My New iRiver IMP-350 CD player
November 29th, 2009
I’m very happy with my new CD player.
It came with an older firmware on it, and supposedly the new ones will play OGGs, so I decided to upgrade.

Poor Franz
October 3rd, 2009
It’s a sad day when a random one-hit wonder band who stole your name gets a higher page rank in Google than you do.
Poor Franz Ferdinand. I’ll bet he’s rolling in his grave. He should Black (back)Hand that band.
Importing MySQL 1.4 Amarok data into Amarok 2.2 Nightly
September 28th, 2009
I was having a bunch of trouble today importing my old MySQL amarok database into the new nightly version of amarok I installed. The Amarok Wiki had a great section on how to convert a MySQL Amarok collection into an SQLlite one. This was the key to importing my old 1.4 collection into the new 2.2 nightly version of Amarok.
Iron Sky trailer and I’m on a boat!
February 20th, 2009
Here’s a really awesome movie trailer if I’ve ever seen one. It makes me wonder if this will excite the neo-Nazis…

A really cool music video follows (Warning: Lyrics are profane, and probably not safe for work without headphones):

Classical Rickrolling
September 9th, 2008
Sometimes, I want to hear classical music, but it helps if I can relate to the music being played and really get into it (see: John Williams). Walt Ribeiro recently has awoken me to some awesome arrangements like Pork and Beans and The RickRoll Song that he has produced. You should buy them here if you like them, as I did. Here are some nice samples:
Actually, truth be told, I bought Pork and Beans, and Walt was cool enough to notice and send me Never Gonna Give You Up for free! Please spend money on him!
The SixtyOne: An Awesome Free Music Site
January 17th, 2008
I love the SixtyOne. It uses a point-based system to allow me to vote up my favorite music, which accrues me more points when more people vote it up. It’s basically like digg for music. Not all the songs are free, but you can listen to the full versions of the songs on demand without buying them.
Try it!

Radiohead’s In Rainbows For However Much You’ll Pay
October 12th, 2007
Radiohead made an album recently, and you can buy it for however much you type in. I spent $5 on it, and downloaded it immediately. It made me feel good. It’s too bad more artists don’t do this.
I’ve got your PGP key, hot stuff
August 5th, 2007
I was listening to my music today, and I heard a line that I found hilarious coming from mainstream music. The song was Guarded by Monkeys by Cracker. It goes like this:
You are so beautiful
You should be hid deep in the jungle
On some forgotten island
I heard about you
I got your PGP key
I write you letters every day
You are so beautiful
You should be guarded by monkeys
You are so beautiful
Though, it should be GPG key IMHO ;)
Ding!

I was listening to music today, and I hear this:
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
The song is Skeleton Key by Days of the New.
Hmmm…I know I’ve heard that sound somewhere else…
Comment if you caught it too to let me know I’m not nuts. I’ll be updating this post with what it is when I’ve received enough comments.
Update
I give up. Here’s what it is. I hope Microsoft sues.
