How to: Smack My Bitch Up

P.S. Yes, I know Lazy has been the only one blogging for AGES. I'll try to step up and actually write something soon. MAYBE.

Hey what?

Wuh huh? Hey! Look who's been masturbating furiously to youtube! Me? Is it me? It's me.

Let's look at what has been drawn to my attention in musically themed youtube vids recently...

First of all there is the obvious youtube fanbase reaching of Kyle Andrews. Dedicating your entire video to youtube, with samples of thousands of different videos is a surefire way of getting lots and lots of people to notice you and your easily overlooked music. I'm not saying the song isn't alright, and nor am I putting this guy down for obvious coat-tail grabbings. Really it's a smart move, but this kind of thing is going to get rapidly more irritating.

I checked out the rest of this Kyle Andrew's work on his website and it didn't really do anything for me to be honest, but I quite liked some of what he was trying to do so go have a listen and see if you can make yourself like it. I'm sure he doesn't need your support what with the millions of fans he'll get from his little attention chasing video, but hey! Clever move, Andrews...

Vadrum is this pretty sweet drummer who likes to smash his kit to lots of different well-known tracks. For example...

I'm sure there are lots of people on youtube doing similar things, but, well, fuck them for not trying hard enough that I didn't get to see them and hence show them to you. Plus this guy seems awesome. Go Vadrum!

I don't think the following video needs an explanation.

Go check out the rest of Andrew Gregory's videos for fun musical American politics, as well as a couple of other subjects. However, I think I chose the best one so don't get too excited, chimpettes.

And that's a rap! But I'm sure I'll put off all the work I have to do for real things again with another post real soon! YESSIR.

Youtube

Really youtube has much more effect on EVERYTHING than anyone thought it would; let's be honest. Everyone uses it for all the things they do.

Quite obviously, and not that surprisingly, music is one of the areas that has really taken off under this Time magazine cover feature, but little did we know it would truly launch musical artists. The first one I ever noticed was The Wrong Trousers (if you read my old blog then you'll no doubt remember me gushing over them):



And if you haven't heard of them yet (stop hanging out on the moon. Seriously. There isn't even anything there.) then First Aid Kit will deserve your attention as a more recent entry. This video even led to me going to see them with two of my homies! They had their parents with them which was sweet (beardy and tall) and supported Slow Club and James Yuill (Rod Thomas helped him out so it was the time when I exploded in a fountain of lust and died happy, my eyes burnt out by FIRE). Here they are with their hit video cover of Fleet Foxes:



Newest to my venacular is 'Danielle Ate The Sandwich'. While not being the most exciting musician, she is certainly beautifully talented and is bound to feature on some hipster advert about some stupid phone or car in the near future. I bet you she'll get more interesting in time, unless she gets hella famous and conceited and doesn't think about her music anymore. But that never happens to anyone!!! WATCH AND LISTEN:




By the way, I think all these people seem great to hang out with and I am jealous of them all!
Now I just bide my time 'til the VIP passes and exclusive interviews come rollin' in...
