I am really liking the free Tuesday music this week. Neither song I like isn’t typical of what I like. Whatcha Say by Jason Derulo is R&Bish. The music video for this (it was the free music video of the week) was cringe worthy and I quickly stripped the song from the video and trashed it. The female vocalist is what is intriguing me. They have her in that over processed style ala Imogene Heap. Now I haven’t really listened to Imogene Heap but I know that is her sound. I might have to go check her out now.
The other free song is their Latin freebie. Mathia Aguyao- Rollerskake. I just like the bumm bumm bumm sound to it.
Last weeks free video is still speaking to me on many levels. Time Flies by Porcupine Tree. First the topic of time is something I have been trying to deal with in both the literal and creative sense. I can’t explain it but that song seem to have. Also the video is done is a style that makes me want to try and emulate in some of my motion graphics.
And lastly on the topic of music. I had a few bucks mad money to spend and wanted to buy something fun. I thought I was going to go with the new Apple Magic Mouse. My Apple store didn’t have it yet so in the meantime I got an updated driver for my current Logitech and now realize that this mouse will always do much more then the Magic Mouse ever could. The only thing the Magic Mouse had going for it was the touch scroll surface. That would be cool if I didn’t already could do that with the track pad of my Mac Book Pro so it isn’t really a selling point. I did get a new keyboard which I love but I still had the money I didn’t spend on the Magic Mouse. I had no clue what I needed or wanted that would be fun. I finally found something. A music keyboard to go with Garage Band. I never try and make music on Garage Band cause the software keyboard sucked but I can see having some fun with this and maybe make some cool music to go with video or something.
