In no particular order, some of the best voices I’ve heard are… Tony Clifton The amazing character devised by the genius Andy Kaufman. He’s a Las Vegas lounge singer whose hobby is being a rude and arrogant bad guy. If you’ve never heard what he sounds like, take an ear to him singing the Star-Spangled… Continue reading The Most Memorable Voices

SingingFish redirects to AOL? Yes and No.
There is little buzz going on about singingfish.com redirecting to AOL Search. If you are unfamiliar with singingfish, it is a multimedia search engine launched in 2000 that has one of the best databases of many mp3s and other audio and video formats. The only info I found about the domain redirection was that AOL… Continue reading SingingFish redirects to AOL? Yes and No.
Enable Download for All Myspace mp3s
I discovered a place where you can make any song on myspace downloadable. It works on Firefox and Opera, so if you haven’t yet- ditch Internet Explorer. You also have to download it within the timeframe. Ctrl+S will save the file if it comes up as a popup. [via gHacks] If the link is down,… Continue reading Enable Download for All Myspace mp3s
Muppet Show Music mp3s
The last post I made was free downloads for Sesame Street songs. This time around, I’m offering songs from two other VHS tapes I own: Fozzie’s Muppet Scrapbook and Muppet Revue. These are Muppet Show skits and segments from the original Muppet Show. I only recorded the musical numbers to mp3 though. Again, you can… Continue reading Muppet Show Music mp3s
Sesame Street Song Downloads
I still have a lot of kid left in me. I recently bought a “Muppet Babies” tape and loved it. Jim Henson is awesome. I own VHS tapes of Sesame Street that I converted into mp3s: “Rock and Roll!” and “Count It Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street.” I have others but these are… Continue reading Sesame Street Song Downloads
A Truly Free CD
I hate ripoffs and scams. When a real freebie comes along I am pleased. And I’d like to share a place that gives away 1 Compact Disc (or DVD) of your choice, including shipping. Granted it’s used and it has no case to cut down on shipping, I still enjoy the fact that I got… Continue reading A Truly Free CD
iTune-Up: Free iTunes Fixes and Tools
This is part 2 of my iTunes article continuing from my gripes and wishlist. Now onto the stuff you’ve been waiting for. Make your music player do what you want it to do and add some useful features. Want a shortcut to skip a song or give it a rating? Set your own custom keys… Continue reading iTune-Up: Free iTunes Fixes and Tools
iHope: iTunes Gripes and Wishlist (+ Updates)
I hope that music players like Songbird or musikCube become more appealing to the public and usable for music lovers. In my limited experience with the two, they definitely exceed iTunes in one way or another. Songbird is great for surfing around for mp3s or for searching online. It lacks somewhat in speed with my… Continue reading iHope: iTunes Gripes and Wishlist (+ Updates)
Self-Tuning Computerized Guitar
The title may sound confusing or may mislead you to what exactly this thing is. It’s not a computer that can sound like a guitar, but a guitar with mounted computer technology that tunes your instrument for you. It comes with an LCD screen, tuning buttons, and can even store 240 different tunings. This seems… Continue reading Self-Tuning Computerized Guitar
Uncommon and Custom Instruments
Odd music requires odd instruments. This website has a ton of pictures of old instruments you won’t see in an American pop group. There are also experimental hybrid musical instruments and information behind them. Most of them are probably too rare for my price range, but I can try to make my own Cigar Box… Continue reading Uncommon and Custom Instruments
Jazz Machine
There is a really interesting musical frequency generator that produces unique “free jazz” style tones when you move the frequency scroll bar around with your mouse. It’s called the Jazz Machine. You can play with it online or download it to your computer. It’s completely free and easy to use. It’s fun because it can… Continue reading Jazz Machine
iPod vs. the Cassette
The iPod is considered a great invention or at least an advanced improvement of portable music using the latest technologies. There are also others who criticize it, who realize it isn’t perfect, and who know how cheap it isn’t. I’ve got one and I see the good and bad of it. But some creative individual… Continue reading iPod vs. the Cassette
