Aimee Mann Gets a Taste of YouTube Success

Tired of singing in the shower? Want to show your inner soft-rock-star to the world? Aimee Mann is currently hosting a contest on YouTube to encourage fans to sing her new music to the world. Her management came up with the idea, admits Mann, after watching fans cover her 'Magnolia' movie hit 'Save Me' on the internet. "They sat in the office and watched them all, then called me and said, 'They are actually kind of awesome! We should do a contest, and have people make videos for [the single] 'Freeway,'" Mann tells Spinner. "It was a good idea." Mann -- who releases her music independently on her own SuperEgo Records, including her latest album, '@#%&*! Smilers' -- put an instrumental mp3 of the track up on her website so that entrants who don't play instruments could sing along to her original backing track.

Truth is, the video announcing the competition is as entertaining as many of the entrants' videos, filled with clips of unbeknownst YouTubers who have previously covered Mann's music in their own bedrooms and home studios. The singer admits to being shocked that -- just weeks after the contest's kickoff -- her own video announcement has itself already been viewed 400,000 times.

Cheap Trick to Recreate 'Sgt. Pepper's' With Friends

It's not unusual for a musician to serve time in a cover band before making the big time, but -- with apologies to our flowerpot-hatted friends from Akron -- taking the De-evolutionary path is rather uncommon. That's not stopping the members of Cheap Trick from casting themselves as a de facto version of Beatlemania for a pull-out-the-stops re-creation of 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,' which they'll stage at the Hollywood Bowl next month.

The Illinoisemakers will be joined by a passel of like-minded Fab Four fans, including Joan Osborne and Aimee Mann -- not to mention the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Maybe we're just being persnickety, but we can't imagine Sgt. Pepper going forward without a star turn from Alice Cooper, who'll always be the Sun King in our book.
