Midnight Delusions? or GREATEST IDEA EVER!

OK so. while im on this incredible high that is my GENIUS.

I was surfing around youtube last nite (ok. 4 am) and watching vids when it suddenly dawned on me in a totally unrelated (crazy?…bah semantics) way.

I want to get a Ukulele. See, its brilliant in so many ways. Its pretty cheap, Its small and portable, it shouldn’t be too hard to learn with guitar experience, and its just totally sweet.

This is a pretty decent one and its about 70 dollars. not bad?

This ones a more ballin one that I am def not ready to commit to:

OK so thats not where it gets brilliant. So what am I going to do with a uke once i get it? ready?

…im gonna start a band.

A marginalized instrument band. That’s rite. Im gonna get together all those instruments that were given that cockeyed glance and looked down upon by “real” instruments and we are going to unite. and ROCK!

BAND SLOTS ARE OPEN AND AUDITIONS ARE NOW BEING ACCEPTED. ACT FAST TO CLAIM YOUR SPOT. MUSICAL SKILL NOT NECESSARY BUT ENCOURAGED. POSITIONS TO BE FILLED ARE AS FOLLOWS:

BAND INSTRUMENTS
Lead Ukulele: Poon
Harmonica: Dan Lee
Keytar with Synth Drums: TBD

808s and Heartbreak

Word’s out that the new Kanye album, “808s and Heartbreak” should be coming out earlier then expected. The original anticipated release was in December but Kanye has just recently bumped it up to November because he, “felt like it.”

It’s been said that this coming album should mark a different tone and slightly different style then what most people have come to expect based on his previous albums. I, for one, am thrilled. It’s nice to see someone that’s in the mainstream hiphop industry and not be afraid to try something that isn’t the same previous recipe for success.

Of course, this would come down to what Kanye’s definition of “different” is, but I am still intrigued nonetheless. Maybe its all a huge marketing gimmick. In any case, if you haven’t heard it yet, I’ve attached the single from his new album. Give it a listen and see for yourself. Click the little box by the song to download. Turn the bass up and enjoy!

Unnecessary FYI: 808s refers to the Roland TR-808 drum kit.

christian hip-hop sucks?

ok for years i have been against christian rap, not cause i disagree with the concept. i was against it cause most of the christian rap i came across was terribly lame.

now i’m not really into hip-hop/rap, but i know what does not suck.

i am giving christian hiphop another chance.

First Post/Songs Of The Moment

Hello there,

I know an official “first post” is supposed to be due, filled with a welcome and cleverness and such, but I just can’t deal with the pressure. So for now, as a celebration of this new joint endeavor, I would like to share with everyone these songs that I have been listening to in the past few days.

I took the time to arrange the songs in an order that would flow well. I also made sure the playlist is of burnable length. If you like a song, feel free to download it =)

In return, I invite you to bookmark or subscribe to an rss feed by clicking that little orange button that shows up on your browser, or use whatever you use to manage your subscriptions. If you don’t know what that means, the next time you are signed into your Gmail, click on “Reader” at the very top and Google should walk you through it. This is web 2.0, the internet should be coming to you!

Well, Enjoy! (and stick around)
