Video Hook-Up: Kidz In The Hall (ft. Estelle) – “Love Hangover”

Kidz in the Hall (ft. Estelle)- “Love Hangover”

I am sort of hooked on this song. It’s hot as eff.

Right now in the Zune Marketplace, you can find some pretty neat tour videos from Kidz In The Hall and MURS, documenting their tour as they hop city-to-city in support of their new albums (The In Crowd and Murs for President, respectively).

Usually, I don’t like to plug the iPod/iPhone competitor, however, I sorta dig what KITH are doing here, and even thought certain friends of mine were given the ability to make playlists at Zune for consumers and had that messaging BLASTED out to a mailing list, which could have lead to more readers, I don’t mind the snub. I didn’t mind when they sent out free ones to people who didn’t even write them up and crapped on them and I didn’t even get an email.

Ugh.

“Independent hip-hop stalwart Murs is currently on the road with Kidz in the Hall for a 36-city tour to support their latest albums Murs for President and The In Crowd. In support of the tour, Zune is producing exclusive tour diary video podcasts that will chronicle the artists’ current journey across the U.S. The initial episodes will be available on Zune Marketplace beginning November 5, and new episodes will roll out weekly through December 18. Fans can subscribe to automatic weekly downloads and then synch the episodes to their Zune device to enjoy them on the go.

In addition to the video tour diaries, Zune is producing episodes with both artists for “The Green Room” interview series, which consists of video podcasts that take fans behind-the-scenes through regular access to exclusive, backstage interviews at concert venues. Murs and Kidz in the Hall are creating custom playlists of their favorite tracks for Zune Marketplace, as well as artist “Breakdowns”, where they discuss their albums track-by-track in their own words. Zune also created 25 custom devices for each artist etched with special artwork, which will be given away on the artists’ websites and through radio stations and other media outlets.

Fans can access all of this content by downloading the Zune software for free at www.zune.net. Zune recently launched new software and music discovery tools that help artists like Murs and Kidz in the Hall connect to new fans.
