80s videos - a huge list of links to 80s videos on Youtube. Not just mainstream stuff either, lots of neat alternative stuff. [via]
Last night I recorded our practice onto my laptop. I threw a couple of the recordings online here. They're not our best takes of those songs but they're fun.
A billion months after I put I Don't Know What I'm Doing Remixed online for download you can now buy a $5 homemade CD-R of it in the little Brad Sucks Store. That's the kind of organized businessman I am -- ruthlessly capitalizing on every opportunity at my own lazy pace. I actually was toying with the idea of pressing it up or digitally distributing it, but in the end the task of getting permission from everyone, signing agreements and making sure everyone wasn't angry with me seemed like hell on earth. Oh yeah: and if you're a remixer on the CD, drop me a line and I'll send you out a copy. Thanks again everyone.
MC Hammer Blog: May 12: Chapter 11 - MC Hammer (on his blog!) recaps his history.
If you're looking for Brad Sucks tabs, liam and I have cooked up a few over here in the forums.
Keith Richards' brain is OK - probably one of my favorite headlines. In fact I would like status reports on the brains of all the Rolling Stones members.
Evolution of Dance - awesome six minute sketch by Judson Laipply going through the history of dance.
The Doctor Sings - Tom Baker (the most famous Dr. Who) recorded over 1500 words and phrases for BT (the British phone company) to be used to read people's text messages out loud. Now folks are making songs out of the clips.
Synthesizer Medley 1985 - Video of Thomas Dolby, Herbie Hancock, Howard Jones, and Stevie Wonder in a Synthesizer Medley at the 1985 Grammys. What the- [via]
Zach wrote in to tell me that he heard a version of my song Dirtbag in a Fark.com trailer mashup contest. The entry is by Mike Hindes and called Toy Story 2 Requiem. It's a hilarious mash-up trailer of the movies Toy Story 2 and Requiem for a Dream.
(15mb WMV) (Warning: there's some R-rated language.) Very awesome. It almost makes me glad I sat through 90% of Requiem for a Dream so I could find this extra funny. Almost. I'll never forgive that movie.
I also like how absurd the level of mashup-ness is getting on my music. "Hey, an Israeli remix of your song was used in a movie trailer mashup!" Say what now?
Gizmodo had a contest to make songs out of the sounds of hard drives failing. Very neat. Check out the write-up here. The winner is awesome.
That's Good Enough for Me - Amusing and interesting article on the death of Cookie Monster vocals in Death Metal today.
Grandaddy split up - Aw man, Grandaddy broke up. Sumday and The Sophtware Slump are great albums.
Mashistory Vol 1: Stairway to Gilligan - A good writeup on that Stairway to Gilligan's Island mashup performance. [via]
Top 50 Music Videos Of 2005 - lots of cool music videos from 2005.
Shock & Awe (Banned Cover Art) - a fat ton of controversial album cover art. I particularly like the Born in the U.S.A. interpretation, I had never thought of that.
Google Music Search - it's all right I guess. It has my album in there. But it's not knocking my socks off or anything.
LucasArts Soundtracks - the introduction to The Secret of Monkey Island is one of my all-time favorite songs.
I'm behind on blogging. There's an article on me in the new issue of Kill Your FM. They also did up a big graphic layout of my gear setup, which is pretty nifty.
A winner has been chosen for the Brad Sucks Online Collaboration contest, you can check out all the entries here. It doesn't say on the page right now, but the Morphine Mix won. I like the Crystal Beat Mix.
