I’m not sure there’s a greater music video than this one of the Edgar Winter Group playing “Frankenstein”:
The description is: “Feel ROCK’s majesty condensed into 10 short minutes.” Here’s the play by play:
ryan: we’re playing music… in the 70s! ryan: keytar and sax. and that hair brad: you can’t play BOTH lame instruments! that’s MADNESS! ryan: oh, and he plays the drums too! ryan: edgar winter is my new chuck norris.

I’m pretty far behind on the blogging lately, let’s see…
Amazon launched their DRM-free MP3 download service - good news for anyone who hates DRM. The implementation is nice, the player’s decent. Things I don’t know: a) how my music got in there b) how they decided on $6.99 for the price of my album (which is a dollar more than 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’) and c) how much I earn out of the sales. Seeing as though I earn about $6.50 from each iTunes album sale I assume this’ll be significantly less riches for me.
I’m pretty into Hype Machine lately. My friend Ryan’s been bringing me up to speed on the blog house scene.

Of course now I’m thinking about writing my own as making web sites to enable my own laziness is sort of a passion of mine.
I think I could watch this Cadbury ad about one, maybe two thousand more times:
I think this is the first time I’ve ever been happy to hear Phil Collins.
