Korn's Davis: 'We Were Dubstep Before There Was Dubstep'
An extremely lame attempt by Korn to try and make themselves relevant. The music really is terrible and you'd have to be missing a sizable chunk of your brain to enjoy this kind of garbage. This coming from a guy who had at least a mild interest in this band back in high school, when I presumably did have a sizable chunk of my brain missing.

Hopefully it stays that way... I'm not a fan of musicals and I'm a huge Bowie fan.

Jimmy Fallon's got quite the career going with his music legend impersonations... this is great:
I really got into the Doors this past summer when I read Ray Manzarek's book, and I listened to most of their albums for the first time. I definitely got a new appreciation for the band and their music after that experience. They were a band I had a hard time taking seriously before, most likely because of their association with classic rock radio, and being played ad nauseum... but these guys were true art rockers, and were really immersed in the counter culture of the time. The group's name comes from opening 'the doors of perception', and one way to do that was by taking LSD.
So to see the above video, and the juxtaposition of a group whose musical journey was toward higher levels of consciousness, and the theme song for a children's show that did a bit of consciousness raising in its own way, is nothing short of brilliant.
It's indistinguishable from a trendy clothing commercial, or her Gillette commercial.
The tracklist for this video is absolutely stellar, as Mr. Cespedes rides the seas of smooth from Cuba all the way to an MLB stadium, with the help of Christopher Cross' "Sailing"... seriously though, have you ever seen such an epic/hilarious/wtf video?
There's an excellent play by play of the video here... I know at least one non-baseball person who would become an instant fan if a certain local club added this guy, thanks to the now notorious pig roast scene at the end of the video.
Did you get any funny ones? Try putting in Cannibal Corpse.

This definitely makes the song more enjoyable and intelligible. The chorus is perfect.
I usually like to post music stuff, but I had to share this one... An internet pet peeve of mine is the ton of videos of news anchors caught saying or doing stupid things, so it's nice to have a feel-good clip go viral for once:

I don't think compact discs will disappear entirely until another format, possibly Blu-ray, takes over as the dominant audio delivery format. There will certainly be demand for high quality audio... Perhaps places like HD tracks will take off. There are a few problems with a site like this... files won't necessarily play on all devices, and even if you could, what's the point if you're going to be listening off of laptop speakers? You'd need a proper player, cables, speakers, etc etc.
Too bad for the CD, but the labels really shot themselves in the foot when they didn't drastically bring down prices with the rise of digital downloads... for the big picture on that story, you should read Steve Knopper's Appetite for Self-Destruction. Great book on what happened to the industry.
