The Buzz - January 28,2010

Welcome to cleaverb.net in January 2010!
We awoke with a funny feeling this morning. I love snow; when it is fresh and wet. Or falling in big flakes, straight down. With all the weather channels doing their best to make 'everybody panic' about this approaching storm . Sheesh. put me in the mood for some ambient music. Ah, then we made this wonderful discovery: Go to theknife.net/ for a listen to a new album!
"The Knife are to release the studio version of the opera 'Tomorrow, In A Year', on the 1st March 2010." In collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, and commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for their opera based on Charles Darwin and his book 'On the Origin of the Species'. The Knife decided to make this a collaborative process, working with artists Mt. Sims and Planningtorock for the first time, to capture the huge width of the Darwin and evolution theme.(Basic quotes and text from the Knifes MySpace blog.)
So far, we are up to track 6 of CD #2, and it's all ambient sound; peaceful and stress-free listening. They have also uploaded 1 new song to their MySpace page.
For fun, you can visit www.atemlos.tv for a countdown to Schiller's new album release...
Tina Karol new video for Chinchilla is now on YouTube.
Shania's website has a new look. See - www.shaniatwain.com.
We have been quiet on new YouTube videos all month. Well , the account which used to upload most of the 'goodies' we watched has been suspended. It seems there are multiple copyright violations...
We have revived the A-Z of Musicians project ! and uploaded an R, S, U, V, and W pages.
Alright. Well, we have been attempting to create a new video for upload on YouTube. We tried the song with a Creative Commons video ( search Tacoma Narrows Bridge) and it worked out well. But there are nearly 300 videos of the event on YouTube already. So we are hoping that this approaching 'ice and snow' storm will bring something worth recording. Well, let us hope it doesn't knock out our utilities, but some 'slipping and sliding' would be okay. We wanted to show some peaceful nature; water dripping from icicles, snow flakes falling , so this may be our chance to create Cleaverb's first ever homemade video. Wish us good luck ( and safe travel!). Ciao for now.

Cleaverb has eagerly awaited the re-launch of Total: s website; right now it is only a cover page with links to their social websites(MySpace,YouTube,etc). The group has uploaded a new song on their MySpace page, and also there are over 50 new photos! There are many smiles in the photographs, which was rare in the past. They have not added their new, fifth member to the page, but there are a couple of photos of him. Total has also created a YouTube account, and they have uploaded many of their classic videos, along with a few live videos.We will update our links!
In other news:
Elena Risteska has a new song which can be heard on YouTube at: Elena Risteska - A mozevme.
Leslies new album has been moved back to an April 2010 release date...
Bananarama have been cooking on the BBC, and they are going to release another single sooon...but they are not saying what song it is.
Julia Kovalchuk has been working on an animated Russian show called Life, and she also did a video report which you can view at : russia.ru.
There has been a long silence on Blest.ru . They have always kept their news up-to-date,until this January. So we imagine the girls are 'recording' their new album, as was quoted in late November..Well now, Nadya Ruchka is going to appear on the TV show Dancing with the Stars.
We noticed that Ace Of Base logged into their MySpace account (in Jan. 2010) for the first time several months, which is a good sign! Hope you are doing well. More Ace Of Base rumors: they are hoping to re-launch their website in the first half of 2010...Jenny Berggren recently wrote a book in Swedish, which may eventually be translated into other languages.Jenny uses Twitter and her account is - here - .
We are counting the days; 21 days until the opening of Calgary 2010 Winter Olympic Games!
Our "La Femme D'argent" video has taken off the past few weeks, averaging nearly 20,000 views a day! Cleaverb is working on a new video; we have a great instrumental song but cannot find a suitable video. Maybe we will finally have to buy a good video camera and begin filming our own content. Ciao for now..

January 18 was the day when D'Sounds new album "Starts and Ends" is to be released. There is a korean version on eBay, and you can buy the songs on i-Tunes.
Since Mubito went bankrupt back in the summer of 09,many artists lost their online presence; and for some their sources of revenue. All seems pretty quiet on the Ace Of Base scene, although Jenny Berggren has apparently recorded a single as a solo artist. You can download Jennys single at:www.jennyberggren.com(scroll down). The rumor is that Ace Of Base may carry on with new singers.
We have a few new videos -
Schiller uploaded a clip of his new(next?) single schiller with nadia ali | try | new single 2010...
Air just posted a new video on YouTube at - So Light is Her Footfall.
Also Zeljko J uploaded two more videos of the promo concert - Pola Srca and Nepoznat Broj.
We are updating a few pages and features on cleaverb.net, including our Archive page, SiteMap, and Recent purchases page. We have a couple more pages for Retro-Mania, but not uploaded yet. And Elena Risteskas website disappeared,so we may try to re-create her 2006 pages that were up in December,too.

