I listened to Freezepop's album called Fashion Impression Function today. I must say, I was really impressed with this album. My three favorite songs on the album were Manipulate, Starlight, and the remix for Science Genius Girl (this song reminded me of 8-bit music). The quality was amazing and each song stood out so well. This album had what you would expect from a techno CD. Catchy rhythms, syntho-like pop voice overs, and a good driving beat. I was kind of displeased that almost half of the songs in the album were remixes, though. But they were good remixes. I could even say that I preferred them over the originals, but I'm not sure. I'll have to double check. Overall, I would probably give this album a 7/10.
So.... about today. I went to the library in an attempt that I would actually feel more compelled to get some research done. I managed to read articles about video blogging which apparently is starting to turn into an 'internet fad.' It is starting to become the alternative to television programming as it is way cheaper to produce. What's more, is that people are more engaged in conversations because of these video blogs. I've recently subscribed to a couple of video bloggers out there and it's just amazing how they convey messages in a very entertaining way. It's like a "I can't believe I'm actually learning something" kinda feeling.
So far, here's some links to some of my favorite video blogs and bloggers:
Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog - Act 1 part 1
Wong Fu Production - Good Hygiene Gets Girls
That Guy With the Glasses - Check out the website. It's full of awesome stuff.
Meekakitty - Get Down
Why was I looking at these videos? Well, for my Intro to Social Media class, we are supposed to create a website where we start a conversation based on what interests us. Since we are using a software called Wordpress (which is similar to a blog website), I feel that it is necessary to do a few video entries to get my message across to other people so that I can start conversing with them. So far, I'm really excited to see where I will get with my website, but I know it'll be a lot of work. And with that said, I do hope that you (YES. YOU! THE READER!) will get involved with my website when it goes "online."
