'so you're sayin' there's a chance?' omgomgomgthat'sallineedtoknow. love, heather

wowowwowowow. talk about changes in the biz!









oh yeah. it's time.
looks like dreams could be coming true all over again - - either way - - i'm ready for whatever is coming my way. armed with HITS. hahahaha
I have my 'Hire Me, Don't Fire Me' mix ready to go! Finally! I'm sooooooooo much more excited today than I was yesterday!
Isn't it crazy how much your job can affect your overall attitude in life? Well, if you are me, work is life. My job is everything to me. I live with my cat, and we both don't know how to cook. hahaha
But it looks like me and Snickers are going to be fine. Thanks to everyone in the biz who has been talking me up - - and if you aren't == why the hell not?!?!?!?! hahahahaha
xoxoxoxo

until I can open up my big mouth and say everything i want without getting in trouble . . . i'll leave you with a few amazing videos from some of my most talked about artists on this very blog:
ENJOY!

my favorite song of 06 has to be MIKA 'Love Today'. I've actually had it since beginning of 05, and I remember blowing my current HELL YA! staffer EVAN VOLK with this track as a demo. I remember the first time I heard the demos, and when he showcased for Capitol Records - - I was instantly his #1 fan. I remember seeing Evan's face the first time I played this track for him - - priceless. I knew he would be working for me - - as we both bonded over MIKA! How can you not!?!!? Why is Mika not a huge gigantic superstar in the US? He will be soon enough . . .

SAM SPARRO 'Black & Gold' (NEW video!)


Molliemogo, SamSparro, HeatherPeggs = hellya sandwich.

****Wow it seems like just yesterday he was playing Hell Ya! w/ Iglu & Hartly, (it was only November @ the Echo!), and now he's already #2 in the UK! Pretty huge. Can't say i'm at all surprised, as when you got it, you really got it. He's a superduper star - - yep that's right, i said superduper. (i was quoting myself, from my Hell Ya! Podcast!)

and p.s. all peeps that are Coachella Bound next week - - make sure to watch the hottness that is my future ex=boyfriend MARK RONSON (sorry emily! we have to fight on this one!) as Mark has invited SAM SPARRO to join him onstage to sign Daniel M's part in "STOP ME". I hear they are also going to be playing 'Black & Gold'.

and to that I say . . . HELL YA.
It's a great time to be working in the biz. well that is, if you have great taste, balls, and talent to back it up! ;)

OOPS! BOY WAS I WRONG!! I am now a fan of . . .

SANTOGOLD!

Ok - - I'll be the first to admit when I make a mistake. I have very strong opinion and I'm not afraid of showing it . . BUT . . . Sometimes I form an opinion about an artist wayyyyyyy too quickly, before all the facts have presented themselves. And by FACTS, I mean HIT SONGS.

SOOOOO here's my first edition of 'Oops! Boy was I wrong!' I'm now a big fan of SANTOGOLD.

I almost fainted when I heard this amazing song called 'LES Artistes' (aka Lower East Side Artists) last night @ the bar. (yep it's the hipster bar that is actually called 'the bar' . . . hahaha)

I ran up to the DJ and asked for the facts - WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY and how much! When she replied with SANTOGOLD - I was transported back to the Mark Ronson @ the El Rey when I was talking shit while she was onstage. I didn't care at all. Not one bit. Even talked about how much I didn't care on this blog review HERE. I will blame it on the song. If only she would have sang 'LES ARTISTES' up there - I would have been singing her praises, playing the track on my podcast, etc . . .

Check out the song on imeem or stream it live on the player below.



Yep - it's my new favorite song. I will have this on repeat all weekend long. It sounds like a combo of Tegan & Sara mixed with M.I.A. What do you think? Do you like it? Does anybody know who produced this track? Was it Diplo? Ronson? Somebody else I should be talking about? Scoop Please.

Mark Ronson Live Show Review - Part 1

Names will be dropped all over this post, if you don't want to pick them up, I suggest you stop reading now. :) I'm just sayin'

Wow! Where do I even begin? First off, I think this was the best show I've seen ALL YEAR.

Amanda Walk was my date to the show (& thank you Megan Youngblood for hooking us up!!)
Right as we walked in we saw Fab from the Strokes, Katy Perry, Alex (Phantom Planet) and one of my favorite UK bands - - - THE FEELING! (*more on that later)

Some other names I can drop that were in attendance: Nicole Richie (preggers), Mischa Barton, Joel Madden, Samantha Ronson (duh), and I heard Christina Aguilera was there too . . . I didn't see her, but wish I did as we went to the same High School! HAHA.

