many email to different bands and their managers I got a reply from Black Kids letting us know we can use their music. We have decided to use the song "Love Me Already" as the lyrics make it easier to set a narrative to as it is quite an interesting song about cheating and love and what not.

Right, lets get to work

In addition, songs taken from this particular genre are usually about similar topics. This is usually because they are appealing to teenagers (14 +) to young adults. Typical narratives for lyrics are usually, for example, about break ups, love, "partying" or anger towards someone, usually with an upbeat feel.
