Molecular Interactions Identified That Block Protein Transfer into Mitochondria of Huntington's Disease Neurons
By BiotechDaily International staff writers
Posted on 08 Jul 2014
Image: A microscope image of a neuron with inclusion (stained orange) caused by Huntington\'s disease (Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons).
Researchers have identified a protein complex that interacts with the mutated form of huntingtin protein to impair transport of proteins into the mitochondria of brain cells, which leads to their malfunction and the loss of neurons that characterizes Huntington's disease.
Huntington's disease is caused by a dominant gene that encodes a protein known as huntingtin (Htt). The 5' end of the Huntington's disease gene has a sequence of three DNA bases, cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG), coding for the amino acid glutamine, that is repeated multiple times. Normal persons have a CAG repeat count of between 7 and 35 repeats, while the mutated form of the gene has anywhere from 36 to 180 repeats. The mutant form of Htt is broken down into toxic peptides, which contribute to the pathology of the syndrome.
Investigators at the Washington University School of Medicine (St. Louis, MO, USA) and their colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh (PA, USA) worked with in vitro culture models and with a mouse model that mimicked the early stages of Huntington's disease.
They reported in the May 18, 2014, online edition of the journal
Nature Neuroscience
that recombinant mutant Htt directly inhibited mitochondrial protein import in their culture model. Furthermore, mitochondria from the brain synaptosomes of presymptomatic Huntington's disease model mice and from mutant Htt-expressing primary neurons exhibited a protein import defect, suggesting that deficient protein import was an early event in Huntington's disease.
At the molecular level, the investigators spotted interactions between mutant Htt and the TIM23 (translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 23) mitochondrial protein import complex. Overexpression of TIM23 complex subunits attenuated the mutant Htt–induced mitochondrial import defect and subsequent neuronal death, which demonstrated that deficient mitochondrial protein import caused mutant Htt-induced neuronal death.
"We showed the problem could be fixed by making cells overproduce the proteins that make this transfer possible," said first author Dr. Hiroko Yano, assistant professor of neurological surgery, neurology, and genetics at the Washington University School of Medicine. "We do not know if this will work in humans, but it is exciting to have a solid new lead on how this condition kills brain cells."

Chris Jacobson has no more knees to give.
First the right knee, then the left, have been damaged during his collegiate career. But he'll play on Pitt's offensive line this season — his sixth at the university — after graduating with a degree in administrative justice while working on a minor in legal studies.
Jacobson, a graduate of Keystone Oaks High School, is one of 10 Pitt seniors who earned their degrees with athletic eligibility remaining. Each will work toward a graduate degree while taking at least two courses this fall.
Without the second injury, suffered in the third week of last season and repaired surgically nine days later, Jacobson never would have attempted to earn the additional degree.
"I would have gone into real life," he said. "I got hurt and said, 'OK, now what do I do?' So, I took another degree."
Likewise, Pitt senior safety Andrew Taglianetti isn't slowing down after graduating this spring with a degree in business. He celebrated by going on a mercy mission with other Pitt student-athletes to earthquake-torn Haiti. Upon his return, he immediately started pursuing his MBA.
"The classload doesn't really diminish," he said. "It might, actually, get harder."
That's OK, because Taglianetti, a Central Catholic graduate, likes competing in the classroom as much as he does on the football field.
"I graduated with a 3.1," he said. "Balancing a Division I sport with a business degree, I'll take it. There is no correlation between GPA and intelligence.
"I could have went and got a 4.0. There are kids who have a 4.0, but I know I can match up with them. When the hiring process comes down, someone might have better grades than me, but I'll throw myself up against anyone.
"I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else, but it's kind of fun to push yourself to be better than the best."
Taglianetti, who has interned with the Penguins and a commercial real estate company the past two summers, isn't sure where his degree will lead. He knows this much, though:
"I want to run a company someday, be in charge," he said. "I want to be the boss."
After his playing days, Jacobson will seek a career in law enforcement, but he would prefer something beyond riding in a patrol car. He had his fill of that two years ago while interning with the Dormont police.
Riding shotgun with Sgt. Jim Burke, Jacobson spotted then-Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt innocently driving his car along Route 19.
"Should we pull him over?" Burke said.
"No, no, please don't," Jacobson said.
Burke had none of it. "We'll get him," he said.
"Next thing you know, lights," Jacobson said.
Burke pulled over the car and a nervous Wannstedt got out.
"Sir," Burke said, "please, park your car up there and get out of the vehicle."
"Coach Wannstedt was freaking out," Jacobson said. "He was scared."
Finally, Jacobson stepped out of the police car, and his cover was blown.
"(Wannstedt) throws his hands in the air, and we all had a good laugh," Jacobson said.
The next day, Wannstedt struck back, relating the story to former Pitt strength coach Buddy Morris.
"You pulled over the head coach?" Morris said to Jacobson. "50 up-downs."

