The Hype Machine

It's been awhile since my last post; I have been completely bogged down with school and work so I haven't really had much free time to spare. But, amongst all of that, I still found something new to me on the internet that I would like to share.

When I was young I would go to this website called PunkRockVids.com to find all the new and up coming music. PunkRockVids.com is still around and I do advise you to check it out, but this new site I've found blows it out the water as a new music finding entity.

The site is called "The Hype Machine" and it works by compiling music blog posts and allowing the user to scope out the new music that is out there. There are many great features, like the ability to vote on the song as a favorite, buy it directly from what ever source you would like, and going directly to the blog in which the song came from to get the whole scoop on the song. If you are into new music as much as I am, then you're going to love this website.

They also have a radio program which showcases the best in new music. I have it embedded at the bottom of this post so you should definitely check it out.

Well, thats it for now.

My Revolution Playlist

In light of the great response I received from my previous post, "The Top 10 Beatles Songs of All Time", I thought I would make another music list post. However, this time, I thought it would be cool to make a playlist of my favorite Revolution based songs. Now before you go putting me in a box, I am no Che Guevara follower nor do I believe in Communism or any other thing your favorite news station says about people who question the government. I believe democracy is definitely the way to go, IF the people exercise their right and let their voices heard. I still, however, believe that everyone deserves the basic necessities of life (i.e. food, shelter, health care, clothing, etc.) and that our government is not giving that need to everyone. Everyone is not born equal, nor are they born with equal opportunities to succeed at life, so we should at least supply everyone with that which they need to survive. It's easy to say that we are slipping into the bowels of socialism on this issue if you

THE HEALTH CARE DEBATE!!

The debate over health care has come to the for front of a lot of debate over the last months. With Obama's address to congress last week, the issue is being talked about more and more. On my Facebook I put up a status which I said "Free Health Care For All....Period". Well, needless to say I got some good feedback both for and against the issue from my friends and I would like to share that with you. Now, granted, some points made are questionable, but I still believe there were a good amount of credible problems that were addressed from both sides of the issue. The names of the people (except me) have been taken off for their benefit, but there wording is unchanged. After reading what they have to say please feel free to write your own comments if you think that we should have a Universal Government run Health Care.

Obama Deception [Video]

I need some opinion on this video. I found it yesterday as I was killing time and I've been thinking about it ever since. The video itself, talks about the "New World" order which is lead by organizations of the richest of the rich who control politicians (including Obama) like puppets to sell there objectives.

In the course of watching this video, I found myself wanting the narrator (talk show host Alex Jones) to be wrong so bad, but some how when I would play back what he said in my head, it still seemed quiet plausible. So, with that said, I want to know what you think about it. Do you believe what he is saying or not? Do you think that what he is saying is complete crap, or do you think that he is telling the truth?

Top Ten Beatles Songs of All Time

Share

I, like a lot of you out there it seems, love The Beatles. And with the new Rock Band devoted to nothing but The Beatles, I thought it would be cool for my first real blog post ever to be a list of what I think is the top 10 Beatles songs of all time.  These songs aren't necessarily my favorite of all time, but instead what I think are the most popular, influential and/or moving of all the great Beatles songs out there. This list isn't based on anything but my on personal opinion so if you think that I've got it wrong in anyway, feel free to leave me feedback in the comment section. With that said, lets get started......



10. You Never Give Me Your Money

The reason why I picked this song is simple, I just love it. If you've never heard it, then that means you've never sat down and listen to Abbey Road all the way through as well. If this is the case, then I advise you to acquire Abbey Road in whatever means you would like and listen to it from beginning to end. It is by far one of the best albums I have ever heard and I am sure if you enjoy The Beatles music at all, it will be yours as well.








9. Day Tripper

There are many different reasons I think this song deserves to be on this top 10 list. From its obvious sexual innuendos with lyrics like "She's a big teaser, She took me half the way there now" to the rumors that the song itself was actually a play on words about Lennon's weekend LSD habits which he was said to be introduced to in 1965 when this song was released. Not only that, it has one of the most unmistakable opening riffs there is,  as soon as you here it you know what is it.








8. I've Just Seen A Face

Off their "Help" album, this song has had a new resurgence thanks mostly due to the new musical/movie "Across The Universe" were it is one of the staple songs sung by actor Jim Sturgess. While the version from the movie is very good, the original keeps more of that country twang that the heavier movie version just doesn't have for me. Its also one of my girlfriends favorite songs, and every guy knows he can't leave his girlfriends favorite song out of his top 10 if he doesn't want to be in the dog house later.








7. With a Little Help From My Friends

This song has taken many forms over the years which has kept it in the spotlight for quiet sometime. From the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album from wench it came, to Joe Crockers eight minute heart wrenching rendition of it at the Woodstock '69, to its rebirth yet again in "Across the Universe", this song has stood the test of time and is undoubtedly one of there best. Everyone needs a little help from their friends at sometime in their life, and I think this song really captures that moment.
