LOS ANGELES, Calif. /Music Industry Newswire/ — Sleek beats and eerie melodies highlight ‘We All Love Bright Shiny Things,’ the new album from Jonny Harmonic, now on iTunes from Golosio Publishing (www.golosio.com). Harmonic is a mystifying musician no one has ever seen. “The guy comes in to record whenever no one else is present,” states John Scott G, producer and composer at Golosio. “That may be what frees him to play in such an unusual yet attractive way.”

The dozen songs on “Bright Shiny Things” had demos created by G at the Golosio studios starting last year. Performances by the reclusive Harmonic took place after midnight but before sunrise and only on odd-numbered days.

“Not only has nobody seen Jonny Harmonic,” G notes, “we’re not even sure his photographs are accurate.”

Golosio Publishing is pleased with the music on “We All Love Bright Shiny Things.” One track, called “Explosive Chill,” seems to sum up the album’s musical approach by combining laid-back electronica with supernatural tunes that would suit a modern foreign film. “Bright Sun at Midnight at the Top of the World” is psychedelia that hypnotizes. “Snakeneck” is an evil slow dance tune. “88 Gates of Knowledge” is an ethereal and contemplative track. In addition to releasing the songs on iTunes, there are ten music videos on YouTube and FookMovie.com.

This is the written statement supplied by the artist in a request for a bio: “Mr. Harmonic has no comment on rumors linking him to any ex-television series star currently in rehab.”

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /Music Industry Newswire/ — Golosio Music Publishing (www.golosio.com) is celebrating songs released in Europe, Australia and North America, each of which has a music video on YouTube and FookMovie. “The international response to our songs is very exciting,” notes firm partner John Scott G, “especially since Golosio is a relatively new music publishing company.”

Most recently, Toronto-based artist Paul Manchin recorded “You Are Love,” a song written by G, with production by Matt Forger (Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Yuming). “Paul and Matt took a CHR approach to the song and were so intrigued by it that they mixed three versions with different vocal and instrumental approaches,” G noted.

Last year, DJ Insane and The G-Man collaborated on “Dance Trance” and the track is a regular part of the EU touring set of DJ Insane, who is based in The Netherlands. The song was written by G, Doug Colosio, and Marcel Oosterom.

“Dream of You and Smile” is a song that was tracked by new artists Candice and Nadinne, twin sisters who are making news in Australia’s country music scene. The tune was composed by Doug Colosio, Greg Colosio, Scott Joss, Candice Austin, and Nadinne Riddell. “Candice and Nadinne get tremendous audience response whenever they sing this song,” G says, “and we’re all looking forward to their first tour of America.”

In the United States, Jan Linder-Koda teamed with Marty Rifkin to record two Golosio songs, “Amazed by the Light That is You” and “Destined to be One.” Also in the U.S., rapper Mel J is working on her first album of Golosio songs, and James Sotelo has finished an entire album for Golosio entitled “Blast of Fast,” with all tracks in the groove-electronica genre.

Ariel Santschi, director of PCTV’s Mixtape DVD series fortunately had groundbreaking success with the release of the Soldiers United For Cash documentary, which he shot with Legendary producer DJ Screw, two weeks before his untimely passing.

That opportunity opened doors, which led Santschi to shooting and directing multiple projects/documentaries with some of the biggest and most respected names in Southern Rap today including: Z-Ro, Scarface and the Legendary Pimp C (RIP).

Pitch Control TV Mixtape DVD Volume III will be released Tuesday, September 29th. Volume III is an inventive format containing almost 2 hours of interviews, exclusive concert footage, music videos and some behind the scenes footage of the hottest and most respected artists in South today. This Texas All-Star Edition features: UGK, Trae tha Truth, Slim Thug, Lil Flip, Big Pokey, Lil’ KeKe, Big Hawk (RIP) and all the Screwed Up Click members, to name a few.

You can also find hidden segments throughout the DVD, with special bonus material. This DVD will be a positive demonstration of what is yet to come out of the South and with 12 years of filming the underground music scene, Santschi is clever at bringing out the best in his focus.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /Music Industry Newswire/ — Tweens, teens and adults alike have been anxiously awaiting the sophomore season of the wacky politically-incorrect comedy with a heart, also known as Poor Paul, produced by Eye Scream Films. These same fans are also excited for the premiere of the Disney Channel’s Princess Protection Program which happens to star Poor Paul’s Kevin G. Schmidt (Young and the Restless, Cheaper by the Dozen) and Samantha Droke (Suite Life of Zack & Cody).

Why are fans of squeaky-clean Disney idols watching Poor Paul? Most likely because they’re not supposed to be. Who didn’t get a thrill out of sneaking into an R-Rated film as a kid? That, and the fact that Poor Paul is an intelligent, well-written and acted comedy that isn’t afraid to take chances. According to Tubefilter’s Lindsay Stidham: “Poor Paul’s strengths undoubtedly fall in its willingness to be wacky. To that, I say wack-it-up.”