It sometimes becomes downright politically and diplomatically inconvenient to tell it like it is. At such junctures creative copywriters conjure up imaginative alternatives.This was the kneejerk inclination after a Gazan bus driver slammed his vehicle on February 14, 2001 into a bus stop at the Azur junction, killing eight and wounding a further 21. Although he steered directly into the crowd of passengers on the pavement at a speed of 147 kilometers per hour and plowed the length of the sidewalk, the initial reaction was that this was a road traffic accident.The driver continued in a mad race southwards toward Gaza, until he was finally apprehended near Gan Yavneh. He then inconsiderately spoiled Israeli officialdom's pretense by announcing to all and sundry that he had intentionally set out to run down Israelis. The murderer, who never expressed even a vague suggestion of remorse, was freed in the Gilad Schalit deal to a hero's welcome in Gaza.This was hardly the only instance of an attempt to pass off a terrorist atrocity as something else. The Israeli penchant for identifying spit in the face as droplets of rain is ongoing.Hence there's still a lot of speculation among us about whether 9-year-old Noam Glick was injured recently by a common thief or a terrorist and about whether Sraya Ofer was gruesomely hacked to death a few days later by criminals or terrorists (never mind that the distinction between the two is often artificial).Was Tomer Hazan of Bat Yam abducted and slain by a private entrepreneur or by a terrorist? And who at all was it that fatally shot Corporal Gal Kobi near Hebron's Cave of the Patriarchs? Was it an expert terrorist sniper or a freelance amateur sharpshooter? Was the tractor driver who broke into an IDF camp near Ramallah a garden-variety madman or a sane terrorist?In truth, it almost doesn't matter whether the accumulation of apparent acts of Arab terror in recent weeks signals the start of a new so-called intifada, whether the violence was synchronized by an unseen hand or whether it's nothing but a meaningless random accrual of unrelated forgivable felonies.What matters is that the combination of the Palestinian Authority's seeming negotiating stance with an implicit terrorist threat isn't something which – by the light of our past experience and objective observation – can be reasonably ruled out. The latent underlying intimidation is interminably there.Recent history has taught us – with alarming consistency – that the launching of any round of talks with the PA inevitably brings with it bloodshed. Prattle about peace in our region is consistently accentuated by slaughter. The quest for coexistence is accompanied by casualties.This should have been apparent already in those first heady post-Oslo days when the nitty-gritty of the accords were being hashed out. The talks were conducted as buses exploded in our cities, as a trip to the supermarket became a mortal risk, as did a meal at a restaurant or a quick bite at a fast-food eatery.By way of prescribing opiates to dull the pain, the leaders who brought us Oslo sought to sooth our anxieties with assurances that the dismembered corpses and maimed civilians were "victims of peace." Their reprehensible notion was that peace is a proverbial Moloch which needs to be repeatedly satiated with human sacrifice and that it is somehow commendable to offer up innocent lives for a popular cause.If that weren't enough, we were treated to a sadistic rerun of the initial Oslo bloodletting when then-premier Ehud Barak attempted a quick fix for Oslo with the avid assistance of US President Bill Clinton at Camp David in 2000.Barak had planned on giving almost everything away to his then peace-partner Yasser Arafat, but with one major hitch. He wanted Arafat to declare that the conflict thereby concludes. No more demands, irredentist aspirations, or pretexts for forthcoming ferment.The whole Clinton-enabled deal fell through because Arafat couldn't abide "end of dispute" phraseology. He couldn't countenance committing himself to any blueprint that would legally leave Jews a sliver of a toehold in their ancestral homeland (to which, he told an astounded Clinton, the Jews had no connection whatsoever and that "there never was a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem").Since Barak's earlier unilateral retreat from Lebanon convinced Arafat that Jews could be forced out, he launched his bloody intifada just to avoid the unthinkable pledge of "no more bloodshed." And so, yet another peace-formulating session was underwritten in blood. Predictably, the announcement of any parley unavoidably brings with it heightened danger. This is a fact of life which no obfuscating words can conceal, not even if they come from the current White House resident, who – admittedly amid honeyed blandishments – insinuates that Israel's existential interests somehow negate harmony in the Arab/Islamic realm.The upshot is that PA head honcho Mahmoud Abbas