Interview with NoneLikeJoshua

To start off with Music Month, I had a sit down with NoneLikeJoshua, an independent rapper on Youtube who's well know for his rap remixes of dubstep songs who just released an album called "The Imperament". While I'm not a big rap fan, NoneLikeJoshua is different, with melodic backing tracks and insightful, and usually storytelling lyrics. As he's now in Canada working on a new EP, I talked to him over Skype and this is what he had to say about himself and his new album.

Coming Up: Music Month

This month is February, and I feel like doing something special for this month, so welcome to Music Month. All this month, I'll post music related thoughts. Hopefully, I'll also be able to do some interviews. I'm starting to ask some indie musicians, and I hope to get replies soon.

I'll take a look at some music and review those. Also, you can't listen to music without a good pair of headphones, so I'll review some headsets. I'll take a look at different ways to listen to music, like Pandora verses Last.fm, and many more things as well.

I love music, as you might guess, and I hope I like doing this as much. A lot more is to come starting Friday. I won't tell you what Friday's post is yet, but you'll find out soon enough.

Emergency Thought: 1,000,000

No, I didn't already hit one million views. It's the new song by Alexandra Stan and Carlprit. I heard it the day the music video was released on the Ultra Records Youtube channel. I found it when someone posted a bulletin about it. Why do I do my first Emergency Thought about it? Is it really good? Is it really bad? Let's answer that question.

Monday's Moment: Flight of the Conchords

Started in 1998, Flight of the Conchords is New Zealand's fifth most popular folk comedy duo, at least that's what they claim. This duo stars Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, and they have gained a lot of popularity, with a BBC radio show and an HBO TV series both named after their band. Today, I'll look at the music side of their career, looking at their albums and the songs featured on the TV show. So, here are my thoughts on the music of Flight of the Conchords.

My Thoughts on Gentoo Linux

A while ago, I experimented with Gentoo Linux on my computer. I removed it though and put Arch Linux back on my computer. Even though I didn't have much time with it, I learned quite a bit.

I'll Drop the Plastic and Use the Vinyl

One thing I have noticed lately is that vinyl records are becoming popular again. I find this pretty interesting. Music CD's seem like they would be better in the year 2012, but maybe there is still something that makes people want to put a needle on a record.

Monday's Moment: Retsupurae

You did a Let's Play of a game. You upload to Youtube. You admit that the production qualities weren't the best ever, and maybe the commentary could be better, but you tried. Sometime later, you see a video with identical length and thumbnail. You click on it, and it is you're video, but there's extra people in it. They start cracking jokes and pointing out flaws. You ask yourself, "What is this?"

The answer to that question is a little think called Retsupurae. A group of people find sub-par Let's Plays or other video game related videos, and comment over them. In a way, they're like a modern day Mystery Science Theater 3000. Do these people know what there talking about? Can they really do better than the videos they comment over? Let's find out.
