Sometimes you realise some things you’re destined never to be great at… this clip is one of those that induces that feeling..
Not only does this guy score 95%, he also taps the second solo around 2 minutes 20 seconds in… now I can tap solo in real life, but this is pretty sick…
I don’t think I’ll bother with the 360 version now… doesn’t seem worth it! 
Theres nothing worse than the day someone sells out. Whether it be Everclear featuring on a Gap advert and going on to “write” some of the worst Alternative Generation music of all time, Jay Leno pushing Doritos on “Bovine America” when he’s earning over $2 million a year, Jeremy Clarkson - a so called critic, advertising British Telecom proving his opinion can be bought (like BT could do anything good…), whatever… it just shows a sad side of every day life. Last.FM took that step today..
CBS have spent a £140m in the biggest web 2.0 transaction in the UK every, thus proving good things that benefit the public don’t last long, and when they do it only takes cash to “silence” the creators.. large or small.. everyone has a price…
CBS… i doubt they have anything other than fucking Joe Public with DRM in mind, also has major vested interests… namely because they had a large stake in the American Record Corporation, the parent of its former investor Columbia Records, renamed “Sony Music” in 1991. It reopened CBS Records in 2006 but Im sure it still has connections with the evil that is Sony Music. Given the massive pressure the RIAA is applying for royalties from the good (Pandora), the bad (iTunes) and the Ugly (The Pirate Bay), buying Last.FM - a site with 150 million users - gives them a massive head start and a direct stream into those already engrained in choose your own online radio.
The creator of Pandora.com dropped by after me suggesting the RIAA was sticking its cock right up its arse and fucking it hard… he clarified a few things and I feel somewhat happier that they aren’t going to get shafted; I wonder if the 3 fellow Brits who own Last.FM would be good enough to drop by and do the same.
I feel like Nostradamus, I just got my dates and names mixed up. Last.FM has just set itself up to co-operate with (i.e. get raped by) the RIAA and/or what the Record Industry wants (i.e. control of what we thought we were doing ourselves)… unfortuantely it dropped its pants and took a load right up the arse. We will see some “changes” soon enough… of that I’m sure! The first will be new registrations will need a post code - that will be cross referenced with your IP address and then with the backlog of P2P data the RIAA has been collecting for years, and before you know it, the suits are knocking on your door busting you for downloading “Metallicock” all those years ago…
The worst thing is, in a world of favours for favours, a company formally owning Sony Music, one that has ties with 20th Century Fox, Tristar pictures (a joint venture with another Sony company) and many other corporate ties, they’re really not going to want to rock the boat.. no, what they’re going to want to do is make us pay more so the big wigs can continue to sit around, smoking Cubans and playing golf. They jet around the Globe ensuring they reap what we sow, whilst I sit here in my underpants and blog (i.e. talk to myself) late at night, angry and tired from another back breaking day in the office.
This is another case of The Man stepping in and restricting this World Wide Web us nerds set out to create with the ideal of neutrality… don’t make us take it back you money grabbing mother fuckers… because we could, and if you’re not careful, it’ll happen any day soon!
http://images.delmorpha.com officially replaces Flickr as the number one location for my pictures. Having a whopping 250GB of storage it seems crazy to still be using anything other than my own server, especially when Yahoo will be happy to charge me $25 a year for “unlimited photos”*
I’ll be updating with all the photos i didn’t have enough space to put on my Flickr account soon!

Steves first Subcomic is coming soon called “Zee Workplace” and is asking for funny stories for him to animate. This first episode is of Steve and Neil in the office… Steve never makes the brews and slacks on YouTube most of the day, hence the cartoon and lol.
If you have any stories you want bringing to life in a short sketch just post a comment and Ill past them on to him… its about time he got that pencil out his arse and started using it!
