The Presets

I always love to discover new great music and I think I did with an Australian band called "The Presets." They are an electro band with some great vocals and contagious hooks. I'm not so great at writing music reviews so I'll just post the video of one of my favorite songs. The song is "My People" off their new album "Apocalypso"



The video is kind of trippy which is always a bonus too!

I <3 Banksy

Perhaps you're not familiar with the British artist Banksy, but you certainly should be! He is basically an incredibly insightful, talented, socially conscious graffiti artist (I know it sound like an oxymoron but believe me it's not). Here's an example of his street art. Well I recently discovered that he and a friend, that is the epic producer and one half of Gnarls Barkely Danger Mouse, went into a store bought 500 copies of Paris Hilton's CD "Paris" altered it and then put them back on the store shelves. No one even noticed until they had got the CD home, and the best part is no one returned it! Here's some of the doctored album art.
They also remixed the CD so it's basically just 40 minutes of the same beat with Paris randomly saying her ubiquitous catch phrase "That's Hot" and some hilarious sound bytes that just show how ridiculously dumb and spoiled she is. For those of you interested you can download the CD from our good friends at The Pirate Bay. Just search "Banksy" and download the result "Paris Remixed by Banksy and DM" (They even have a how-to if you've never downloaded torrents before). Enjoi!

Happy Earth Day

One more video in honor of Earth Day. The song is Timebomb by Beck. The video is amazing. It kind of makes me ashamed to think about all the resources I consume\waste. I like to think I'm relatively eco-friendly but I took an ecological footprint quiz and even though I have my doubts about some of it's methodology I still think it was fairly approximate estimate. It said I need 14 acres to support my consumption habits. To put that in perspective if everyone had the same consumption level we would need 3 planet earths to support the current population! The sad thing is that the average American needs 24 acres to support their consumption habits. Something has got to give in this country!

Jane Says

For my first post is the video for the Jane's Addiction song Jane Says. It's one of my favorite songs. I think I could literally listen to it until my brain revolted and left my skull.

New Blog

Well even though I plan on having a grand total of three people reading my blog I figured I might as well use google's memory to keep track of the random stuff I find on the internet and the other things I feel like writing about. So with out further ado...