The show started off with a bang - full band playing Mark Ronson's version of Coldplay's "God Put A Smile On Your Face".

MARK RONSON 'God Put A Smile On Your Face' Live

Then a song with Kenna, song with Santo Gold (didn't impress me much), then ROBBIE WILLIAMS came on stage and I started to really pay attention. Robbie sang ok, danced very Mick Jaggeresque, and the song was alright. Robbie looked hot, but I wish he would have sang LOVELIGHT - the song from his Rudebox album that Mark Ronson Produced.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS 'Lovelight' (song Robbie should have sang . . . )

After Robbie was Alex from Phantom Planet to sing my favorite Mark Ronson cover - his version of Radiohead "Just". It was amazing and made me realize just how much of a star Alex should be. Then the bass player from Phantom planet joined Alex, Ronson & band to play the OC theme song Juggernaut "CALIFORNIA". I got the chills, all over my body and they stayed throughout the whole song. It was just one of those moments where a song moves you even though didn't realize how much until it happens. I looked back at the upstairs VIP table - where Mischa Barton was at - and Nicole Richie was pointing at her and they were all having a great time. That must be so crazy being that famous . . . I think the whole audience looked back at her at that moment - to see how she reacted.

MARK RONSON/ALEX 'JUST' into 'CALIFORNIA' live

The show kept getting better and better - Nikka Costa came on stage to sing "LIKE A FEATHER" and just BLEW ME AWAY. Her moves, her voice, the song - it was very modern day Janis Joplin/Tina Turner. Why is NIKKA COSTA not a SUPERSTAR right now? I just don't get it. The whole audience was dancing and clapping along with her throughout the entire song. It was amazing. This was my first time seeing Nikka live. I'm so glad I did. If only this song came out TODAY - instead of 2001. It would be HUGE.

NIKKA COSTA 'Like A Feather'

The hits kept on coming, playing "Valerie" even though Amy Winehouse wasn't singing, it was one of the highlights. Leave it to Mark Ronson who can make a cover sound better than the original version by the Zutons. (same goes for 'Oh My God' featuring Lily Allen - instead of The Kaiser Chiefs)

MARK RONSON 'Valerie' (feat. Amy Winehouse)

He ended the show with Daniel Merriweather joining him and the band onstage to sing the ever popular "Stop Me". It was a perfect show, and I can't belive how good it was. I am sooooooo glad I was asked to go last minute. Amanda Walk again - I owe you one.

MARK RONSON 'Stop Me' (feat. Daniel Marriweather)

I hung around for the after party upstairs which was jam packed with more celebs and super hot. (as in temperature) I won't let you in on just how much of a Mark Ronson fan I am, but lets just say if Siobhain didn't introduce me, I wouldn't have even approached him. I really just smiled and nodded, told him great the show was, how I met him before with Rhymefest & Kroq, smiled again, and left. Short, Sweet, To The Point. PHEW. So glad I didn't embarrass myself.

Siobhain invited me to the after-after party which I will talk more about tomorrow. I've already dropped too many names for just one blog post. HAHA.

Till tomorrow - I'll leave you with a video showing the making of 'Valerie'

MARK RONSON - Making the Video "VALERIE"

MARK RONSON!!!! Tonight! WOOHOO!!

I'm sooooooo excited!!!!! I just offered a ticket to the super SOLD OUT MARK RONSON show tonight @ the El Rey!!! Thank You AMANDA WALK!!!


MARK RONSON feat. Alex Greenwald 'Just'

This video is my favorite - BANKSY is all over it! and btw HOW EXCITED ARE YOU GUYS ABOUT THE NEW RADIOHEAD!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHH

Candie Payne - One More Chance

another song produced by the hottest dj/producer on the planet (mark ronson) so i'd put big money on this girl Candie Payne doing quite well . . . seems everything he touches turns to gold.

tell me what you think! love it?/hate it?/just ok? i might be a bit biased, as i pretty much automatically like whatever he produces . . .


CANDIE PAYNE 'One More Chance' video

i wouldn't be surprised if this song was featured in an itunes or target commercial soon . . . it's supercooltastic, but i'm not obsesssssssed with it yet.
