Chad Vader sings Rebecca Black's Friday (parody)

Did I need to add parody? Not feeling very serious yet this Friday. I think it's time to go search for #occupy. Hmm. Throwing in that hash tag just messed up the search results for someone… 😉

Thanks +Shawna Bergen and +Jen Light for the post.

Swamp Blood by The Legendary Shack Shakers

Continuing with "WAKE UP FRIDAY!" 😉 Okay, last one. Alas, posting two vids is as close as I'm going to get to a concert with Shack Shakers and Gogol Bordello (see last posts).

I saw these guys in concert quite a number of years back in a dive in Illinois. It was awesome. Although, I felt very out of place without a wife-beater t-shirt with cigarettes rolled up into the sleeve. Still, nobody killed me.

Trans-Continental Hustle by Gogol Bordello (Live)

I just heard these guys for the first time this morning. Not a lot of depth, but I'm guessing the Mona Lisa is only a quarter inch thick too. Get it? See what I did there with depth? Ah, should have slept more.

Anyway, WAKE UP FRIDAY! I'd love to see these guys in concert with The Legendary Shack Shakers. How awesome would that be?!

Artist Matthew Ebel — Record industry execs and marketers, take note

First off, I'm not affiliated with +Matthew Ebel in any way; he just impressed me. Not only does he "Get It" with social media and customer interaction, but his songs are worth paying for — the ones he doesn't give you for free.

Check out his sites's welcome page (link below). Listen to his tunes on his site, or go to YouTube. Sign up for his e-mail and he will give you five songs DRM free. He alludes to sending you fun freebies in the postal mail and is even playing with a text notification system for letting you know when he is playing in your area. If you are web-familiar at all, you'll seen in seconds that this dude "gets" the new media, and especially how it relates to music. Anyone working with social media should take a peek, not just record execs and marketers as I said in the title of this post.

Icing on the cake — why you know he's on top of it. I posted a song of his on my Google+ stream. I posted the same thing to my vanity blog. Within a day, Matthew had left a nice thank you and link to more of his music as a comment on my blog.

It's here if you want to take a look. http://www.ransackery.com/everybody-needs-a-ninja-by-matthew-ebel.htm

Very welcoming and not at all spammy. He got me on his e-mail list. And after visiting his site and getting on the list, I was impressed enough to want to tell you all to check him out. Whether it be as a musical fan, or someone who works with the web, you really should take a few minutes and check him out.

Let me know what you think.

Android tablets + data plan = IPAD WIN

Get a freaking clue, Android tables + data providers!

Buy an Android tablet for $500 – $600 plus $50/month for two years, or an iPad 2 for $500 plus $20/month only when needed. Game might as well be over.

Motown Tribute to Nickelback

I must have been living under a rock because I never saw this or the anti-Nickelback sentiment that was going on. Hey, I just thought it was creative. They should have shortened it to about two minutes, though. Something about the same thing droning on just goes over better with guitar and rock. Could just be me. 😉

Space Zombie Christmas music video by Mark Garvey

Survive the first 50 seconds and you will not be disappointed.* Oh-Wah Oh-Wah Oh-Wah! Insert a funky western(?) back-beat and you'll be humming the chorus all night long — bet you a dollar.

Oh-Wah Oh-Wah Can I carve the turkey with my laser knife? ah ha yeah yeah wooh!

*Of course, you are going by my benchmark on disappointment. I also enjoyed Bad Wolf by Duck Sauce. You have been warned. 😉