needn't necessarily issue explicit orders for an orchestrated intifada as his predecessor Arafat did thirteen years ago. It's quite enough for Abbas to somewhat reduce his police force's anyhow inadequate anti-terrorist vigilance, while ramping up already virulent anti-Israel incitement in his official media, his school system and the mosques he controls.In itself, this serves to issue an implied warning to Israel that outright hostilities remain a viable option should Israel not cave in to Abbas's demands at the negotiating table, where his own representatives have so far shown zero predisposition to any hint of compromise.Abbas may be weak and his very survival may depend on Israeli goodwill, but weakness can be bizarrely played as a strong hand. Abbas can unofficially sanction terror and his message therefore is that if the Israeli side relishes calm, it would be wise to pay up.Abbas may not have commissioned the recent assaults on Israelis but he needed only free up the reins a bit in order to essentially prepare the ground for a more escalated terror campaign, should he consider it desirable at any point. He figures that Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu is well aware of this tactic but cannot do much about it.Netanyahu cannot so much as make tough sounds. He cannot risk being blamed for a likely failure of the negotiations and is therefore likely to keep mum. He will furthermore have no choice but to keep freeing convicted terrorist murderers as "a goodwill gesture" to buy Abbas's very participation in the talks.This incremental process will continue no matter how much Abbas violates the trust nominally put in him (and exorbitantly paid for) and no matter how much the convicts' phased releases inject fervor and reinvigorated motivation into terror cells in Abbas's bailiwick.Despite itself and against its own vital interests, Israel is forced to continue performing in a theater of the absurd. This too is further fallout from the Oslo fiasco. The most outstanding absurdity is that Israel – a democracy which craves peace and keeps forking out for it excessively – is the one required by the international community to keep proving its dedication to peace.This isn't a mere ethical farce but it exacts real cost in our long term ability to withstand pressure and safeguard the most elementary defense prerequisites for Israel's citizenry. The need to prove our good intentions, while facing duplicitous and treacherous enemies, is corroding and debilitating.For the most valid of security reasons, for example, Israel must retain control of the Jordan Valley or expose its narrow waist to lethal attacks from the east. Yet in unfriendly political salons abroad our inability to confine ourselves again into "the Auschwitz borders" (a term coined by Israel's ultra-dovish late foreign minister, Abba Eban), will single us out as the obstructionist side. No one knows our geography nor cares that at its very center Israel is just nine miles wide and that its population alone is threatened with annihilation.There's no sympathy in foreign capitals for Israel's demand that it be recognized as a Jewish state – according to the UN's own 1947 Partition Resolution which the Arabs belligerently rejected. That Arab refusal to accept the legitimacy of Jewish statehood is the root cause of the conflict rather than the creation of another Arab Palestinian state. But Abbas seems to be getting away with the affectation that he had already recognized a characterless state called Israel.Further legitimizing it as a Jewish state would mean that Abbas would be waiving "the right" to Arabize said state. For now, it's okay by Abbas if the third Arab state in the original territory of the British Mandate (after Jordan and Palestine) is temporarily known as Israel. This doesn't preclude overrunning it with millions of "repatriated Arab refugees." The name will be changed later by a future Arab majority. No point to quibble about it prematurely.And so we are trapped in a vicious cycle born out of a process that was supposed to liberate us from what is insincerely dubbed "the cycle of violence." Anyone who has ever watched the 1944 Abbot and Costello classic, Lost in a Harem, will recognize our predicament.A screwy cellmate promises to extricate the bumbling duo from an Arab despot's dungeon and they follow him round and round, in a circuitous course, only to wind up precisely where they had started. Child-like Costello, seemingly adrift in a setting he can't understand, protests that they're "still in the same place.""Keep quiet," Abbott scolds him, "you're attracting a crowd of people."In our own no-less loony reality, Abbot's admonition would translate into fear of arousing the displeasure of world opinion, which is perpetually primed to censure Israel should it become vexingly uncooperative and tell it like it is – Costello-style.www.sarahhonig.comDebunking the Bull, Sarah Honig's book, was recently published by Gefen.

