Jack’s Mannequin are creating a special music video for their powerful single “Swim.”  The lyrics, music and video are about keeping hope alive and growing in the difficult times that the world is now facing.  The video is designed to inspire strength, courage and perseverance in the face of all obstacles.

The band will be shooting a music video for “Swim” in June and want fans’ artwork in the video. Within the context of the song, the word “Swim” is used as a metaphor  for “hope, perseverance, courage, determination and strength.”  Andrew McMahon and the band are asking members of the fan community to create pieces of artwork that feature the word  “Swim” and illustrate, in any way chosen, the meaning behind the word.  They can be represented in an abstract or representational manner - any way the artist sees fit, in any medium the artist chooses!

Head over to JacksMannequin.com to find out all the submission details.  Deadline for all artwork is May 29th.

Released in 2000, Capitol/EMI’s Classic Sinatra has sold over two million copies in the U.S. alone and has been certified double platinum by the RIAA. To mark this achievement, on June 2, Capitol/EMI, in conjunction with Frank Sinatra Enterprises (FSE), will release a brand-new companion collection, Classic Sinatra II. Featuring 21 additional signature tracks, including 15 from the legendary concept albums Sinatra recorded for Capitol between 1954 and 1961, various singles, and a previously unreleased recording, Classic Sinatra II will be available on CD, at all major digital service providers, and www.sinatra.com.

Classic Sinatra II showcases a selection of Ol’ Blue Eyes’ most loved recordings from his Capitol concept albums, including “Moonlight In Vermont,” “Pennies From Heaven,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” and “All Of Me.” In addition, the set features four 1950s singles: “Love And Marriage,” “(Love Is) The Tender Trap,” “Learnin’ The Blues,” and “High Hopes.” Plus a 1956 recording of “Memories Of You” and a previously unreleased recording, “This Can’t Be Love.”

During his lifetime, Sinatra won 10 GrammyÒ Awards. When awarded the GrammyÒ Legend Award in 1994, he was introduced by U2 singer Bono, who said, “His songs are his home and he lets you in, but you know that to sing like that you’ve got to have lost a couple of fights. To know tenderness and romance you’ve got to have had your heart broken.”

Sinatra appeared in 58 films and won three Academy AwardsÒ, including an honorary OscarÒ for The House I Live In. He performed thousands of tour dates around the world, starred in his own television show and numerous specials, earning EmmysÒ and a Peabody AwardÒ. Sinatra was saluted by The Kennedy Center Honors (1983) as a cultural icon, and was awarded the Presidential Medal Of Honor (1985) and the Congressional Gold Medal (1995), Congress’ highest civilian award.

Born Francis Albert Sinatra on December 12, 1915, Frank Sinatra was a titan of 20th Century entertainment, with record-breaking successes in both music and film. With a legendary career spanning more than six decades, Sinatra was truly “The Entertainer of the 20th Century.” Also known as “Ol’ Blue Eyes,” “The Chairman of the Board” and “The Voice,” Sinatra has sold more than more than 150 million albums around the world, and racked up 31 gold and nine platinum albums (including three that went multi-platinum), one gold single, and two gold and platinum videos in the United States alone. He is the only artist to chart in Billboard’s Top Ten for seven consecutive decades.
