Classical Rickrolling

Posted by hank, Tue Sep 09 03:06:00 UTC 2008

Sometimes, I want to hear classical music, but it helps if I can relate to the music being played and really get into it (see: John Williams). Walt Ribeiro recently has awoken me to some awesome arrangements like Pork and Beans and The RickRoll Song that he has produced. You should buy them here if you like them, as I did. Here are some nice samples:

Actually, truth be told, I bought Pork and Beans, and Walt was cool enough to notice and send me Never Gonna Give You Up for free! Please spend money on him!

Amie Street Review: The best music store ever

Posted by hank, Wed Mar 07 07:04:00 UTC 2007

I’ve decided Amie Street is the best idea in music shopping for a long time.

  • Artists post there songs there, which are downloadable for free
  • As more people download them, their cost increases.
  • If they get really popular, they go up to 99 cents, but no higher.
  • The artist collects 70% of the money the songs earn!
  • Barenaked Ladies just released their new album there, which I bought within about 3 minutes getting an account.

It’s easy. You just put in your billing info, and get direct credit for your money. I put in $25, which was enough to but the whole album and then some. The album cost me $14.30, which means about $10 went directly to Barenaked Ladies instead of $1. I hope this catches on and completely replaces CDs and Record Companies.
