Nobody Moves Like Bush

Well the world is probably aware that Barack Obama is President of America now and it's probably a good thing. However, I have one problem. I don't get too much into politics, purely because half the time I don't know what's going on, but as I say I have a problem and it is that George Bush is no longer President.

I think Obama will be a better president and do the world good but nobody moves like Bush. I will miss the mispronunciation and question avoiding but most of all, the Bush dance moves that we used to see almost weekly. Hopefully, one day he might release a dance dvd but anyway, I feel it is my duty to create a little space on Audio-Fish where Bush may rule forever.

Couldn't find a compilation on Youtube so here's a link to all Bush's dances on the BBC.

Ouch! - Guitar Smashed Over Head

What are friends for? Breaking guitars over their heads with actually. This is the stupidest thing I've seen since Big Brother (nothing can top that!). But I'll come clean, I also find it funny and worryingly addictive to watch. I mean, what went through their heads?(except the guitar). "I don't want my acoustic guitar anymore. I know I'll find someone who will let me smash it over their head."

Obviously don't try this at home and I'm sure you won't. If you are as mental as these headcases then seek advice but instead of smashing your guitar, just send it to me! Surely it must of hurt. I'm impressed by how the victim/idiot takes it. How did they know the guitar would break like that and not kill their friend/village idiot?

Cooking Keyboard?

I am sure all of us have been through that moment where we wake up one day and think, "I want to cook dinner by playing a keyboard." No? Well maybe it's just me and the guy in today's video.

YouTube user Modd3d said "I installed a MIDI port in my microwave and now I use it to cook corn dogs. Mostly I was testing out my new Midify board and wanted to see if you could use it to control home appliances. It turns out you can. If you want to find out how to Midify stuff go to http://www.division-6.com./ "

This has lead me to have a dream. I dream, that one day, in our future, the time will be upon us where restaurants are run by orchestras and rock bands cooking up our meals. Fast food shops would be controlled by bands like McFly while your local up-market eatery is run by UB40.

Bring on the Beethoven Burger! Ok I'm gonna stop. I'm getting way too carried away.

And The Winner Is... No not you!

Ha Ha Ha! I've don't mind Katy Perry. In fact I'm a bit of a fan, but dear Katy was the subject of a big blunder at France's main music award ceremony, the NRJ awards. Perry cheerfully picked up the trophy for best international song which was actually intended for Rihanna.

Host Nikos Aliagas was the culprit behind the mistake and later admitted to being one heck of a dozy blighter. It was still a night to remember for the pop sensation though, as she rightfully took the prize for best international album.

"We are terribly sorry, but we made a mistake. It wasn’t Katy Perry who was supposed to pick up the Best International Song, but Rihanna with Disturbia,” the host said. “We hope Rihanna and Katy Perry won’t be too upset and we apologize for all the fans who voted for them. The wrong name was put in the envelope. We’re really terribly sorry. Katy Perry will have to give her (award) to Rihanna.”

Oh well, don't feel too sorry. She is earning millions.

Music To Your Rear

When I started this blog, I though I may stray across some weird things but not this. I mean who designs toilet seats? Who would want to buy a piano toilet seat? Why do I want one? If this wasn't funny enough, then the severity of the product description will easily tickle your ribs.

From their web site: "After several years of research & development, Jammin' Johns presents our finest quality 'Studio Series'. The products are produced by a guitar factory that manufactures some of the most popular brands of guitars. The 'Studio Series' features our own newly designed ring with chrome hardware for low maintenance. All finishes are of the highest quality and are hand buffed."

Better yet, the site boasts their VIP customers, and the great Steven Spielberg is mentioned! I don't know what gets into these Hollywood star's heads.

You Don't Need Hands To Play Guitar

Now I'm depressed. I've played guitar for years and have just come across a guy who has no arms but this hasn't stopped him being better than me. Who needs hands when you can just sit down and use your feet? Mark Goffeney was born 1969 San Diego but is also know as big toe. With his friend's help, Goffeney developed his own technique, learning guitar and bass. He would lay the guitar on the ground, supporting the neck with whatever he could get his feet on. He would strum with his left foot and make chords with his right. He is now sponsored by the producers of Aerosmith!

Meanwhile, two hands isn't even good enough for these guys!

Bird Song Fm

What will they put on the air waves next? I got a DAB radio for Christmas, which already seems a long time ago, and I was amazed by the range of quality and trash I could choose for my presets. Having programmed in Radio 1 and Planet Rock, I was a bit stumped as to what else to put on my favourites. So I went through the choices and discovered many radio stations I had never listened to like Gaydar and Radio Bore (Sorry Four) which were not for me. But then I discovered Bird Song.

A radio station where crows and sparrows rule the roost. If you haven't guessed by the name, it's a solid transmition of bird songs and its tweeting brilliant! Ok so you won't listen to it for the chart topping hits that you crave but as background noise it's great. Instantly relaxing and also addictive I'm afraid I've become a regular listener.
Tune In Here!

More Info:
"The audio was originally recorded for the test transmission of Classic FM prior to its launch in 1992. It was later used for the imaginatively named station "D1_temp" and won plaudits from listeners who complained when it was taken off air in June 2005.
Birdsong returned to the airwaves in early 2008 and was upgraded in April of the same year to become available in stereo and for 24 hours a day. Listeners and Birdsong enthusiasts should be aware that the transmission could cease at any time and that the recording is not commercially available.
Please note that the line up of birds featured in the cast may change without warning due to illness, weather and migration."
