the Onion

Somewhat related to Kurtz' previous post, the Onion is running a great series of articles on what may come of what we know today as E-A-R-T-H very soon (and they're probably not too far off by the way). If you don't regularly check out the Onion, or haven't been in a while, you definitely should check it out. You'll laugh your gludious minimus off.

iTunes and AAC files?

Is everyone using iTunes? If so then can we start using m4a aka AAC files in addtion to MP3s?

Summer 05 Mixtape (and MC Pee Pants)

Here's a recipie for a summer treat:

1) Take my favorite songs released so far this year
2) Add a dash of MC Pee Pants from Aqua Teen Hunger Force
3) Download the Zip file
4) Make sure you have iTunes (AAC files)
5) Create a playlist in any order your heart desires
6) Burn to disc and enjoy

The (three quarters) Black Eyed Peas

In the next few days, you will see a lawsuit filed against the Black Eyed Peas… by whom, you ask? Yours Truly. I will be seeking damages to the tune of five minutes and twenty-seven seconds (00:05:27) of my life (plus an undisclosed monetary amount due to punitive damages to my ears). Unfortunately, this time was horribly wasted listening to the song entitled “My Humps” off of their latest release Monkey Business. Even more unfortunately, I’m sure many other individuals have endured this song, so the worldwide damages are much worse.

I truly am disappointed in the Black Eyed Peas for actually trying to pawn this garbage off as music. I hope to god that this travesty is Fergie’s doing, and not Will I Am’s or any of the other (more respectable, musically speaking) members. I understand that in order to sell more records (especially to teenage girls) BEP added Fergie to… I don’t know, soften them up? Now, don’t get me wrong, I think (in close to all other instances) she is a good addition to the band. Having a good female voice can help. Not to mention Fergie’s visual advantages. But this song is just horrendous. Refer to: “…my humps… my humps… my lovely lady lumps…” This is what you call a song????? This is good song writing???? Are you serious here????? (these are rhetorical… answers should read: No, No, and Please God NOOOOO) How do you throw a song like that in, and then follow it with a great collaboration with (I think) Q-Tip and Talib??? It just doesn’t seem right.

Speaking of collaborations, the song “Going Gone” (Jack Johnson) is spectacular in my mind. Jack had this song on his second album, and it was pretty good, but the spin BEP puts on it is great. I suspect, however, that BEP merely used Jack’s voice from the original song, and placed it over theirs. Regardless, BEP really has a knack for great collaborations outside of the hip hop community. For instance, their collaboration with Papa Roach on their last album was a GREAT song. You’d never expect it to be, but it is. Also, they did a song with 311 (not on any albums that I’m aware of) that I can’t think of the name of. It is a remake of an older BEP song, I think from either Bridging the Gap or Behind the Front, with 311 playing the music.
Anyway, I haven’t listened to all of Monkey Business just yet; I only got as far as “Going Gone.” But that song “My Humps” just really humps me the wrong way. Anyone else? I mean, Fergie usually humps me the right way, but not this time.