YouTube user “BestFanOfMiley” said “Seriously… I can’t stop laughing! I hope there will be a second season… Pleeeeease” Another, jobrosfan26 said, “Awesome videos… I’ve watched every single one… they are amazing… keep up the great work!” Finally, “disneychannelfan2332″ posted “I love all of the characters and are you doing more episodes?”

Paul lives vicariously through his own video blog and creates hilarious fantasies to escape the stresses of real life. His roommates are the over-achieving “I’m better than everyone” Justin (Schmidt) and Clyde, the OCD womanizing alcoholic. A frequent visitor is Clyde’s adopted sister Bonnie (Droke), who has a crush on Paul. Their quirky chemistry all contribute to the guilty pleasure of Poor Paul.

Poor Paul’s second season has also attracted some high-profile guest stars including Guillermo Diaz (Half Baked, Chappelle Show, Weeds), Elaine Hendrix (The Parent Trap, Joan of Arcadia), Mandy Jiroux (Miley Cyrus’ BFF, Miley-Mandy Show) and returning as the lovable and eccentric Grandpa Paul, character actor Richard Riehle (Office Space, Grounded for Life).

“I had so much fun doing it, I would love to do more…” said Diaz after wrapping production. On Twitter, Jiroux tweeted, “Great guys, great actors, great show!”

Poor Paul is a 2009 Webby Award Honoree and stars Kevin G. Schmidt, Samantha Droke, Wes Whitworth (who replaces Nicholas Braun in the role of Clyde) and Zack Bennett as Paul; with Palmer Scott (Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job) and Poor Paul director Sean Michael Beyer as Mr. Ted.

New episodes will be released Tuesdays at 1 p.m. EDT / 10 a.m. PDT, beginning June 23, 2009 @ www.PoorPaul.com as well as YouTube.com and KoldCast.TV in HiDef.

Poor Paul is an Eye Scream Films production, written by Geoff Hoff and Steve Mancini, produced by Yousef Abu-Taleb (Lonely Girl 15) and directed by Sean Michael Beyer.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Golosio Music Publishing (www.golosio.com) is just a few months old but it has discovered a new way to expand its catalog of songs. The rhythm tracks for a new groove song were created in the Los Angeles studio of John Scott G and then sent to Golosio songwriters, Doug Colosio in Redding, California, and James Sotelo in Portland, Oregon, where two different melodies were created.

“Presto, two songs from one,” states G. “The beat is the same, but these two writer/performers invented themes and textures that take the tune in unusual directions.”

Many of the songwriters in the Golosio company have expressed interest in this form of serial songwriting. “Now that we know this is an enjoyable project for everyone, we’ve decided to create an entire album of songs where there are at least two unique perspectives to each tune,” G added.

Meanwhile, videos were created for each version of the song, entitled “Audio Lab Test One” and “Audio Lab Test Two.” The videos, both of which were directed by the FookMovie artist’s collective, are available on YouTube as well as the FookMovie Web site.

Both videos contain images and film clips from the 1940s and 1950s, intercut with modern images to create a kind of “surrealistic art in motion,” states a spokesperson for FookMovie. There are also satirical titles and many sudden “shock cuts” and subliminal images scattered through the videos.

In addition to John Scott G, James Sotelo, and Doug Colosio, songwriters working with Golosio Publishing include Scott Joss (country, Texas swing), Mel J (hip hop), and DJ Insane (trance), as well as country writers Greg Colosio, Dave Churchill, Dennis Barney, Jim Dyer, and Wayne Dean. Doug Colosio has written with Merle Haggard while Scott Joss has collaborated with both Haggard and Dwight Yoakam.

You have heard Golosio music in commercials for Verizon Wireless, Goodyear, the Auto Club, Micron, General Dynamics, and numerous regional brands. Golosio is affiliated with the three major U.S. performing rights organizations, BMI (Golosio Publishing), ASCAP (Audio Masterworks), and SESAC (Golosio Audio Masterworks).

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /Music Industry Newswire/ — With hooded figures dancing under a full moon, spectral guitarists torturing their instruments, and large-suited men manipulating stomp boxes, amplifiers and mixing boards, the latest video from FookMovie (www.fookmovie.com) is an explosion of color that matches the sound of “Elephant Gerald,” the new song from James Sotelo. Produced by John Scott G and directed/edited by Nicholas Laurence G, the “Elephant Gerald” music video attempts to hypnotize and seduce viewers with fantasy overlays of subliminal images, including zombies and madonnas, all while showcasing new and classic recording gear from the most recent trade show known as NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants). “With the people hidden under the hoods, this video is like a commercial for paganism,” Scott G said.

