    1. E Ha’i Ana Wau by Green Light Go (lyrics)
    2. Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova
    3. Filter Factory by Dee
    4. Funky Dancers by Antigone
    5. Habanera by East Village Opera Company
    6. Johnny Negro by Quad Riot (lyrics)
    7. Little of your Time by Maroon 5
    8. My Alcoholic Friends by The Dresden Dolls
    9. Outta my Way by Damone

    So head back up to the Music Player link and open it up! Leave a comment, and don’t steal. If you enjoy the music, support the artist.

  • Quad Riot lyrics!

    Thanks to Johnny Saunders, member of Quad Riot, I’ve got the lyrics to their song Johnny Negro… in case anyone needs them. You can buy the song through iTunes, or their Fandango link.

    I will hopefully try to get the lyrics to Ctrl Alt Del soon. :P

  • My Favorite TV Characters

    Okay, so I was watching an episode of Desperate Housewives on Sony (Entertainment Television), which had no Bree – AT ALL. The episode sucked so badly, I felt sorry for it. Seriously, the best character of the show is Bree hands down, without Marcia Cross, DH will drop down on ratings. So, in the light of this crappy episode, I wanted to make a list of my favorite TV characters, in no particular order~

  • Debe ser sexy

    Traducción de un artículo “Sexiness a must for today’s lady singers” por Nekesa Mumbi Moody. (link aquí)

    Ella fue un “gran talento,” una joven cantante con maravillosa voz que escribió bellas canciones. Pero no era una belleza, además era plana y tenía sobrepeso para empeorar las cosas.

    Recordando a la estrella aspirante, la ejecutiva musical, Jody Gerson sigue sintiéndose terrible de pensar: “Nunca encontrará disquera, a pesar de ser fabulosa.”

    Gerson podrá sentirse aún peor después de la salida de la noche del miércoles de Melinda Doolittle de “American Idol.” En la industria musical de hoy, las chicas del montón no necesitan presentarse. Sex appeal fue una vez considerado un bonus en una mujer, ahora es prácticamente un requerimiento.

  • The Music Vid-Turned Short Film Invasion!

    Well, my music video knowledge is very limited, but these are a couple of the trivia that I know by heart:

    • The first EVER music video aired on MTV was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by, if I recall correctly, The Bugles.
    • “Thriller” by Michael Jackson was the first ever Music Video-Turned Short Film.
    • The first ever Music Video I remember watching is “Remember the Time” by Michael Jackson – another short film/music vid!

  • Marit in Stylus!

    Here’s an excerpt:

    What’s your impression of American pop music?[…]

    […]But often when I’ve turned on the radio here, I find it very beat-driven and repetitive, somewhat hypnotic, and that’s not up my alley.

    She’s a good musician and performer. She’s got what to brag about, haha. Can’t wait for new material. :D

  • P2P, Torrents, Legal Downloads, Oh My!

    Okay, I’m sleepy. It’s 5 a.m. but I won’t be able to sleep if I think of forgetting about this when I wake up. Tuesdays mark “new CDs and DVDs” day, I should know, I was the one going on a shopping trip every Tuesday to get my favorite music and movies in Canada. Don’t do it here in Peru, mainly because there is not “new merchandise” day that I know of, and things just don’t get here in time.

    Anyway, for anyone – I am the ideal consumer. If I like your product, I will likely buy it. However, products have been sucking lately… also because I hate thinking Blu-ray discs and HD are on the market now, so studios are not releasing two-discs DVDs anymore.

    But let’s talk about music as a more general example. (more…)