19" monitors don't tend to have too high of a resolution so you should be able to play pretty much any games at max resolution on at least medium settings, but mostly high or max settings.

Marquis Wins 5th Straight, Padres Beat Cards 4-2SAN DIEGO (AP) - Jason Marquis combined with four relievers on a four-hitter to win his fifth straight start and Will Venable homered to lead the San Diego Padres to a 4-2 win against the NL Central-leading St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.
Marquis (6-2) has won five straight starts for the first time since 2007 with the Chicago Cubs. He allowed two runs, one earned, on three hits in six innings while striking out three and walking four.
Chris Denorfia went 3 for 3 with an RBI for the Padres, who have won three straight and five of seven. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 11th save in 12 chances.
Venable homered into the Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Deck atop the right-field fence leading off the seventh, his seventh. It came on the second pitch from Mitchell Boggs, who just returned from a demotion to Triple-A Memphis.

Description: Javier gets into some music; Javier also enjoys "getting into" cute guys, like Franko. Offering himself up, Franko knows just how big and thick Javier is. Better than music, the pair "groove" together. As the boys pet and play, Javier slides his hands down onto Franko's nice ass; guess who the bottom in this scene is. As Franko's pants just keep sliding down, the top shows us a little taste of what he'll be fucking. Working up Javier's thick cock, Franko uses his tongue well; even the foreskin gets special attention. Ready for more action, Franko turns and presents his ass to the top. Grinding, Javier dry-humps his partner and slaps his "monster," marking his territory. With this two-part Boykakke.com video, we give you a peak at the next scene, but I'm sure you know where this mammoth is "headed"; let's just say that not only does Franko's hole gets a sample, but also his taste buds.

Description: Guess who calls us for some work, Shinji. He was here a while ago, jerking, but this straight boy wanted to come back to JapanBoyz.com for more. We paired him with Yura who just worships boys. This video's not about romance, but it does show just what can happen under a skilled mouth and hand. As Yura works on Shinji, you can tell he's enjoying it, or at least his already hard cock is. Up and being blown, Yura also massages the boy's very sensitive nipples. And when his cock is deep throated, Shinji begins to moan. Yura puts his partner on his knees, jerking him before adding even more "stimulation." With precum oozing out and adding to the arousal, the pair gets comfy, as Shinji lays his head on Yura's shoulder. Watching Shinji closely, notice how he doesn't really want to look, but Yura has him on the edge; Shinji keeps one eye on his cock and the other one shut. Close, the boy starts pumping his hips. As he gives out a shout, Shinji blows a huge load that leaps into the air and land

Description: The first scene of Rio Cum Hunters opens with Leandro Cruz and Julian Real obviously cruising each other in some undisclosed locale in Rio. Julian is a slight boy with light skin who can't help but look like he needs fucking. After a proud exhibition of abs and pecs, Leandro and Julian start groping, swapping head, and enjoying each other's hot bods. Before long, though, what was obvious to us is obvious to Leandro and he's bellied up to Julian's backside. He gives him good, long fuck, too. Julian stays hard even while getting his ass banged. That's a good bottom! Leandro fucks the cum right out of Julian, too. Then follows up with his own wad all over the boy's back. Great start to a great film!