There is an nice article about Leslie at musiqueradio.com She has a new record label Artop Records, her album will be titled "A La Recherche Du Bonheur" , and the album is expected to be released in March 2010...
Zeljko has uploaded 4 great live videos from an early December 2009 concert: Ljubavi, Stihija, Sto moras da znas, and Zena Za Sva Vremena .
On the home front, we just received our Bananarama Viva CD yesterday! We have heard it 3 times now, and still deciding upon our favorite songs. Well, have you ever wanted to know how cleaverb listens to music on the computer ? We have the answer, and it is probably not what you would expect. Have a look at our Home Theatre project page for an indepth view of our 'accidental' stereo purchase. The page is a rought draft, and I am positive we will either re-write the text, or edit out a few parts. Then add some other bits.
We will be updating our sitemap page soon, and we are hoping to launch a "Science section" to include our language pages, and the weather page, and some pages about web page coding. Unless we find something better to write about. We are thinking about it, yet we still haven't finished our A to Z project which we started in October. And a few other things need touched up on our site as well. Ciao for now...

Language is essential. Listening to a foreign language can be fun,entertaining,and inspiring to people. We wanted to share some simple pages of information, comparing languages. We ended up with a page of the numbers 0-10, in 30 languages, which you can view here. Then, we thought it would be better if we could provide some vocabulary; not the normal he/she, howareyou kind of stuff. No. Rather, why not post some useful words that no one else has ? Here we have 12 'alphabet' pages, one for each of 12 languages. With more than just the letters. It seems the northern hemisphere has frozen, the world over. wow. Down to zero Fahrenheit here for the next few days. And that is unusual. How cold is that ? Check out our Weather Science page!

Welcome to cleaverb.net, and S Rozhdestvom Khristovym in January 2010!
All is quiet on the YouTube front; none of my suscriptions are showing any new videos. Yet we have been busy writing new pages, including this Weather Science page. If you ever wanted to know convert kph to mph, or fahrenheit to celsius, we got you covered. The page also has a heat index for those warm January nights, and both metric and american wind chill charts.
We are currently working on some language pages, just something we cooked up on our own. There will be 12 pages when the project is complete. As of now, we have 7 pages ready to upload. But the pages interlink; so we are not posting a link to them just yet. stay tuned...

Probably nobody says happy new year 2010 better than Schiller - Happy New Year 2010.
It's nice..we always have dreamed of creating a language section.The problem is, we are not that adept with anything except english. And then, several languages have noun or verb declension, etc. and it can be very confusing until you are comfortable with a new language. Maybe this shall be the year, when we finally create some basic pages for a few languages.
I thought a comparison chart of numbers 1-10 in 8-10 languages would be a fun project.Give me some time!
Our next project (sometime in January 10) will be a 'weather page' , with charts for wind chill, heat index, and hopefully a Fahrenheit to Celsius convertor.. we are just attempting to fit all of that on one page.

Alright, getting back to the "new" videos ,first up we have just a song, from Leslie, Tout sur mon père. And she( or somebody) has created a YouTube channel for her at LeslieOfficiel.
Here is the first (?) single from Notis Sfakianakis new album - Matameno Dakri , and the song - Akou File. It's a fine album,and we should be adding it to our collection once we receive a few of our other purchases.
Zeljko Joksimovich also has a fine new album in 2009 titled Ljubavi , and this is the first(?) single and title track - Ljubavi.
Tina Karol has uploaded this clip for her next single, which will be out in January 10 , - Chinchilla clip.
And we shall leave you with this 'live' performance by VIA-Gra - Sumashedshii live.

Over the course of the next few weeks, we will have many entertaining videos to watch from this holiday season. For now, we shall have to wait patiently for those performances.
We did notice that, D'Sounds new album, Starts and Ends , is being sold in some Korean sites. The disks appear to be early or pre- releases, since they mention dates for the current D'Sound tour...
I have seen the new Despina Vandi GH 2001-2009 collection for sale, and also a 'limited edition' 4 CD, 57 song compilation that we never heard of before..seems it was a 1 day only offering, in Greece.
Also, Kristina Orbakaite's new collection, The Best , can be seen on her orbakaite.ru (along with a cute Happy New Year graphic) , by going to this page... We may have to change our newly added graphics to KristinasFeature page.
And don't forget this holiday wish from Janna Friske blog.
We have a ton of favorite movies coming on tv in the next few days,and you can read some more on our new, Vox blog. Ciao!
