NBC Sing Off? Pissed Us Off! Try These Notes For Size.

NBC’s “Sing Off” has gone and pissed us off!

Here are the facts:

1. A cappella is awesome
2. Copperplate is amazing
3. Not using Copperplate for an ACappella show was the worst idea ever, you might as well develop a show around kicking baby puppies, and that’s horrible!

Is it a coincidence that the three letters that are the initials for Copperplate Gothic Bold are CGB? No, it was on purpose, those are valid musical notes.

Is it a coincidence that Frederic Goudy invented beatboxing? No sir-ee-doo-bob.

Is it a coincidence that the perfectly shaped serifs used in Copperplate Gothic Bold are much like the uniquely crafted vocal lines used to express the underlying song in A Cappella? That’s easy…NO!!!

Is it a coincidence that the perfect temperature to enjoy CGB is 98 degrees? Or that the show’s host is Nick Lachey, big NO!

NBC, you missed the boat, big time. Not even T-pains appreciative song about you putting him on a boat can save you now. So cancel the show, try again, and next time think before you jump in the pool, the pool of Copperplate Greatness! This is a great start for you a courtesy redesign of your beloved host with a much improved simple but effective logo to promote your show. We just ask that you include Exit 245 next time.

A friend of the CGB Meredith Geary sent us a video of SNC doing their version of the 12 days of Christmas.

It’s a great video, great a cappella, and they used copperplate gothic bold. In the video they forgot the 13th day of christmas, Copperplate Gothic Bollllldddd. Future reference you University of Indiana folks and everyone else the 13th day of Christmas is Copperplate Gothic Bold.

A Cappella, MySpace and the Bostonians!!!

Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | Music | No Comments

The Bostontonians A Cappella are getting down to the CGB!

A Cappella music if you have never heard it is extremely important to the international music scene. It gives extremely talented people the ability to be superstars for the 4 years they are attending college and for the ones that can’t get away, the rest of the time they are in grad school. A Cappella also inspires students in high school and middle school to keep pursuing music as part of their lives later on in life.

The premise is that groups audition new members in the fall and spring as old members graduate. They spend between 3-6 hours a week practicing and they sing pop songs with just voices. It’s absolutely great, and we think that the Bostonians are great because they use Copperplate Gothic Bold.

So CGB it up friends in Boston, one of America’s greatest cities. Keep up the A Cappella greatness, keep rocking Quincy Market, and throw a tea bag or two in the water for us!
