Rule Britannia

I love Wikipedia. I couldn’t think of this British anthem for awhile, but started reading about Britannia. It’s played quite a bit, especially in American media when showing off something British. You’ll probably recognize it if you fast forward to 3:45. Anyway, Britannia => Rule, Britannia => Youtube. Sweet.

Jessica H.O. – Life Is Good, American Arrogance

Ron | May 16, 2009

I like her voice (and the eyes, I’m a sucker for crescent-shaped eyes). Apparently she kinda shot herself in the foot by publicly dissing BoA a few years back though, BoA being a music superstar in Asia or something. Btw, what is it with Asian chicks and using the word “fag”? I’m tallying it in [...]

ToneMatrix

Ron | April 15, 2009

This is pretty cool. Make some music! Thanks for the heads up, Eric.

Space bar clears it. You can also right click and copy paste. You can get extra creative by opening up multiple tabs.
The creator’s blog post about it is here.
Hmm so going off his blog, it looks like he based it off something called [...]

Billy Bob Thornton Interview, Kanye West [Updated]

Ron | April 9, 2009

Wow, what a diva. So, instead of just saying, “Let’s not talk about my acting career”, he goes for maximum passive aggression. This one tops Bale’s flip out, to me.

The interviewer, Jian Ghomeshi, rolls pretty well with it, though. Props to him. He’s a bit fazed, but he soldiers on, [...]

Kwak Jae-Young’s Cyborg She Review, Many Moons Short Film

Ron | December 26, 2008

Cute cover, no?
I get cravings for Asian cinema/television once in awhile. While there’s a lot of variety in American films, they’re also inherently bound to American culture and values, which can get tiresome after awhile. I mean, I live it, everyday. There’s just something about Asian culture that I love, particularly Korean and Japanese. The [...]

Ronald Jenkees

Ron | November 9, 2008

Every time this guy talks, I laugh. It’s bad I know. But it doesn’t help when he wears his straw hat and plaid shirt (not shown here). And then he rips out these crazy songs.

Hmm creating his background beats.

Opera, Nerdery

Ron | October 8, 2008

Huh. I never thought I’d like opera. I was introduced to some not too long ago, and then obtained a wide assortment of arias shortly after to peruse. My initial impression was, “Meh, it’s ok, but I think I prefer classical music.” But they keep popping up on my playlist, and as I [...]

TOKiMONSTA

Ron | October 1, 2008

I should be coding. I really should. But I’m sitting here, listening to music, TOKiMONSTA music. It’s 3:01 AM. Shit.
You can find some of the songs at http://www.myspace.com/tokibeats. They’re quite interesting. Kinda reminded me of Nujabes at first, but TOKiMONSTA definitely has its own style. I only wish there were more, or the songs were [...]

Joshua Bell – Vivaldi: The Four Seasons

Ron | September 30, 2008

I love Vivaldi, particularly The Four Seasons.  So when Joshua Bell came out with a version, I bought a digital copy, my first purchase of online music ever (huh, Amazon has no DRM!). Who the hell is Bell? Well, I guess I had been living under an orchestral rock all these years, but I had [...]

She’s Gone – By 17586063

Ron | September 26, 2008

Sometimes I wish I were still actively playing an instrument.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naKfzm6grDA

There’s raging debate on all “her” videos regarding whether she’s a guy or not, but you can kinda make out an hourglass shape that guys go gaga for. Not enough to really say, though. Such is the fate of women on the internet, eh? Who knows. [...]