Composer and guitarist James Sotelo has completed this new work for an album of pieces that explore the outer reaches of fast-paced sonics. “James is operating where industrial music has decided to ravish pop music,” Scott G states. “Some of my friends call this ‘attention deficit disorder rock’ and we’re still trying to decide if they mean it in a good or a bad way.”

Altogether, FookMovie has created music videos for more than 40 songs. “We’ve had several videos banned by YouTube and were informed by Veoh that our account was cancelled due to excessive nudity in several videos,” notes Scott G, “so FookMovie is the best place to see everything. Besides, we’re filming in hi-def now and you can see everything on our site.”

FookMovie is the video production unit of Golosio Publishing. Other songwriters working with Golosio include Scott Joss (country, Texas swing), Doug Colosio (country, blues, soundtracks) Mel J (hip hop), and DJ Insane (trance), as well as country writers Greg Colosio, Dave Churchill, Dennis Barney, Jim Dyer, and Wayne Dean.

Golosio music has been used in commercials for Verizon Wireless, Goodyear, the Auto Club, Micron, General Dynamics, and numerous regional brands. Golosio is affiliated with the three major performing rights organizations in the United States. The three companies are Golosio Publishing (BMI), Audio Masterworks (ASCAP) and Golosio Audio Masterworks (SESAC).

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /Music Industry Newswire/ — With images inside of images and a nod to such masters of visual communication as surrealist Salvador Dali, the music videos of FookMovie (www.fookmovie.com) bring together poetry, painting, and performance art. A Los Angeles-based collective of artists, musicians and videographers, FookMovie has completed 43 videos since opening in April of 2008. “FookMovie is the visual production division of Golosio Publishing,” states John Scott G (recording artist The G-Man) “and one of our goals is to appeal to the poet and artist inside of everyone who browses the Web looking for music and video entertainment. We tell people many of our videos are visual poetry or eye haiku.”

The video to “Thorne” is loaded with religious and psychological symbolism, including images relating to death, baptism, repression, violence, molestation, resurrection, and redemption. Director Nicholas Laurence G spent six weeks putting the video together using multiple layers of visuals.

The surrealism in “88 Gates of Logic” is sometimes eerie, notes Scott G, “although it is most often playful and humorous, albeit in a moody sort of way. But those qualities describe the music of ’88 Gates’ so it’s a perfect fit.”

There is emotional punch in the video to “Beautiful World.” Accompanying the country swing big band song performed by Scott Joss and Doug Colosio are images of burning wedding and anniversary announcements. “The sense of loss is incredibly strong, and this feeling accurately mirrors the lyrics of the song written by Wayne Dean, Joss and Colosio,” Scott G points out.

The FookMovie Web site has all videos in QuickTime and offers links to the videos on YouTube and Veoh. “The mature-themed videos are only on Veoh because they have a category for 18+ content,” G notes, “but they are on our site with warning labels.”

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The new song from country duo Scott Joss and Doug Colosio is “Darlin’,” a deeply-felt ballad that celebrates many aspects of love. Released by Golosio Publishing (golosio.com), “Darlin’” is quietly exciting in a very peaceful and intimate style. “If ever a song could be said to wear its heart on its sleeve, this is the one,” says John Scott G, a partner in Golosio Publishing. “The lyrics are very down-to-earth but they pack an emotional wallop. Best of all, there is a special feeling to the song that can only be called timeless.”

Emphasizing that timeless quality is the music video for “Darlin’” which features contemplative photographs from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. “The photos are of parents and grandparents of Golosio employees,” G states,” and this makes the video and the song a kind of love letter to our families.”

The video, produced by the FookMovie collective, is available on YouTube, Veoh, Blip, and the Joss/Colosio page on Beta Records: betarecords.com/scott.joss.and.doug.colosio .

REDDING, Calif. — Scott Joss and Doug Colosio, taking time off from their regular gig in Merle Haggard’s band The Strangers, have released a new tune through Golosio Publishing that recaptures the country swing of such greats as Bob Wills, Milton Brown, and Asleep at the Wheel. Titled “I Wonder If I Do Too Much,” the song is full of humorous memories of a life of parties and frivolity. Balancing out that viewpoint are some rueful comments about not always remembering everything that happened during the merriment.

“This song is great fun and good for western swing dancing,” states John Scott G of Golosio Publishing, “but it also contains a bit of a message for folks who may often burn the candle at both ends.”

Speaking of which, an image of a candle burning at both ends is in the video for “I Wonder If I Do Too Much,” along with scenes of merrymaking, cocktails, party favors, streamers, eye charts (both in- and out-of-focus), and animated swirls of colorful bottles of alcohol.
