New Series - Albums of My Life

This is my new series - Albums of My Life.
I´ll do regular posts about albums that I used to listen to when I was a young boy, when I was a teenager and albums that I´ve been listening to for the past few years. Albums that remind me of events in the past, albums that make me think, albums that I can´t live without.

Irish Folk #2

Here´s another example of Irish music. I like this song. It was the first time I heard it when I saw this video. In our pedestrian precinct you see a lot of those guys. Some play the recorder, some the violin and some beat the drums or play Bob Marley songs on their guitar which actually isn´t very Irish but I love it nevertheless. I´m not used to so many musicians in the streets but I like it that way, here in Cork.

Worst Soundtrack Ever

A few days ago I watched the "cult film" Scarface. And I was really surprised at the soundtrack - negatively. To be honest, it was the most disappointing soundtrack I know. However, there are some soundtracks of movies I saw recently that I do like. I liked "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Death Proof", "Run Fat Boy Run", and the "Detroit Rock City" soundtrack. What are your favorite soundtracks, or the soundtracks you hate most?

Irish Folk #1

Almost every country has its own music culture. And I guess German "Volksmusik" has by far the smallest fan community. Irish folk music, however, has much more fans. And since I´m in Ireland now, I´ve been looking for some great Irish folk music stuff. How do you like this one?

Give A Man A Kick - Live in Cork

There´s a great pub in Cork, Ireland that invites bands to play there.
It´s called "An Bróg". On October 17th "Give A Man A Kick" will play there.
And the best thing is that it´s for free. And since I don´t drink alcohol,
it´s going to be a very cheap night for me. Check out my two favorite videos. Give a Man a Kick kicks a**!

Hip Hop Imitator

I came across this hip hop artists imitating guy called Aries Spears. Maybe you´ve heard of him. In this video he imitates the voices of LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z and DMX. And I have to admit - he really rocks! Let me know if you know some similar videos of him.

I WANNA BE #1: Jay-Z

I wanna be Jay-Z because...

- Forbes.com says he´s got 34 mio. dollars
- he´s not just a musician, actually he´s a songwriter, a record executive, a CEO and a president too.
- then I would be married to Beyoncé...

My favorite of the week: Jay-Z! What about you?

Very nice features at GetABuz.com are that friends and visitors of your site can leave a voicemail just like they used to leave typed messages. You can listen to them right from your website which is also a great feature. You can also record messages, leave a voicemail from a mobile phone. Also the options of prank calling are very promising. Their voice messenger can be embedded into MySpace and Facebook as well as many other social networking sites. Messages can be sent with music and even celebrity voices or just with your very own voice. Voicemails can also be set up as welcomes to a personal website. GetABuz.com is perfect for college kids but also for post-graduates to keep in touch. It´s also a nice thing to have for youngsters to prank call, and parents to listen to their child’s voice when they haven´t heard anything of their kids for a long time. So if you´re interested in voice comments for myspace, voice comments for facebook or voice greetings with music, then just check out their website and get it for your website.

V for Voice

Last night I browsed through the internet aimlessly once again. I went to youtube to listen to some Lynyrd Skynyrd songs. I came across the song "Simple Man". Great song, but even more amazing was the cover-version i found. Listen to this girl´s beautiful voice!

Trekstore i.Beat Organix

What do you think this tiny little mp3-player costs?
You can have it for about 24,000 USD. Isn´t that a bargain?!
No, seriously, what kind of millionaire would commission a trekstore mp3-player when he can have all the ipods and zunes in the world? With jewels and made of gold if necessary. What a cheap millionaire this must be...

iriver clix - Next mp3-Player Generation?

Can this mp3-player catch up with iPod and all the others?
The "iriver clix", like many other players of this generation, is for music, photos and videos. You can choose between a 2GB and a 4GB hdd. The cool thing about it is, that it comes with a built-in digital FM tuner which the iPod for example doesn´t have. The only interesting issue left is the battery life of this gadget. If it can´t keep up with other mp3-players then it might be uninteresting due to it´s price which currently is between $120 for the 2GB version and $185-200 for the other two 4GB versions.

Check out this new mp3-player at iriveramerica.com
