Alanis Morissette- Thank You



I will end the night telling the whole world "Thank you."

Sorry, I tried to find the official music video but I couldn't find it anywhere.
For anyone that doesn't know, the official music video is just Alanis walking the streets naked singing this song. And that is something to be thankful about.

Goodnight and Happy Thanksgiving!

Bob Marley - Give Thanks And Praises



Now as the night is here. Lets relax man. We be jammin.

The Thanksgiving Song by Adam Sandler



Since I am home sick and not going to see the fams, I thought I would pump up some Thanksgiving jams!

We will start with a classic!

Taking Back Sunday (New Song)

Best Places To Be A Mom by Taking Back Sunday (New Song)


 "Sometimes it takes some time to remember where you were headed in the first place and the people you intended to go there with. There's no hard feelings, just the future."  This was the quote at then end of a video on Taking Back Sunday's website in March. The video included a picture of 5 men with their eyes crossed out. It was obvious who these men were. It was the lineup from their first studio album "Tell All Your Friends." For most long-time Taking Back Sunday fans, this was the best news possible (It was for me). Then it was officially announced that the band was going to record again with that original lineup (even better news).  On November 16th, lead singer Adam Lazzara posted a link to this song with a working title "Best Places To Be A Mom." A preview of the album to come. I feel whole again.

The Beatles are now on iTunes


For the last 9 years, iTunes has been the main source of music distribution. It has boasted that it is the music store that has the most music readily available for download.  But one of the few artists that Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, has never been able to get his hands on, happens to be the all-time top selling artist.

This would be The Beatles.  Jobs and The Beatles (mostly Paul McCartney and the son of George Harrison, Dhani) have never been able to come up with a deal that both parties agree on.

Dhani Harrison made it clear that the disagreement was due to the fact that Apple promises that a song will never be more than $0.99 and they feel that the Beatles legacy should not be treated like any other band.  I couldn't agree more. The contract was in a stalemate.

Each day that iTunes went without The Beatles music catalogue, possible income was being thrown away by both Apple and The Beatles.  After realizing this, it finally happened.

On Monday, apple.com could hardly wait to release the good news and their homepage displayed the phrase "Tomorrow is just another day that you will never forget." Then yesterday at 7:00am PST, The Beatles picture was displayed on the home page and the banner read "The Beatles. Now on iTunes."

Is it just a coincidence that just six months after Apple announced the price for popular music tracks on iTunes would be raised from $0.99 to $1.29, that The Beatles and Jobs finally came to an agreement?

Who cares? What matters now is that the most popular artist of all-time is for sale on the biggest online music distribution store.

The whole Beatles catalogue is now available on iTunes.

And yes, each song is $1.29, but money well spent if you ask me.

MAC and the Music Revolution (W#6)






I had to do a Video Blog for my COMM 435 class and so I decided on this. I have used the Garageband software to record my own music and I know of many artists that have used this software or similar softwares to record their music. Garageband makes it possible for someone to turn their computer into a home recording studio. Do you agree with me? Is this the future of music recording? Let me know.
