The final countdown!!!

There was a time when I thought this song could not be any more annoying.  I was so so wrong.  Hey kids, being in a band does not necessarily make you cool.

Churchill rocks out

On May 5, 2009, in Geek porn, Science, by Steve

I hate the auto-tuner.  If you can’t sing in tune, you should not be a professional singer (I’m looking at you Jamie Fox).  Auto-tune is just not very subtle cheating.  I am willing to look the other way, however, when it comes to Churchill.  This is just fantastic.

I think, as I’m sure many of you have, that I would be far more “legit” if I learned to speak Ying-Yang Twins.  This may finally be our Rosetta Stone.  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Cribs featuring the Ying-Yang Twins, with translation.

iBand

On March 5, 2009, in Geek porn, Video, by Steve

This is one of the coolest musical things I’ve seen in a while.  What I like about it:

  • It’s cross-platform. These guys broke out the DS and a couple of iPhones.  All they’re missing is a theremin.
  • They’re obviously working it out as they go along.  No way to get formal DS musical training.
  • It sounds good.
  • No matter how good they get at this, they will get laid less than the standard crappy bar band.

The Folk Prince of Bel Air

Kay Pettigrew puts out a pretty catchy acoustic cover of the theme song for Fresh Prince of Bel Air.  I miss Carlton.

Chucky Cheese Lollipop

On February 11, 2009, in Science, Tragically lame, Web Junk, by Steve

This clip is tripping me out.  It is a very compelling argument for why private citizens should be absolutely prevented from owning a Chucky Cheese animatronic band.  Frightening

Jesus is my friend

On January 18, 2009, in Tragically lame, Video, by Steve

Sonseed just blew my musical world view right open.  It’s not the Jesus ska that makes it great, it’s the other guitarist and the backup singers.  I would love to see their groupies.