Then, I yelled at him for mistreating the other guys at the shoot and he backed down. Turns out that HE was acting the fool because Lucas CRAVES discipline and needs to be put in his place. And that's just what we did; we stepped on his bad attitude thereby harnessing his inner cock lust! Lucas said he wanted to be treated like a dirty little cock whore by the MaverickMen. Who were we to deny him the fantasy of a lifetime, lol!! We got Lucas warmed up with some strict rules and orders as to what was going to happen. We took him to a room where we could have privacy and stripped him down. We ass-fucked him in with a ten-inch electric vibrator till he was moaning and his eyes were rolling to the back of his head. We face-fucked him till he choked on our cocks and we railed on his hot little ass ti

Then, I yelled at him for mistreating the other guys at the shoot and he backed down. Turns out that HE was acting the fool because Lucas CRAVES discipline and needs to be put in his place. And that's just what we did; we stepped on his bad attitude thereby harnessing his inner cock lust! Lucas said he wanted to be treated like a dirty little cock whore by the MaverickMen. Who were we to deny him the fantasy of a lifetime, lol!! We got Lucas warmed up with some strict rules and orders as to what was going to happen. We took him to a room where we could have privacy and stripped him down. We ass-fucked him in with a ten-inch electric vibrator till he was moaning and his eyes were rolling to the back of his head. We face-fucked him till he choked on our cocks and we railed on his hot little ass ti

Description: The humble exterior of this desert yurt gives not even a clue as to the quality cock waiting inside. Aban Malik and Firas Hani are clearly about to indulge in the pleasures of the body in their desert shelter. From my vantage point, I don't know how they stayed so long across the tent from each other with those big dicks out and hard. It seems like torture, but the pleasure is clearly all the more enhanced by the waiting. When Firas finally gets his lips around Aban's prick, it's clear that it was well worth the wait. He works on the head with more patience than you can imagine but his fist is wrapped tightly around his own cock, making it clear that he is in ecstasy. He does a lot of licking and sucking and ball fondling before he finally sits down on Aban's big dick and gets down to business. Firas fucks himself on that big cock as if he's been waiting a lifetime and Aban looks as if he's waited just as long. The looks they exchange just make it all the better.

Description: another window we go to find another sexy duo passing the time with a JO show. Dhul Fiqar is working on his semi in front of Yussef who reveals that he's fully boned by the show. As Yussef slides closer, his eyes seem to beg Dhul for that prick. His pleas are answered as he slides his lips over that massive cock head and strips down so that he can play with his own bone while getting an afternoon snack. When it comes time for the fucking, Yussef's face seems to make it clear that he's had some cock up his ass before. He takes it like a champ and beats his own prick the whole time Dhul's climbing up inside him. He's hunched over and taking it like it's the only way he could imagine being. He's a great bottom and Dhul takes full advantage of his shithole. He nuts with Dhul still inside him only moments before getting his ass crack whitewashed with Dhul's sperm. It's a great load that runs all the way down his crack.
Description: There was a moment at the beginning of this video when Andy thought I'd asked him if he was worried. He still hadn't told his girlfriend about doing porn, and was about to get his first blowjob from a guy. But I'd asked him if he was ready; not worried. Regardless, the answer to either question was evident once I had my hands on his crotch. Andy's cock was rock-fucking-hard before the cameras were even turned on. At first, worried or not, the "new-ness" of seeing a guy sucking his dick must have taken a minute to process. At least that's the impression his face was giving. Before long, though, Andy realized that he was in for a blowjob that his girlfriend was never going to be able give him. Andy's eyes rolled into the back of his head as I took his cock down to the base. And when I told him to stand up and fuck my face, he didn't hold back. He must have been trying to control his cumshot for a while because Andy's cock seemed spring-loaded and ready to blow.
Description: Spying on your friend while he's in the shower and filming him on your amateur cam isn't right, but if you can see it all too, it's OK. The uncut cocks of these spicy twinks start bulging in a wink, then in less than no time you'll see them munching on fresh meat, and the cam keeps rolling all the time. This nasty peek freak gets rewarded handsomely, as the other lad gives him a long slurp job and swallows his load to keep this sex tape, but the guy with a cam tricks him and uploads it anyway.

