Like video? Love this

i dunno how long the site’s been around, but I was just introduced to it last night, so forgive me once again if I’m slightly behind the curve. But for all those of you who like interesting video clips – including an array of rare music videos – check out You Tube. At first glance it just looks like a dumping ground for kids to put up their lame homemade vids, but use the search engine and magic can happen before your eyes. I found a shitload of vintage Captain Beefheart clips, and some killer Frank Zappa vids, including one from the ’80s when he was on “Crossfire” and duked it out with some old do-gooders who would have liked nothing more than to have Prince’s “Darlin’ Nikki” banished forever. I miss Frank. The man wwas always ahead of his time, and that appearance just furthered the notion more. Anyway, You Tube allows users to upload videos as well (making sure to mention that they not upload any “copyrighted material,” but alas this is what the site thrives on. You just have to cover your ass anymore. Another fine way to kill evn more hours online.

Hi, I read ESDMusic and I get stoopid

Hey, too many jackasses reading my posts! Looks like some dude perchance caught wind of Pete Townshend complaining about how listening to music on headphones can lead to hearing loss (brought to you HERE by ME – I’m taking credit for inspiring the following idiotic story) has decided to sue Apple, alleging that the iPod can cause hearing loss. Get outside much, sir? Do you really think you’re going to get some money? Go out and get a job and MAKE MONEY THE AMERICAN WAY!!!! Oh wait. That is the American way. Hot cha!

Give your mp3 player some good drugs

Some of ye might be well aware of this site, but for those who aren’t in the know, you can literally spend hours getting lost in the mp3 section of WFMU’s Beware of the Blog site (as well as the site in general). Tons and tons of oddball mp3s, rare albums shared in their entirety, and lots more. If you’re looking for those really different things to hear, this is a great place to waste your days as well as fill up those iPods with all sorts of kooky things to enjoy. There are even links in there for WFMU podcasts if you want even more. This is what the Internet was made for, folks.

A sunken ship aboard a sinking one

Oh, that Britney! She’s going back to her roots, you know. Yes, fans, Britney Spears will be on an upcoming episode of “Will and Grace.”She’ll be playing a conservative Christian talk show host. I haven’t watched that show since probably its second season and I never cared for Britney, so here’s one dude who won’t be tuning in. I am sure, however, that this will be the first step in many of Brit’s new career now that she has a kid. Wasn’t taking care of K-Fed enough to begin with? As a side note, I befriended K-Fed on MySpace, but after leaving a comment on his profile saying that “no one’s gonna buy yer rekkid,” he promptly dumped me. That dude has over 20,000 friends on there. Jesus, can you imagine having to make up that many phony accounts?

Didn’t Tortelvis already do this?

Perhaps you kids remember the great band Dread Zeppelin who mixed Zep covers up with a splash of reggae and fronted by the great Elvis impersonator Tortelvis. If not, go look them up, it’s a grand time, indeed (they’re still around, too). Boy howdy then that another group has decided to mine the Zeppelin gold. This time around it’s a group called Lez Zeppelin, and they’re ready to rock you all over. I say this is a crap idea. Not for any other reason than the fact that we don’t need another Zeppelin tribute group when Dread Zeppelin was the epitome of that niche already. Plus, Dread had the whole Elvis/reggae twist to the songs. This is just going to sound like another Zep cover band, and when it comes to those, I’ll just stick with the original item, thank you very much.
