K is for Karaoke… aka buy this album

Samuel Febres — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 22:15:02 +0000

If you haven’t heard of Relient K before, this might not be the best album to use as an introduction, but definitely a fun album if you’re familiar with the songs they’ve covered. A good starter album to check out, I would recommend Mmhmm. You can buy it at Amazon.com or stream it at rdio.

This post isn’t about Mmhmm though. It’s about covers and Relient K’s new album, Relient K Is For Karaoke EP. It’s got 7 cover songs ranging from Justin Beiber to Cyndi Lauper. Good fun stuff worth checking out. Listen to the audio streams from rdio below, and if you dig, go ahead and buy it.

Everything is a Remix, Part I

This video is done very well. Check it out if you have an interest in art appropriation, in particular, of the musical variety.

Everything is a Remix from Kirby Ferguson on Vimeo.

Remixing is a folk art but the techniques involved — collecting material, combining it, transforming it — are the same ones used at any level of creation. You could even say that everything is a remix.

No Excuses

When I see this, I’m embarrassed at myself for every excuse I’ve ever made in life. This dude is going hard and he’s got it harder than most of us but he’s not letting that get in the way. Wow.

World Cup fever is upon is. How can you tell? The sound of Vuvuzela horns coming from South Africa, that’s how. The USA slipped past England, quite literally with a tie. Here’s a quick video to commemorate the event. Robert Green just let one slip right by him into the goal which gave the USA a tie against England (England was highly favored to win the match).

Enjoy.

Show Your Support NOW!

You see it on twitter, Facebook, any other online destination that semi-matter. The world isn’t perfect and full of so many problems. Oil spills in the gulf, fighting in Jamaica, a Gizmodo editor’s house door bashed in by police because he paid $5,000 for and broke a stolen prototype 4G iphone. So many issues, that sometimes it’s hard to get the word out to everyone. We NEED to get the word out. But there are so many great causes to support online, how can we limit ourselves to just one or two or even three at a time? There are just way too many causes that need our support.

I have a solution for you. Using the power of the twibbon, a twitter ribbon (available for Facebook as well), you can now support ALL the wonderful causes in the world with just one twibbon.

With this twibbon, you can let the world know that you truly care and support their cause, because you support ALL causes. Not only that, but you can encourage your friends to do the same. So what are you waiting for?! Support everything now!

It’s their fault for bringing their kids into a battle

Samuel Febres — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 22:10:14 +0000

With the advance in technology, these soldiors could not tell the man was carrying a camera?

“It’s their fault for bringing their kids into a battle.”

Despicable. I cannot think of anything else to say not only for the actions, but for the attitudes and contempt for life. I did not see a battle in this video. I saw a massacre.

Sweet Dreams

Samuel Febres — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:25:23 +0000

I’m not one to normally ‘have’ dreams so when one comes along and I wake up remembering it, I’m usually pretty excited about it.

Last night’s dream was definitely one of the more memorable and exciting ones I have had in a long time.

Here are the details I remember.

In the dream, something happened or something I did (I can’t remember or didn’t know) caused me to start getting chased by these guys (I think there were 3 of them) with swingable (bat-like) objects.

I was able to get away safely from them, and arrived at Peter Boulware’s house where he let me in and I met with a couple of other guys. Once I got there I discovered that the guys who were chasing me, had decided to go to my house and take Natalie hostage. They held her and a small party of people hostage in my house because they could not find me.

I was briefly able to speak with Natalie and I told her not to worry and that we would get them soon and to not tell the guys anything.

We then began plotting on how to rescue the hostages inside Peter’s house. Then I woke up.

So that was my dream.

The last movie I saw was Shutter Island(youtube trailer), because I’m sure a few of you might be thinking to ask me what I last saw. I watched it on Thursday night, 3 nights ago.

So, have you had any strange dreams lately?

Armistice (Live from The Armistice Tour Japan) by @MUTEMATH

Samuel Febres — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:00:17 +0000

I love this song. It’s the title track from MUTEMATH’s album, Armistice
. I really enjoyed hearing it live in Atlanta last fall when I caught them there. It was a little weird at first listen, but it had a great jam and groove. I love what they did with it in a live setting.

MUTEMATH is definitely a live band. Their albums are great and I have loved them all, but if you haven’t seen them perform live, you’re really missing out on a great show, teamwork and musicianship.

Check out the video below of Armistice from their Japan tour.

Lazy Sunday: Drawing with Sam

Samuel Febres — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:33:47 +0000

Inspired by Shelby’s tweet, I made a drawing. Which then led to Nat asking me how she could do that, so I showed her. Then she made these drawing 1 and 2, which made me slightly regret showing her how to make a drawing. Then I made another drawing, well, because it was fun and a lazy Sunday afternoon. This is the process. The final product is below. Enjoy.