gay porn
Description: Vince is a rare breed among straight guys. He actually has hair on his chest and let's it grow out! He props his muscular little body in the corner of my sofa, with his hairy balls and ass cozied up against the blue fabric. His plum colored penis gets stiffer as he strokes it gently around the head, his bicep and pecs flexing with each up and down motion. Up on all fours for a few minutes, I get the perfect view of his round, hair covered ass cheeks, which seem to bounce a bit each time he pulls at his cock. He exclaims, "Oh fuck, fuck", as jizz erupts from the tip of his dick and drips downward onto his bush. Several thick globs of cum remain perched in the thick black forest as the rest runs down the shaft of his cock onto his hand.
gay porn
Description: He continues to remove more clothing - shirt, pants, socks, and boots - until he's completely naked. Once he does, it's easy to see the outlines of his pecs, even though covered in a sexy pattern of chest hair. His crotch is even hairier with a thick patch of hair surrounding a thick cock, and more hair trailing down his swollen taint toward his asshole. He closes his eyes and rests his head on the back of the chair as he begins to breathe heavier. Suddenly his bright pink cock gushes a huge dollop of sperm onto his chest, leaping in a large arc above his fur lined body. Several more spurts dribble from his pee hole before another giant load sprays over his chest and shoulder, with some landing on the green blanket near his ear.
Description: The boys must have become cold in the water, but they knew a sure-fire way to get warm. One of the young Latino pranksters spread on the blanket telling his cute gay mate to kneel by his head and let him handle his engorged dick. Boy, did he work his mouth sucking the skinny boy stiff for some anal!

White House/Obama email information collection — it's getting weird
I received something peculiar in my email yesterday:
A few things to note:
1. The email informs me that someone left a comment on "bookwormroom.wordpress.com," a blog that has lain dormant for four years.
2. The Author's name is an obvious nom de cyber — Trimegistus.
3. The Author leaves as his email address "[email protected]".
That email address is the interesting part. I am not for a single minute claiming that Trimegistus is a White House employee. However, "[email protected]" is an email address with a history. The Obama administration created that address shortly after moving in, way back in 2009. The "flag" in the email address was not a patriotic reference. Instead, the White House was asking supporters to "flag" information that was "fishy":
The White House is under fire for a blog post asking supporters to send "fishy" information received through rumors, chain e-mails and casual conversations to a White House e-mail address, [email protected]
The best spin one could put on this bizarre White House request was that, as it pushed for health care reform, the White House was trying to stay ahead of the rumor mill. The worst spin was that the White House was trying to create an enemy's list, a concept with an East German feel to it.
Given the suspicion surrounding the email address, you can understand that I'm a bit perplexed that someone left this specific email address in a message intended directly for me (intended for me because the email address does not show up in the comments; it only reveals itself to the blog proprietor). Is someone hoping that, finding the comment confusing or the email address intriguing, I'll fire off an email of my own asking about it? Who knows? It could just be a prank — a real one, not a Weiner one.
I wouldn't have blogged about this at all, but for the coincidence of reading today that the Obama White House seems to have gotten confused about the purpose of the official White House website, and is using it to collect visitor's email information. You can read more about this blatant information collection tactic — which might also violate campaign laws — at Doug Ross' site and at Publius' Forum.
Keep in mind that the White House website is a publicly funded site, so you're paying to assist the Obamas as they build a database. Just be grateful, that (presumably) you're not being put on the enemy's list.

