Amy Rose stopped by this week. I hadn’t seen her since Anime USA last year. After talking for a little bit she decided she really wanted to dance, so I let the camera roll while she did her stuff. Look at her go! Youtube Link

Ubiquitous Piano Video Part 2: We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (81)It seems that Garageband loops in produced media are much more prevalent than I ever imagined. Last week I pointed out the Loop “Asian Gamelan 1″ in a J-Pop song. This week I found the exact same loop somewhere I would have never expected it - ON DOCTOR WHO! Youtube Link.
*cue theme music*
WHOOOOO Weeeee ooooooooo Weeeee oooooeiiiiiii

How Not To Use GarageBand - Doctor Who: The Unicorn and the Wasp: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (90)I had some company over today, we were discussing the finer points of Final Fantasy VIII, specifically the song Eyes on Me. I brought up my playlist and as I clicked play I was assaulted with an almost unbearable image.
Which I will now share.
And with that image in your head, Goodnight.

I’m chatting with some people at Anime USA about potentially doing a Panel this year. How would you, my dear listeners, feel about such a prospect? I could probably do something exciting, maybe about the podcasting process, but I think Tee Morris may already have that well covered. Or it could be a showcase of the weird, Japanese and macabre. (Ok, maybe not so much that last one.)
I think I willl ask this question in greater detail in the next coming podcast. Stay tuned. Oh and on an unrelated note: I’ve been using this great little wordpress plug in called “photo dropper” which searches creative commons licensed images and makes me seem more interesting than I am!

I’m man enough to admit I listen to J-Pop on occasion. In my perusing on the internetz, I grabbed Leah Dizon’s debut album. It’s nothing special, your standard overly polished super-sugary J-Pop. However, what caught my ear was a particular song Are you feelin’ for me? - the groove seemed very familiar.
As it turns out, the highly original album is using easily identifiable GarageBand loops. Check the Video Podcast for some comparisons. Edit: youtube link, please rate!

Quick shout out to the guys over at Eeeper’s Choice podcast. It’s good to know I apparently have international listeners. It further belabors my concern that perhaps I should drop the “Northern Virginia” from the podcast name as I’m so much bigger than that. Right?
I have quickie podcast in the pipes that should be out soon (next week?) and then I still have all the loveliness from the Sakura Matsuri to edit. Stay tuned.
