Why is it that so many wedding parties drop the same wretched cliche reception songs like “Macarena” and “Brick House” and the godawful “Celebration” when you could so easily make a track list way more fun and original?! I don’t have the answer for you, but I do have a Top 5 Music Countdown of five alternative songs to rock at your next wedding party!

Gotta get down and dirty with some hot Brazilian electro-rock music!
5.  “Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death from Above”
-CSS

A little upbeat indie pop to keep the hipsters happy!
4.  “I Feel It All”
-Feist

French dance music will add some cool, international flair!
3.  “D.A.N.C.E.”
-Justice

A party isn’t complete without a little Danger Mouse in the mix, just avoid the overplayed “Crazy”.
2.  “Gone Daddy Gone”
-Gnarls Barkley

And finally, had to squeeze in some Jack White in there somewhere, of course!
1.  “Steady As She Goes”
-The Raconteurs

On Saturday, July 18th, hordes of fans of the video game series Final Fantasy will converge on the Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco for the sold out San Francisco Symphony performance of “Distant Worlds: The Music of Final Fantasy.”

The show will consist of the SF Symphony performing selections from the long history of the gaming franchise, and will be accompanied by visuals from the games. All of the music for the series was written by Nobuo Uematsu, who will be in attendance.

The Final Fantasy game series was created in 1987 by Hironobu Sakaguchi for the Japanese Famicom Game System (the Nintendo Entertainment System in America) for Squaresoft (now Square Enix). The franchise is loved the world over, and will be releasing the 13th game to an anxious public next year.

Every Wed. here at MEVIO we have indie music artists stop by the studios here and perform acoustic for us. We’ve had artists who are on tour stop in occasionally for an interview or an impromptu acoustic performance. Among the artists who’ve stopped by include Jason Shannon, Jet Lag Gemini, Geoff Smith, The Lonely H and many others. Then we got this bright idea to bring in some local talent and make a show of it. If you are a fan of MTV Unplugged, check this show out. You might like it!

Triple Cobra is about to embark on our first full-blown national tour. I saw this band open for The Trews at the Bottom of The Hill in San Francisco and was blown away. They play Hard Glam Rock with a couple of back up singers/dancers who dress super sexy and have tons of Rock attitude.
Note: Check out Athena Valbracht III. She is incredible to watch and one of the sexiest women I’ve ever seen on stage.