Claudia Rankine's Citizen Should Win the National Book Award
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Frankly, I'm getting a little sick of seeing beards everywhere. So I was thrilled to learn today that science is ready to back up my beard-fatigue, according to a story by BBC science reporter James Morgan:
The ebb and flow of men's beard fashions may be guided by Darwinian selection, according to a new study.
The more beards there are, the less attractive they become - giving clean-shaven men a competitive advantage, say scientists in Sydney, Australia.
When "peak beard" frequency is reached, the pendulum swings back toward lesser-bristled chins - a trend we may be witnessing now, the scientists say.
I mean, obviously trends come and go, and facial hair is no different. But it seems like beards have been booming for a long time now, soooo... what do you think?

When we last brought you Antennas Up they were presenting us with the mind bending clip for "The Awkward Phase," which combined wild visual editing and a blast of every stop on the color palette. This after the first clip for "Coming On," which featured a man in a horse mask running amok through the streets of Kansas City and crashing a photo shoot with sexy ladies and a wealth of balloons and confetti. It's pretty clear that Antennas Up is a band that does things in their own unique way, and for their new video "I'll Be Home For Christmas" they take the traditional spirit of giving and happiness and turn it on its head!
Antennas Up return with the scariest Christmas video of the year… and we mean that in a good way.
ReIntroducing… Allison Geddie
Allison Geddie is not your typical American girl. Born in NYC, Allison began her fascination with music and the arts. At twelve years old she was already sowing the seeds of what has grown into a love of composing and recording music. Schooling herself on artists like Ben Harper, Alanis Morisette, and Rob Thomas, she picked up her father's guitar and began instinctually writing her own songs.
After attending school in New Zealand, as a part of her film pedigree she traveled to Los Angeles, Germany, and even Afghanistan. All in all, her travels have taken her to over 30 countries. After her travels around the world, Allison settled back in Los Angeles and rediscovered her calling as a music artist.
At the behest of legendary producer David Foster, songwriter and producer Greg Critchley (whose credits include Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, Michelle Branch, and "High School Musical") enthusiastically took on the task of producing Geddie's debut album, Everything You Don't See, which features Nelly Furtado guitarist Mike Krompass, and Goo Goo Dolls guitarist Greg Suran. The notoriety was quick to follow, with song placements on ABC's The View and All My Children, opening spots for Blue Öyster Cult, Tristan Prettyman, and Justin Nozuka. With her single for "Wait," she has taken all of the layers of musical vulnerability and intelligent, thought-provoking lyrics to create a song with endless possibilities.
To help accomplish the sweeping grandeur of "Wait," Allison has enlisted the help of X Factor UK season 7 finalist, Storm Lee, one of the most unsung heroes of the music world with his contributions to everything from Diane Warren to Ozzy Osbourne to performing over 400 songs as a backing vocalist for Glee, to lend a smooth baritone to compliment her delicate soprano delivery. They trade verses with the strength and conviction of artists who have felt the weight of every lyric they sing. When they lock together for the chorus our hearts melt into our stomachs listening to the memorable hook.
Introducing Zach Bellas & The Company Band
Formerly the leader of the excellent punk-rock/reggae trio Groundscore, Zach Bellas returned as a solo artist, using his smooth tenor, and exquisite songcraft to produce pure and honest rock and roll. A seasoned performer, Bellas has played over 800 shows in 27 states since beginning his music career back in 2007. All of that vast experience shines through in his sure-footed sound. He's released five albums on his very own label, SMB Records, including his latest–Let Me Out–which is the first one credited to Zach Bellas and The Company Band. Produced by Frank Marchand (whose credits include work with Bob Mould and Nils Lofgren), Let Me Out is a non-stop, tour de force of rock and roll euphoria. HIP Video Promo is pleased to present the clip for its first single, "Hello".

