For all of you country music loving fans out there, here is a little parody of Garth Brooks’ Thunder Rolls video. It was done by a comedian named Remy, of course I have no idea what his last name is.

Anyway, despite the fact that he’s got only one name I still think you should let him entertain you for the next 4 minutes with this video about eating at Taco Bell.

I happen to have been invited to attend a very special Cisco Systems awards banquet during which Pat Monahan (lead singer of the Grammy winning band Train) did a private concert for the roughly 400 people in attendance. Seeing how I was sitting 10 feet from Pat and I happened to have my little camera with me I filmed a couple of songs (hope you don’t mind my sharing this one Pat!).

Now, before you get to watch the video I have to share the funny story behind the video. Seal was originally scheduled to perform at this event, but one day before he called in sick. It just so happens that Pat was on his honeymoon one island over on Maui, and somehow the event organizers managed to talk him into taking a break from his new wife to entertain this group. Clearly the only reason for someone to do this would be because he’s just a nice guy and willing to help out in a crisis. Thanks Pat!

I keep wondering two things, why does the RIAA continue to persecute people, and more importantly why do people do stupid enough things to keep getting prosecuted?

That organization exists for the sole purpose of suing the pants off of people, but they can only do so when people leave plenty of evidence about their activity - namely hosting content on their computers and allowing others to download it. Most of the time it seems these foolish people aren’t even aware that what they are doing by running Kazaa, eMule, Gnutella, or some other file sharing application puts them at risk.

But why in the world would anyone share their music, movie or software collections via open, anonymous connections? Especially when there are other virtually risk-free alternatives? (By the way, know your rights if RIAA comes calling.)

Dammit, this just needed to be shared!

It’s a little known fact, but I can sing every single word of The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground and sound just like Shock G. Hmmm… come to think of it, how do you know I’m not him? After all, he was always in disguise…

It’s official, Live Earth was the largest media event in human history with over 2 BILLION people watching across every continent on the planet. In case you are feeling caught up in the global warming debate I’d suggest that the argument is over. The only thing left to do now is help decide on what is going to be done, not if something is going to be done.

This little video sums up the spirit of the event nicely if you ask me… every little thing contributes - so each of us can make a global difference.

If you are interested in seeing how your personal habits impact the environment try the Lifestyle Calculator. I hate to admit it but I seem to have a horrible score. The range is from 105-900 with the average in the US being 325.

Personally I’m at a despicable 608 - I’m guessing it has to do with all of my air travel. I guess I need to pay closer attention to the list of things you can do to fight global warming. (Here is another big list.)

Only on the Internet can you get a glimpse of an amazing street drummer without leaving the warmth and comfort of your own home!

So, all the way from New York City, please give it up for Larry Wright, the famous street performer and his 5 gallon paint buckets.

For anyone who isn’t familiar with Ben Folds Five, they are a fantastic band with a number of massive hits. They also have a reputation for being great live performers, and Ben has developed a regular routine of making up songs on the fly that he calls “Rock This Bitch”.

Apparently it started somewhere when he was doing a concert and someone in the crowd screamed “Rock This Bitch!”, and a tradition was born. WARNING: Foul language in all of these impromptu songs!

This guy is awesome! Personally I don’t know anyone that plays the violin. But I’m pretty sure that even if I did they wouldn’t be able to do this! The musician in the video plays amazing renditions of Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal and Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes.

I wish I knew who this guy is and if there is any more of his music on the net, so if anyone comes across that info please let me know.

EDIT: I found out this guy’s name is Alex Depue and he is the 2007 California State Fiddle Champion! He’s got a MySpace page here, and a Web page here, and there is some AMAZING stuff on both!

His father is a professor of music; his mother was a concert pianist. Following in his older brother’s footsteps, he began taking violin lessons at age five. He has studied classical violin with Dr. Bernard Linden, Dr. Paul Makara, and Camilla Wicks. Alex won his first major competition at age 10 and has continued to win competitions and appear as a guest soloist with orchestras and at festivals nationwide.

There is nothing to make you feel more pathetic than a kid that can kick your ass at something. And I’m not talking about the accidental “I win” in a game of soccer in the front yard. I’m talking about a good spanking from a kid who can make a professional adult look like an amateur.

Below are 10 exceptionally gifted kids who will put the hurt on you if you go up against them in each of their specialties. Enjoy.

This is GREAT! Everyone knows that I’m a super geek, so it should come as no surprise that I love Weird Al’s video of White and Nerdy. Seriously, I could watch it 1,000 times and never get bored (though my wife must be sick of it by now).

Anyway, I digress… it’s not often that you get to see some of the production footage from a music video, but here is the first take of the video with Al and Donny Osmond dancing like maniacs, followed by a complete Behind the Scenes video!

This jewel of a video was pointed out by Terry. It’s a highly creative musical video with a twist!

I can honestly say that I’ve never seen music made in this manner before. Watch and see…
