Chalk It Up

Oh man! I wasn't sure about Rhymefest, but he just sealed the deal. He borrows the melody and chorus of The Foundation's "Build Me Up Buttercup" in his song "Build Me Up" and it's catchy enough for an upgrade. Listen.

I had an idea very very similar to this site a week or two ago. It's bot h really frustrating and really fun to see ideas you have manifest before you're able to act on them.

The idea is basically building dynamically created flash movies based on various factors. This particular execution takes into account the viewer's location, weather, and a few other factors to create the video.

I think they did a really great job with the idea, but seeing their version confirmed a few concerns I had with the technology. So, we'll see...

This blog entry/article (?) brings up some good thoughts about the RIAA and MPAA.
"And that's really the problem, isn't it? There are these industries of middlemen - RIAA, MPAA - that claim to "protect artists" but what they're really protecting is themselves. Artists (and I include myself in that word) need to rise up and tell these people to go get stuffed. We can decide when a mashup is perfectly fine with us. We can decide to embrace file traders to build awareness of our work. We don't need you anymore. You're just holding us back."

Check it out.

Has anyone noticed the trend in food advertising lately to take an old song and change the lyrics to describe the food advertised? Kraft used EMF's "You're Unbelievable" to describe their product Crumbles as "Crumble-evable". Pizza Hut declared that "We've Got The Meat" using the Go-Gos song "We've Got The Beat" to describe their latest meaty pizza. It sucks.
