Now officially psyched

September 18th, 2009

I was originally not all that psyched about DJ Hero. After watching a few videos of the various mixes in the game, I was like, “ok, I’ll probably get it.” Then I saw the following:

This game has officially been upgraded to “Pre-ordered on Amazon”

Go read this.

Sir, you can’t ask to not be seen as a racist when you say things such as:

Blacks Using 8-Bit Music To Entice Youth

and

I’m worried that this rapping mongrels want to brainwash our children to be the next gangsta thug. I’m love blacks, I just don’t like their hipped hopped culture.

I wish I had the faith in humanity to believe no one would take this guy seriously, but well…I know better. I wonder if the concept of me being an ivy league graduate working for MS is too much for him to grasp. It would probably just eradicate his mind to know that I’ve been listening to hip hop and rap since I was a teenager. How can anyone be successful under such conditions, especially being black. Shouldn’t my “hipped hopped” (wtf does that even mean?) culture prevent me from succeeding. And I won’t even begin to start on his “x-tian” (I refuse to acknowledge him as a Christian) values. His responses in his comments are so anti-Christ it’s actually painful.

Oh the internet, allowing me to see how retarded humanity can get since 1997.

As an aside, you should check out the “satan” music. It’s pretty hilarious. How anyone could take this seriously is beyond me.

1000 Recordings Six Pack

January 7th, 2009

Well I promised I’d write up my opinions on the various albums I’m listening to as I go through 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die. So, after taking my time to get started, I am ready to write up the first six pack. Hopefully, it won’t be too much longer than 6 at a time, but well…you may want to get used to this…

8-Bit Christmas Music?

December 27th, 2008

Some of the tracks…a little weird, but some of them are just amazing. Personal favorites are “Icarus! the Angels Sing”, “Kraid, Rest Ye Merry Mother Brain”, and “Carol of the Belmonds.” It’s probably good I found this now as I will file it under Christmas music and not drive my friends nuts listening to this till next year.

Begining the Journy

December 17th, 2008

So I bought the book,1000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die, and have been reading it for a couple of weeks. So far, it’s really interesting to read, but something was clearly not fully right. I wasn’t listening to the Albums. I was ready about all of these amazing recordings, but I wasn’t fully grasping the brilliance of some of them.

So now, I’m rectifying this. I’ve already downloaded all of the ‘A’ artists that i can get with my Zunepass. While it’s not all of the recordings, it’s a place to start. This is going to be interesting, but a lot of this stuff sounds pretty tight. Plus, if I want to make good music, I need to listen to the best, right?

So here we go.
