Not the side you usually see
I've followed John Mayer's twitter account for a while (along with about a million other people) and he has a quirky, fun, unabashed, slightly snarky style that I find amusing. His tweet on Sunday threw me for a loop: "Thank You Toronto....

Go ahead and dance, the others will join...
This makes me smile a lot. Just what I needed.
iTunes is garbage
I assume this is a widely held belief since there is no way this software is liked by anyone who actually attempts to use it. I have an extensive library of music, most of which was pulled from vinyl or CD by me, and nearly all of which I have laboriously...

I say again, the ukulele is the instrument of happy...
851 ukuleles and their owners rocking together. Now *THAT* is a jam session!
ukes = happy
Science 'rocks'!
A rock song about mitochondria? Okay. At least it is fairly accurate... http://scienceblogs.com/worldsfair/2009/05/quite_possibly_the_only_song_d.php
Neat.
A friend just forwarded this to me. Very cool. "Stand by Me" performed by musicians around the world from SKAT on Vimeo .

ukulele + Beatles = win
http://thebeatlescompleteonukulele.blogspot.com/ Just so incredibly cool I can't describe it. All 184/5 Beatles tracks recorded with guest artists and ukulele. They've released 4 so far, and I like it. Some won't necessarily be magical, but...

John Lennon
John Lennon penned or helped pen some of the most influential music in modern history. 28 years ago, he was killed, but his music lives on. Boing Boing has a post today about John and Yoko, and the video that accompanies it is pretty powerful -- almost...

Shout out to Dad
I am pretty sure Dad doesn't read the blog, but I had to throw this out there, because it just made my day, and I think he would smile. I have my iPod sitting on my desk hooked up to some old amplified computer speakers that just plug into a 3.5mm...

Damn emotions...
Ask anyone who's had to be around me lately and they'll tell you it's true -- I'm wound a little (a LOT ) too tight lately. There are lots of things contributing to it, but we'll just leave it at: my emotional state isn't the best...

I love my iPod -- I don't like iTunes
I recently joined the iPod set, getting myself an 80GB video iPod. In short -- I love it. I have an older Rio MP3 player that I can put a SD card in that will still get used for running and whatnot, but the iPod is quickly becoming a go-everywhere, gotta...

The Zimmers
This is so strange I am not sure if I should laugh, be frightened, or just shake my head. It is interesting, that seems certain.

Old school (and laughin' all the way)
I was just digging through my mp3 pile -- things I've collected from CD's I've ripped to my computer, music from games and online places like homestarruner.com, and even a few vinyl albums we put into digital format to preserve (and make it...
Music Mashups
This is pretty interesting . Some of these mashups are actually pretty good. Certainly, some of the producers of this content are incredibly creative -- Gnarls Barkley meets Supertramp meets Rockwell? Seriously, who'd combine those (1970s, 1980s and...
