Let's face it, most of what you find on the internet is junk. Its accessibility has allowed anyone to post just about anything they want, and unfortunately, a lot of that stuff is just awful. On the other hand, what makes the internet so great is that in the midst of all that garbage, it has always managed to discover and support some seriously talented people. One of these very people is "web-born" songbird, Kina Grannis . After entering a YouTube contest, the Los Angeles based singer-songwriter walked away with a video spot during the [...]

Ok... so I've recently gone on a cover album binge. This post is a byproduct of that fact. Most of the tracks were recorded pretty well but some quite litterally live up to the title "Living Room Sessions"... Regina Spektor's The Call and Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine are examples of this, [...]

Kina Grannis: Official I remember the moment I met Kina Grannis like it was yesterday. It was a cold winter night a number of years back. The lovely Los Angeles based singer/songwriter was at the Irvine Spectrum doing an acoustic set for all the people shopping for the holidays. Me and D$ were on an adventure and came across her beautiful voice so we had to stop for a second. Only a handful of people were paying attention so we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to approach her. We expressed [...]

I've posted about Kina Grannis before, proposing marriage. Which she didn't accept, sadly. I know you all want to know these things. Tonight, it's a simple post. I give you Kina's "Stay Just A Little" . A little piano, a little plucked guitar, THAT voice, with just a hint of backing vocals, telling a tale of love ending, and the quiet desperation that goes with it - what do you say to the other half of you when they say they have to leave? Do you beg [...]

It's that time of year again: Reindeers and lights everywhere, and long lists of presents… especially from my children. For my part, I just want 2012 to be as much of a "party year" as 2011 has been - or better even! I have a tough job (I may have ...

• Kina Grannis - In Your Arms

The Japanese-American singer/songwriter/guitarist Kina Grannis used 288,000 JELLY BEANS to create this video. Two hundred and eighty-eight THOUSAND. I can't even begin to comprehend how absurd that is, and it's beyond deserving of a post. Grannis won the Doritos Crash The Superbowl contest back in 2007, which won a record deal on Interscope. She's moved on since then, but is still releasing music independently. Nobody cares where it's coming from if it involves creativity like this. Shoutout to itstheBino with the find. Tweet

This YouTube starlet has been churning those folk tunes out like there's no tomorrow. We are glad she did a music video for one of her songs and it looks spectacular! Filed under: Beats , Clip , Yankee Panky Tagged: in your arms , Kina Grannis , music , new , video

This is a cute stop motion animation video that was filmed over 22-months apparently and used more than a quarter of a million jelly beans. Crazy. I admire the people who have the patience to do this kind of thing because I definitely wouldn't.
