Established in 1997, UrbanMecca.com (Formally known as BlackWeb.net) is a portal for African Americans focusing on news and community.  Due to its varied content, the site reaches a wide range of people looking for African American content…across age, income, and gender all around the world.

Inspired by the achievements of what Johnson Publishing did in the magazine industry in the 20th century, UrbanMecca.com holds a special distinction as a minority owned and operated company and exists in a certain class of publishers where other sites that vie for African American traffic are only ‘products’ of large ad supported publishers.

    Hello,

    With this e-mail we would like to present you the first Official Music video of the band the Storylines, created by Edoardo Vojvoda.

    VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0Di0tLZGNo

    The Storylines project was born in 2006, in a small, dusty, unused room located in the 17-inhabitants town called Piancavallo, among the mountains looking at the city of Pordenone, in the North-East of Italy.
    In that small room with a creaking floor, the continuous presence of electronic and artificial sounscapes is sometime influenced by a folk spirit born in Paris.

    The single Icarus is an extract from the LP “June Leaves”, their first full-length album, already widely reviewed by Italian Music critics. The album is published by the independent label Megaphone Records.

    The video was born by the idea of portraying what goes on in a dog’s brain during a normal day: boredom from not being cared, the desire to escape, freedom, until melancholy and homesickness settles. After all, being home is not that bad. While producing it, we asked ourselves how does the world appear to this animal, this is why we chose this low visual, and why we ‘mistreated’ colors this way – dogs don’t discern between Red and Green, this is why we took them out.

    We believe this Video is a great example of human ingenuity, furthermore with no budget, this is why we hope you’ll consider it for your news.

    We’re attaching some images and picture that you can use.

    Thanks for your consideration

    Megaphone Crew