Introducing Nick de la Hoyde
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Nick de la Hoyde is a triple-threat for the modern age: singer, songwriter, and rapper. And although he may only be 20-years-old, the handsome, fresh-faced de la Hoyde has walked a long road of unexpected twists and turns, complete with sweeping highs and crushing lows. At 15, following his dreams of a professional football career, he moved to Barcelona where he remained for 4 years. He first began rapping as an outlet to express his frustrations, and then moved onto writing lyrics and melodies to his favorite instrumentals. Soon enough, his passion officially shifted from sports to music, composing original songs with his brother Joseph de la Hoyde (de la Aurora, Monks of Mellonwah) and promoting them online where a loyal fanbase quickly developed and continues to grow. (His Instagram account alone has gained well over 60K followers in a few short months.) Catching the interest of Chicago-based Hip Hop producer Lemoyne 'LA' Alexander (R. Kelly, Aaliyah), Nick was invited to the USA to collaborate. The first fruit of this international partnership is de la Hoyde's outstanding debut single, "The Longest Way." HIP Video Promo is very proud to present the accompanying clip, in all of its stunning, widescreen glory.
Introducing Jelani Lateef
With a smooth and nimble flow and a sound that boldly brings back some of that classic boom-bap flavor, Jelani Lateef (aka J Fury) is one of the premiere, up-and-coming independent rap artists in Chicago. But the road has been long, winding, and difficult. After cutting his teeth in Chi-town's battle rap circuit, Lateef's interest in making beats led him away from the mic to work with other Chicago-based artists as a producer. Eventually, he began managing artists as well. Without knowing the business side of the music industry, however, many of these collaborations ultimately ended in a series of frustrating losses, setting him back to square one. Determined to soldier on, Lateef eventually got back behind the mic, and began his solo career. He formed the Manhood Ent. production company, and after a series of mixtapes began stirring up buzz, he released his first official album, My Soul to Keep, in 2011, making waves, opening doors, and setting the current scene. This past Summer, Lateef dropped the sequel–My Soul to Keep 2–and has recently released a brand new single and video that is sure to turn heads. HIP Video Promo is proud to present the wildly creative clip for Jenali Lateef's "The Lyrical".
PREMIERE: Phantoms "Broken Halo" Feat Nicholas Braun MUSIC VIDEO via EW.com
Are you ready for the ultimate runaway bride video? The clip for "Broken Halo feat. Nicholas Braun," the new single from the Los Angeles electronic duo Phantoms, condenses ambivalence about matrimony into four glorious minutes of boozing, sex, flames, motorbike rides, and fast food consumed while sitting on the curb. Nichole Bloom plays the bride with delicious abandon — and her flight from the altar is captured in all its turbulent beauty by director Ace Norton.
Phantoms is a relatively new act, but it's already begun to make waves worthy of Southern California. The duo has been featured in Billboard magazine, toured the country with Com Truise, and is poised to release its debut album. "Broken Halo" is a taste of things to come: a pulsing, seductive electronic pop song with an effortlessly catchy release. The sound is sleek and modern, but the compositional architecture is classic.
Check out the video here via EW.com!
Introducing Percy Way
Little is known about the mysterious singer/songwriter Percy Way. On his website, he modestly describes his sound as "a nice blend of pop and edgy rock guitars", and a short bio gives us only a glimpse of the man himself. It describes him as a multi-instrumentalist and producer who has been involved in a variety of musical projects over the years but has finally decided to take the reigns entirely: writing, recording, and producing his new solo project, in order to bring the songs into "a more intimate focus." He has recently released a brand new single, and HIP Video Promo is pleased to present the simple and striking clip for "In My Dreams."
Introducing Alvvays (Polyvinyl Records)
Rarely does a band come along that creates a sound so instantly soothing and blissful that it captures your heart before the chorus even hits. Polyvinyl Records latest signees, Alvvays, pull this off in spades, resulting in an extraordinarily joyous experience for the lucky listener. Delicately blending elements of 60's inspired indie pop and the sounds of some of the best heart-wrenching female-fronted alternative bands of the 120 Minutes era, within a year of their inception the Toronto-based quintet have already found their sweet spot. Think Best Coast meets Belle & Sebastian. Since its release earlier this year, the band's self-titled debut record has been met with universal praise, quickly establishing Alvvays as one of 2014's must-hear acts. Nylon Magazine calls them "…a complete collision of everything we already love: singalong lyrics, a guitar- driven backbone, and a sun-drenched vibe…" HIP Video is exceptionally pleased to present the band's bittersweet new video for their winsome single, "Archie, Marry Me."
