Musical Siren

Many men, like myself, tend to shy away from female musicians. The reasons range, but for most men the sound of a womans voice blasting out of their car speakers wouldn't impress their friends, no matter how good the sound was. In confess that I am much like the rest of the male population in that respect, however I have discovered one female artist whose music I find quite amazing. The musical vixen I speak of is Regina Spektor, if you haven't heard of her I highly recommend you take a listen. Her music is often quite gritty and employs a mix of Rap, Folk, Rock and even Classical. The sounds blend to create a unique composite of amazing tunes.

Beyond "BOOM HEADSHOT"

To Pwn (Own), a definition: to utterly humiliate an opponent in any realm of competition, wheter it be real life (RL) or the endless world of internet gaming. No doubt many of you have seen the short clip of a bald man dubbed "FPS Doug" going ape shit while playing the ever popular video game Counter Strike. But there is much, much more to this world where video gaming and Pwning is the be all end all of human existence. In fact the short clip is only a small segment of an online show called "Pure Pwnage", of which FPS Doug is only a side character. The show is shot in the mockumentary style featuring a pro gamer Jeremy AKA "Teh Pwnerer" and behind the camerea his older brother Kyle. The show is currently in its second season and debuts its new episodes in live venues in multiple countries. The show combines satire and various gaming references to lovingly mock the world of gaming. The creators of the show, Geoff Lapairde(Kyle), a former Phd candidate and Jarret Cale (Jeremy) are both avid gammers and show off their skills at expos such as E3 and other public venues. I urge you, even if you do not play video games, to check out this refreshing break from the monontounous reality shows and the other trash on regular telivision today. The episodes are all available for online viewing at their website.

From the world of parody folk/pop/rock/hip-hop music...

Songs about racist dragons, confused identity, the issues of the day and not to mention a rap battle between the famed "Hip-Hopoppotomus" and "The Ryhmenoccerous". All this and more from one of the newest comedy series on the HBO network. The show, "Flight of the Conchords" features the day to day lives of two up and coming comic musicains in NYC. The two man band of the same name has been featured in a HBO half-hour comedy special and not to mention thousands of viral videos on Youtube, Break and other sites. The duo consists of straight man Jermaine Clement and the even straighter straight man Bret McKenzie. Through their use of dry satire, the New Zeland natives cease to suprise. The show airs on HBO Sunday nights at 10:30 PM.

YTMND of the moment

YTMND, an abbreviation for the phrase "You're the man now dog"(a line uttured by James Bond himself in the film "Finding Forrester") is a website that allows users to create their own web pages of animation with sound clips that come together using obscure moments from the media, TV shows and Movies. These sites are the ultimate in user created parody ranging from the topics of classic telivision shows like the original batman, to the subject of the YTMND of the Moment, current news. This weeks featured YTMND provides a witty combination of the overspeculation about Hurricane "Dean" and the rant that ruined one politicans run for the White House while simoultaneuosly cementing his place in history...

Radio Review

Marconi probably never thought that radio waves would be used to transmit the sound of a man vomiting egg nog into another man's mouth. This is precisely what the Radio duo Opie and Anthony are using them for. Along with veteran comic/author/actor Lil' Jimmy Norton, the hosts broadcast 5 solid hours of radio every day over XM radio and various terrestrial stations. The subject matter varies to every topic fathomable, and the manner in which it is delt with is unremorsefully brutal. This show is by far the most listener interactive show I've ever heard or seen; through the use of "Instant feedback" and the webcam program "Paltalk" the show stays constantly current with it's fans. This show cannot be explained with any amount of text, so I will attempt to use video. I suggest you take a listen via XM radio or check to see if your local terrestrial station carries the show.
