    My first vinyl album every was Michael Jackson. Lived a strange life, but there’s no denying the talent and vast influence he had on about 3 generations of music fans.

    Prob the best MJ track of all time and a little underrated by many…

    Michael Jackson MP3s

    From Wikipedia:

    Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the “King of Pop” in subsequent years, five of his solo studio albums are among the world’s best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).

    In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as “Beat It”, “Billie Jean” and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as “Black or White” and “Scream” made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.

    One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time”—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era—and the sales of over 750 million albums worldwide. Cited as one of the world’s most famous men, Jackson’s highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades.

    • DJ Jazzy Jeff shocked after being booted at P&L District - Kansas City Star » Wow. I mean. Racism or sound levels? It all seems a little odd. On one hand, why would you invite the guy to perform if you didn’t want hip hop played? On the other hand, if the venue owner’s asking you to turn the volume down a notch, why wouldn’t you just do it (better than leaving and disappointing the fans)?

  • Lil Jon - Crunk Aint Dead

    Guinness Book of World Records Largest Diamond Pendant on Earth

    Just kidding!

    Amusing WSJ article on the culture of bling. You know, as in “bling bling.” The coining of the term is credited to Lil Wayne (see UrbanDictionary.com). Basic point of the article is that many (not all) in the hip-hop scene have been downgrading their bling wardrobes due to the recession. Not coincidentally, we’re seeing a decline in new rap tracks focused on the topic of having mega amounts of money. A welcome trend.

    For 2 years now I’ve been lamenting the fact that at some point in music history it seemed like at least 25% (though at times it seemed like 90%) of the hip-hop tracks I came across was nothing more than some dude rhyming about how much money they have. I mean. Alright already, we get it (the ironic thing is that many of the fringe rappers going on about money probably will end up going broke).

    Fortunately, in a twisted kind of way, our friends on Wall St. finally had their own special version of a ponzi scheme unravel, giving the world a personal finance wake-up call. No doubt, though (in the USA anyway), many Americans unwittingly participated in the scheme by blinging their real estate portfolio and buying houses and/or condos they could not in a million years pay for. Thus, bidding up real estate prices for the next guy until one day the not-so-rich people started saying to themselves: ”Hey, wait a minute, I can’t afford this place. Eh. Screw it. I’ll just stop paying.”  Which then got the marginally-rich people to start saying to themselves: “Hey, wait a minute, why did I buy a 1,200 sq foot 2BR condo for $1.2 million again? That was stupid! Eh. Screw it. I’ll just stop paying.” And so on and so forth.  Nice job.

    Ok. Off my soap box and back on topic, recently, the dearth of music tracks about money, bling, and all that has been on the decline. I say good riddance. Hopefully, we can all now get back to making real music. You know, with danceable beats and original lyrical topics.  In the mean time, in case times are tight for you, I suggest trying coupons. Seems to be all the rage these days:

    Coupons vs. Jewelry Searches on Google

    Coupons vs. Jewelry Searches on Google

    Or, as mentioned in the WSJ article, you could always raise some cash at this site.

  • You know how your Mac buddies like to tout the beauty of their Mac UI? Admittedly, to me, that’s the one nice thing about Macs. The UI is pretty. And the standard Microsoft Windows UI , while not ugly, is BORRRRRRRRRRING! Being a PC guy that spends probably over 60 hours a week on a computer, it helps using a computer with an interface that’s nice to look at as well as functional. I’m always on the lookout for ways to make my Windows PC more pleasing to the eye. Here are a few tips for those of you who want to pimp your Windows visual experience.

    Here’s a couple screen shots of my Windows XP desktop/UI (I’m using XP, but the following tips should be applicable to Vista users as well).

    This is my home desktop PC where I do most of my music production. You’ll have to install some software that’ll run in the background, so I recommend at least 2 GB ram so your PC performance doesn’t take a hit.
