Basshunter

The new Basshunter album came out yesterday. <(^^,)>

As many of you know, I'm really into electronic-dance music. Its not something that has really caught on here in the states. Sure we've had some hits make it through, like Such Great Heights, and Starry Eyed Surprise etc.. but it has been and continues to be mostly a European and Asian thing.

Basshunter is more club-ey with a throbbing beat that definitely is not for everybody. But this album is mostly English (accented but not bad) which might draw more people than his previous work. If you like this sort of thing check it out. I've listened to it 4 times already, its great.

SpiTunes

On iTunes you can make your own mix and share it with other users. I've enjoyed browsing through other users' lists, and finally decided to share one of my own.

I call it SpiTunes (lame pun sorry) its mostly electronic (i.e. techno) movie themes. (Like Bourne or James Bond themes). My favorite song on the list (and actually what inspired me to compile the mix) isn't from a movie at all. It is the 2nd song If I Survive by Hybrid.

Just thought I would share it. Happy New Year! Drive Safe!

More Weird Al

I have wanted the latest Weird Al album since it came out last fall. I finally bought it today because it was 20% off. You too can get Straight Outta Lynwood from iTunes for $7.99. In fact iTunes is selling many best sellers with a $2 discount.

Check it Out.
(You'll need iTunes to veiw link)
Other than White and Nerdy, my favorite song is I'll Sue Ya. Its a parody of thrash metal and is hilarioius. (press play below)

Save Net Radio pt. 2

I wrote earlier how the RIAA was trying to impose HEAVY fees and royalties on Internet radio stations. These pretty much amount to sanctions to drive a particular sector of of the market. Its just wrong. Being a fan of Internet radio, it torqued me off a little too.

Due to an enormous response, Senators Ron Wyden and Sam Brownback have sponsored the Internet Radio Equality Act. This would limit the royalty rates imposed on Internet Radio to similar rates that other broadcast formats pay; Killing RIAA's attempt to force anything 'Internet' and 'music' into bankruptcy.

If you agree with Internet Radio paying similar rates as other broadcast formats you can write to your senators and ask them to co-sponsor the bill. Go here to get your senators' contact info.

I realize I've posted 2 rants in 2 days. I apologize, I generally try to keep things lower key. It just happens that two things that I care about are going on at the same time. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Do I creep you out.

Amy at Mish Mash posted this. So I, being the Weird Al fan that I am, have blatantly stole her idea and am posting the video too. Its awesome! To me it reminds me of the creepy song that Clay Aiken did a few years back, "Fly on your wall" , or whatever he called it. Al even sports an Aiken-like do. So I am really curious to know if that is what he was trying to hint at. Anyway enjoy the vid that I stole from Amy.

Edit: According to Al's website this is a spoof of Talyor Hicks, the last American Idol winner. I watched the video again and that is definitely a Taylor Hicks hairdo. My bad.

Do I Creep You Out

White and Nerdy Part 2

Ok so this is like 3 or 4 posts just for Weird Al. The video came out and I had to post it. This video cracks me up, I love the Donny Osmond cameo and the spoof of the Star-Wars-Kid.

White n' Nerdy

My buddy Alpha Fighter just hooked me up with this. It is another Weird Al song off of the upcoming album. The site this is embedded from won't keep it up for long, enjoy it while it lasts!
You'll need quicktime to hear it

Tea Party

I've watched this video enough for it to merit its own post.

Please Download this Song

I've been a fan of Weird Al since I was 14.(some people say that I'm still there) Anyway, Weird Al has a new album coming out. On it is, "Don't Download This Song", so of course he is offering free downloads of the song from his myspace page. Its the best entry into the Downloading-Music-Debate that I've heard (and laughed at) so far. Check it out.

Edit: Watch the video of the RIAA chasing down a little kid here.
