Hey new fans!! In case you found me through that "All About That Bass" video that is going FB viral, the name of the group in the video is Postmodern Jukebox, and we are on tour in the US and Canada this Spring. Tix are here: http://www.pmjlive.com

...oh, and I also have a YouTube channel with a ton of vintage remakes of pop songs: http://www.youtube.com/scottbradleelovesya

Kind of goes to show Scott knew exactly what he was doing when he decided to make the unique decision to cover a song a second time...

Also goes to show that tiny, but vocal 'elitist' group of haters that post on PMJ don't know WTF they're talking about...

One of them leaked into my "Creep" comments, tagged it w/ dislike, I deleted the comment

There seem to be some PMJ "old-timers" on Scott's channel that have been around since he had a small number of subscribers and resent that Scott has been bringing in new singers and not featuring Robyn much. And there are those that fell in love with Kate's AATB cover and find a re-do of that song to be insulting and disrespectful. Some seem really bitter about new things that Scott is doing.

One of the refreshing aspects of the Kai Kamai FB posting of AATB is that the viewers of the video are not part of the PMJ "elitist" crowd. Most have never heard of PMJ and respond to the new AATB video without any of that baggage. And they love it.

I am just AMAZED at the number of Facebook views on this video!! 13 million and counting!!! Scott is one smart cookie, but I bet he never saw this one coming....

I'm so thrilled for everyone in the video! Look at the exposure their getting! Incredible!

The FB viral action has been a lot of fun. I get a kick looking over the share comments as people turn their friends onto the song. Go deep enough into the list and you get the chatter among people and it is very positive. Many of the shares that don't have comments involve a person simply putting the video on their timeline. The chatter on those and the Likes from friends comes after a few hours or more.

The other thing that is really cool about the FB explosion is that it is truly global. Haley and PMJ are rockin' the world!

Who would have thought THIS SONG would cause this viral craziness. WOW!!! Now, it will be interesting to see how many people actually turn into real fans of Haley's and Casey's.

I think that for a lot of people the video is cool but mostly a short diversion. However, they have new awareness that serves Haley and Casey well. They are set up for the next round. But regardless of their level of interest, it is up to Haley and Casey to bring the next thing.

I looked at some guys Youtube account today after seeing a "wow" type comment on AATB. It was gratifying to see that he spent two hours liking videos from Tusk, Rachel, and others and putting them in a playlist.

I hope Haley keeps the momentum going.

Great to see people actually checking out Haley and really listening to her music. Cause once your caught in her web, your done for... No getting out...

Pennylane and I will be seeing Harry and Patti Reinhart tomorrow night at their Midnight Trio gig. I'm excited to hear what they have to say about all this.
