Episode #29: Villains

EP29_MVH

In this fun episode, all 4 members of My Villain Heart, join us as we talk about their upcoming EP “Here, There, and In Between” and we also review the Pear Jam concert we all went to back in November. Also, as of late with all of the criminal activity happening in the world today, the art of villainy has been lost. So we go back to movies, cartoons, and TV to list our favorite villains of all time. Of course no definative list was made, but it was fun to go through the memorable villains of our childhood and present time. Also, at the time of this recording we learn of the death of Paul Walker. R.I.P.

QUESTION…
Is there a single that Bruno Mars has released that has NOT been an absolute smash hit!!!?
Bruno Mars (born Peter Gene Hernandez from Hawaii, from parents of Puerto Rican/Jewish/Phillipine, and Spanish descent) was officially introduced to US with his first single “Just the Way You Are”
in the Summer of 2010 (July 19,2010) from his astronomical debut album “Doo-Wop and Hooligans”.

“Her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they’re not shining…”

Damnnnnnnn… C’mon, it’s so good, it ain’t fair!!!
Following the success of his first single, shortly thereafter, Mars released his second single “Grenade” (an ode to love martyrdom) in the Fall of 2010 (September 8th, 2010).

“You know I’d catch a grenade for you, throw my hand on a blade for you, jump in front of a train for you, do ANYTHING for you…”

Obvious crazy stupid love, the REAL shit! Both of these initial singles along with Mar’s debut album eventually helped him earn his first Grammy Award on February 13, 2011.

“It Will Rain” (my personal favorite Mars jam) was released on September 22,2011 as a single on the Twilight: Breaking Dawn soundtrack. Oops! Sorry Twilight junkies…Breaking Dawn, PART 1. Duhhh!!! Mars’ use of universal imagery and subtle dark undertones referencing narcotic hallucinogenic substances are perfectly balanced anologies which make for a beautiful haunting symphony of a song.

“If you ever leave me baby, leave some morphine at my door, cuz it would take a whole lot of medication, to realize what we used to have, we don’t have it anymore…if you walk away, everyday it will rain”

OKAY, SO PERKING THINGS UP…
Bruno Mars released the first single “Locked Out of Heaven” on October 1, 2012 from his second mammoth album “Unorthodox Jukebox” which debuted on December 11, 2012. Needless to say, “Locked Out of Heaven” reached #1 on various music charts. Bruno released other phenom hit singles shortly thereafter, the piano ballad “When I was your Man”, the funky “Treasure”, and the sexually driven “Gorilla”.

Bruno’s early success hasn’t only won him noteriety with a whole world full of devout Bruno Mars fans but also amongst other huge entertainers of which he has collaborated, such as, Snoop Dogg (Snoop Lion, etc.) and Wiz Khalifa.

All in all it’s very difficult to wrap my head around the simple fact that this guy has REALLY only been on the music scene since 2010. Incredible! I’m gonna go ahead and put out there that my gut and passionate ears foresee Bruno Mars being the “Prince” of what I’m affectionately calling The Now Generation. (And yes by Prince, I mean that mean musician of a man who partied like it was 1999). Prince to the 1999 Generation. Bruno to the Now Generation.

Look! Bruno can dance his ass off. Bruno plays a mean guitar and piano, along with other instruments. Bruno writes all of his own music. Bruno can sing. And Bruno is short. Yes, a tiny man just like Prince! The Biggest of things out of smallest of packages. I rest my case!!!
