Now, all these songs are awesome in way or another. None of them will ever be heard on 3SN, which is a shame, but I wanted to pay tribute to my favorite novelty songs. (NOTE how it says MY favorites)
#5 Windows Sounds
Apparently this was made when one dude was just bored and only took a couple of hours. I am pretty sure this would have taken me years
#4 Veggie Tales - Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
Yes, I know after a certain age it is not cool to like Veggie Tales, but this song is the BOMB... Fo sho... This is the only Veggie song on the list, because let's face it, I do not want it to be a Veggie Tales list
#3 "U2" - Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes
Honestly, people would pay good money for them to record this song, and imagine it live... Amazing really
#2 Songs Made Using Mario Paint
There is so many of these videos out there. Hit up Youtube, and you could find at least a hundred of them. I still cannot believe (like with the Windows Sounds video) that people are just that bored to play around with Mario Paint all day. It takes talent, which I do admit, but it also comes at the price of one's social life.
#1 Portal - Still Alive
I think I have heard this song, about fifty times. No joke. I know it word for word. HOWEVER, if you have this game and have not beat this yet. Run away. Like go on Wikipedia and look up the history of the Star Trek or something, because I do not want to ruin the amazing ending for you

Family Force 5's New Album
To say there was a lot of pressure on the group to live up to their first album was understatement. Everywhere I go I find people who are in love with it. So when it came time to write/record the new album, let's just say things got intense. Here's what Soli (lead singer) had to say...
" "Wow, Dance or Die is out in stores now. This is so crazy to me! It's actually in Hot Topic and Best buy unlike our last record that no one could find or buy. We made the decision to put this out on our own and it looks like it is working! Thanks you peeps for liking the record so much. I had a couple of breakdown moments in making it. If you know who the Beach Boys are then you know of a guy named Brian Wilson….yeah he went nuts a few times in the studio. I had a few Brian Wilson moments. I broke down and got mad at my producer as well as Chapstique and Crouton. It's all a part of making art I guess and being passionate about it. Crouton and I got into it bad about vocals and stuff but we figured it all out in the end.
Everything is cool now but this record compared to Business up front/party in the back was just harder to do. I just had the pressure of knowing that we have to top our last record and not alienate all the people that liked our original sound. We decided to go less hip hop and more dance-y with the beats this time around. I think it is working and the record sounds more mature but seeing 3OH!3 this year on Warped made me miss hip hop all together. With that being said 3OH!3 and Cobra starship agreed to do some remixes for this album. We might release it in early 2009. I am sure we will get some haters saying this is nothing like Business up Front but as a fan of Madonna and David Bowie- like them, I too want to re-invent. It keeps it fresh to us as a band. I think it works for us. Some bands can't get away with it….*cough* PANIC AT THE *cough* DISCO.
Anyway, I can't stress enough that it rules to be in my little house with my little family. It's good to be writing all of you also. I am a very happy person at this time in my life. Thank you God for showing up and making my life awesome!!
God bless all of you,

All Digital?
So, I have come to the point in my life, where I am trying to decide whether or not I should go all digital with my music. It's not that I hate CD's. It's just to much money. The only thing stopping me is what service to use. iTunes? Napster? Yahoo? Right now, I am leaning more towards Yahoo. They do not have the crazy Digital rights that iTunes has, and iTunes as a player is very bloated. Yahoo, on the other hand is... well... Yahoo. Not so sure if I can trust them. With Napster, it's more I do not know to much about them, and they would just be my fall back choice if anything
Decisions, decisions...

3134 day and COUNTING
In case you have never seen this before, this is Noah K. Since January 11, 2000, he has taken a picture of himself everyday. He has inspired many others to do the same. I have thought about it, then I looked at my camera. The thing takes something called... film?? and it has to be... developed?? I do not understand it, so maybe when I get a digital camera I will try it. Anyways, his site is HERE if you want to take a look

Basbeball Talents
So I am not going to lie, when it comes to baseball, I cannot pitch. Throwing I can do, but when it comes to getting the ball accurately over the plate without hitting the batter in the head, I am not your man. Instead you should be looking for this guy...
