The Next Wizard Rock?
So first, a couple prefaces:
1. One of the most gratifying things about the nerdfighter community and Brotherhood 2.0 and everything is the many communal videoblogging projects that have sprouted up this year. And one of those projects, fiveawesomegirls, is a group of (awesome) young women who live around the country and use videoblogging to keep in touch.
2. Some of the five awesome girls are also wizard rockers (with band names like The Parselmouths and The Moaning Myrtles). Wizard rock is a genre of music in which people sing about Harry Potter.
Songs about books rock, but you know what really rocks? Songs about your books. Members of the fiveawesomegirls wrote and recorded both of these songs about Looking for Alaska:
Long Live Nerdfighter Rock!!!

OMG! I love those songs! Especially the second one. It was so pretty.
I bet that in no time at all there's going to be a NrockStock and it's going to be awesome.
Hey, people,
I so loved the songs. But more than that I enjoyed watching you all enjoy each other. I just turned 50 this year, and I have children who are your age. Look around you at your friends. Hold these memories dear.
So great. The last one would make a lovely addition to the movie soundtrack when it comes out. She captured the tone of the novel perfectly...
Wow! I love the Moaning Myrtles! I have their Toilet Humor CD!! I will have to watch fiveawesomegirls now that I know wizard wrockers are involved!! Also, great songs about Alaska.
is it just me or are the first two videos the same thing? john is overpuffing the growth of johngreenrock.
liane's song is completely amazing & makes me cry.
i love the other song as well, & it's so nice to watch your reaction...you're so visibly touched. what an honor, to have really great people be so inspired by your book...must feel good :)
I feel bad for Colin... and since I do, well, it seems I'll jump on the bandwagon and expand this Nrock totally stolen from rosianna, but its perfect to all your books, not just Alaska.
I have no musical talent, but I can be lyrical, and I posses poetic prowess. Sounds like a good first youtube video to me... and once its made, someone with more musical talent can feel free to add and alter if need/want be.
Those girls and incredible and amazing.
I wish I was more of a musical person.
I wish I got to play a song for John Green in what seems to be his front porch.
I wish I got to play a song for anyone in any kind of porch.
Any way to get those as MP3s?
I would listen to those all day long.
