Why Must I Cry

In the 80’s, it was Denny “Blazin” Hazen, then in the 90’s it was Eminem. For this decade, I would like to nominate this guy for taking the title of “Lyrical Genius Of The Decade”. His voice is also quite remarkable.

Don’t Be A Douche… Stop Piracy

Jack Black is pretty funny sometimes…

White And Nerdy

I have to thank my old roommate Tracy for this… she apparently thinks of me whenever she hears this song. haha Great.

The RIAA/MPAA should take a note here… I never heard of this song until Tracy told me to go find it on YouTube… and I just purchased the whole album via iTunes […]

Good ol’ Gary Brolsma has a new numa numa video… (you can find his original one over here)

UpdateI actually bought the song from iTunes Music store. It’s catchy.

Glacier National Park - Many Glacier Hotel

In case any of my friends were wondering if I dropped off the face of the planet this weekend, I was in Montana in the Glacier National Park area for a mini-vacation and a hippie music festival (Babbfest). The music wasn’t really my cup of tea, but I had something to do with marketing […]

Tanya Andersen vs. RIAA

I know this is old news for people that have been following the RIAA and MPAA lawsuits, but it’s new to me (now that I’ve been dragged into it, I’ve been reading all I can find). This entry is more of a bookmark entry for myself.

Some interesting stuff that I may find useful for […]

The Wrong Guy Kewney

The BBC was doing a news piece on the Apple music vs. Apple Computer case and they were trying to do an interview with Guy Kewney, but instead they accidentally pulled his cab driver into the interview.
“I am very surprised to see…this verdict to come on me because I was not expecting […]

Denny Blazin’ Hazen Video

The more I watch this guy, the more I realize what a lyrical genius he is… He’s good. Real good.

Average Homeboy - Denny Hazen

I think this guy might actually be serious…
You can thank Julien for bringing this glorious video to my attention.

Learn To Play Guitar

This guy seems to be coming along fairly well with his “Guitar For Dummies” book.

Neverland Ranch Shut Down

Today is a sad, sad day for the entire world… Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch was shut down today…
Michael Jackson has been ordered to shut his Neverland ranch by California authorities who have fined the pop star $US169,000 ($230,700) for failing to pay his employees or maintain proper insurance.
Jackson’s sprawling ranch in the central California foothills […]

The Coldplay / Magic Numbers Ninja

Okay… it wasn’t a ninja that broke into my house to put Coldplay and Magic Numbers on my iTunes like I had previously thought.
I got a full confession from Bobby this afternoon.
Although it was worth it, because he was the one that turned me on to Mylo, Röyksopp and Gorillaz… so all is forgiven. […]

Coldplay and The Magic Numbers

How in the F did Coldplay and Magic Numbers sneak into my iTunes/iPod? Somehow I have the full albums! They have been there for like 6 months, and been to lazy to delete those albums (they do suck). Coldplay are a bunch of whiney bitches.
I think someone broke into my house and […]

Cat Piano

What gets me is the guy that invented this thing probably spent months “perfecting” it. What an excellent use of his time while his friends were out inventing useless things like a telephone or steam engine.

In order to raise the spirits of an Italian prince burdened by the cares of his position, a musician […]

I Know These Guys

I don’t know why I thought this photo was funny enough to make a whole post about it… but I’ve known these guys (brothers) since they were wee little lads in high school. Don’t Nick and Drew look like a happy little crew?

If you are bored, check out their band.

France Legalizes Peer To Peer Networks

It seems French Parliament has legalized the use of peer to peer networks to share otherwise copy-written music and movies. Now they are just trying to figure out if they are going to impose a $5/month tax to users.
This is the best reason I’ve ever heard of to move to France.
The […]

The Chronic - what? - cles of Narnia

MP3 Ringtones

Why do people pay $2 or $3 for a cellphone ringtone of a song? I don’t get it because most cellphones these days lets you just use an MP3 as a ringtone. Get a freeware/shareware application that lets you cut a certain part of a ringtone (no point in having a 5 minute […]

The Hand That Feeds

Trent Reznor was supposed to play at the MTV Music Awards next month, but there has been a change of plans. MTV would not allow him to play his hit song “Hand That Feeds” with the backdrop being a picture of president Bush.
Interesting how political music is… Personally, I had no idea that the […]

Stream XM Radio Online

Okay, so I’m addicted to XM Radio (satellite) since I bought my truck. I didn’t think I would use it at all, but it came with a 3 month trial (like a crack dealer… give you enough to get your hooked) so I tried it out. To make a long story short, my […]

Numa Numa (Mai Ai Hee)

This isn’t new (someone sent it to me about a month ago), but it’s pretty damn funny. I was reminded of it today when I was coming home from playing frisbee golf, and the XM Radio was playing the song. All I could think about was this guy lip synching the song, so […]

Michael Jackson Begs To Sleep With Boys

This was kind of funny (in a weird way). The mother of a boy who alleges that Michael Jackson molested him, testified that she allowed her son to sleep with Michael Jackson after Michael Jackson begged and pleaded (also sobbed and cried for the record) with the boy’s mother to let him sleep with […]

iPod Photo Shows CD Artwork

I just noticed that my iPod Photo shows the CD cover art for MP3 files that contain the info. That’s pretty cool if you ask me.

Call 911 - Van Halen Might Show Up

I’m not sure if it’s strange or cool, but David Lee Roth is training to be an EMT in New York…

iTunes Music Store

Dude, let me just say how happy I am that the iTunes Music Store is around now. Before the music store, I would order a CD online, but get tired of waiting for it to come, so I would use Napster to download the album so I didn’t have to wait. Anyway, long […]

Team America, Fuck Yeah!

I went to the movies on Friday with Yelena and we saw Team America. This is quite possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen in my entire life.
If you just want to be entertained and aren’t caught up in being “politically correct” it’s one damn funny flick.
One of the best parts was the […]

Xbox Media Center

Had a little longer to play with the Xbox Media Center from my previous post, and this thing just gets cooler and cooler the more I dive into it.

It has Mplayer built into it so it basically can play any audio/video format without problems including streaming content
Audio visualization (like WinAMP)
Organizes music, pictures, video, programs, etc.
Shows […]

60GB iPod With Photo Functionality and Video

Rumors are running rampant these days about a new 60GB iPod that Apple will be releasing in the next 30-60 days (it’s claimed to already be in production).
New things it has/can do:

60GB hard drive (40GB was the previous largest)

Higher resolution color LCD screen

iPhoto synchronization for storing photos (I wonder if this means there is a […]
