In honor of the King

As everyone knows, today is my older brother’s birthday (Happy Birthday, Chris!). On a side note, it’s also the day Elvis Presley died all those years ago. Now, I don’t usually pimp my own product around here, but every now and then I sit around and make music videos that I then upload to YouTube. Many folks have enjoyed my tributes to The Velvet Underground, my surreal clips for Billy Joel and Todd Rundgren, and the little girls totally loved my video for the “Totally Spies!” cartoon. Well, my latest endeavor is one called “Viva Fat Elvis.” It’s atribute to the King and hisfinal glory days in 1977. It hasn’t been rated well, and the comments are possibly more entertaining than the clip itself. Nah, scratch that. Bloated E.P. looking totally out of it is always funny. Anyway, enjoy the clip, the comments, and the groovy cheeseball graphics.

Viva Fat Elvis! (For comments, etc.)

Kazaa goes down

Score another point for the RIAA in its fight against illegal downloading. Sharman Networks, owners of the popular P2P software, have agreed to settle with the RIAA for $100 million and to go legit. The MPAA has also recently settled its litigation with the company as well.

As someone who has done his fair share of trading across these rogue networks over the years, there was a time when I was really gung-ho about these things and how they’d be around for a long time despite the RIAA’s efforts. I still feel this is the case, but anymore I personally couldn’t care less about my own involvement. The initial fun of the whole mp3 trading thing wore off a while ago, and with legit places like eMusic offering up a nice selection of albums anymore, I don’t mind buying the occasional album or song. Plus, I’m going to toot the horn for my ever-favorite La la that is still hands down the most amazing music trading community I’ve ever been part of.

‘Tallica sells out to iTunes

Metallica fans everywhere can now rejoice as the band who hates music thieves put their first four albums on iTunes, with bonus live tracks. Before, you had to buy each album as a whole in its digital format on places like MSN Music, but now, roll around in your choice of any of the band’s early songs.

If that’s not enough for ya, the band is also scheduled to appear on “The Simpsons” on September 10th on Fox.
