Transformers Roll Out Album To Be Released

A bit of exciting Transformers news came out today. Hasbro Studios has teamed up with Sony Music Entertainment to bring us Transformers Roll Out, an alt-rock tribute album. I am muy excited about this. I love Transformers. I still have my old toys. Alt-rock fits the Transformers style perfectly. I think this is a great idea, and if it's successful, maybe we'll get some more tribute albums for beloved franchises.

Video Friday - Geeky Fun!

We interrupt your life to bring you today's Video Friday. So kick back, relax, have a drink, and enjoy.... 


To begin, let's take a look at a clip from the latest Super Sentai show in Japan, known to us here in the States as Power Rangers. I have no idea why it happened but it appears as though every Power Ranger that ever existed was called into battle. This is their fight.





What do you do when you find who you think is the perfect person, only to discover they have one tragic flaw that you cannot look past? This is what Mikey Mason explores in his song, She Don't Like Firefly. (Warning: Major spoiler if you've never seen Serenity, and if you haven't, why not? Go get it as soon as you finish this. GO!)





Now, time for some nerdy mathematical, musical fun. It makes sense, given the close relationship between music and math, that people would create a musical version of Pi. This just happens to be one of the best ones I've seen. A special thanks to Jeff, for sending this my way.





What happens when you're sooooooooo bored and happen to be a marshmallow? I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say this is brought to you by the creative forces behind Charlie the Unicorn. You be the judge.





And now, I return you to your regularly scheduled life. Hope you enjoyed the break.

Video Friday!!! V-Day Edition

Love is in the with Valentine's Day just around the corner. Some of you might not be ready for it so here are a few suggestions of what to do and not to do to celebrate.

Candy Sushi



I know it's usually chocolate that's given to that special someone, but what makes this so special is it's different so you can tell your honey you think they're special and unique as well as deliciously sweet.

Flowers are nice but make sure you know how the other person feels about them, after all, you wouldn't want this to happen -

Valentine's Day Phobia 

I hear serenading is a popular expression of affection but you have to make sure it's done right. Be sure you can sing well, otherwise these reactions are going to happen to you....

World's Worst Singer



If you're not a strong singer but still want to incorporate music into your plans, get creative and try to put together something like this...

All of the Lights (Cello Cover)



And finally, if you're going to use Valentine's Day to tell that special someone how you really feel, whatever you do, don't do this...

I Love You




Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Musical Friday: Black Friday Exhaustion Edition

While Thanksgiving is a national holiday, it really is only the pre-event to the true American holiday, Black Friday. We as a country glorify and/or despise this day in all its greatness. Join me as we celebrate it through song.

This is the best Black Friday video I could find. Jake Broder and John Keefe really bring the true meaning of the holiday into their rap.

2bitcomic.com put this Black Friday Customer Experience to life in this video. This rap battle is played by Brian King and an irate customer played by Jason Monroe.




Doesn't this get you into the shopping spirit? So what are you still doing here?! Go Shopping!!

Musical Friday: Whedon Edition

@Wilderowens here with a Whedon-flavored treat.  With the Dollhouse dvd coming out this week, a new music video was released as a treat for fans.  This is not the only great music coming from actors in the Whedonverse.




This is "Remains" by Maurissa Tancharoen & Jed Whedon.  This video is hauntingly beautiful and such a great tribute to the show.




This is the Macarena sung by Amber Benson, Tara Maclay from Buffy, and Common Rotation, which includes Adam Busch, who we know as skinless Warren.  This video was actually a gift to her fans for posting comments about her book, Death's Daughter.  You can learn more about Amber Benson in this interview.





This is actually a tribute video for "Do You Want to Date My Avatar?" by Felicia Day, creator of The Guild, also know as Vi from Buffy and Penny from Dr. Horrible. This is just funny.


I also wanted to include Christian Kane's new video, The House Rules, but CMT won't let the video embed properly!  You are going to have to watch our favorite lawyer here.  I am not a huge country fan but he adds a little rock in there.  His voice is great and he is so hot.




This is Adam Baldwin singing his Firefly classic, The Hero of Canton. I just love his passion and his hat.




This is Joss singing from Commentary! on This American Life. He is my master.
