Video Games Live Concert on Thanksgiving Weekend

A few days ago, Jason told me about Video Games Live . It's a concert tour featuring music from video games performed by a symphony. There is a video promo available. While looking at the tour dates, I noticed that it was coming to Cleveland on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Tickets go on sale this Friday.

I'd really like to go, and I already talked to David and he said he's interested too. I want to order the tickets right after they go on sale, so if you want to go, let me know sometime tomorrow (Thursday). The concert is at 7pm on November 26th, and I expect tickets to be around $20.

MC Lars

MC Lars is my favorite artist of the moment. I mean, how could I not like a 22-year old rapper that goes to Stanford and produces "post-punk laptop rap"? He's got two songs available for download, iGeneration and Hurricane Fresh . You can also watch the new music video for Signing Emo . After you've become addicted, buy the rest of The Laptop EP from iTMS .

Here are my favorite lines from each rap:

• iGeneration: "The Berlin Wall fell and out we came, the post-Cold War kids laid claim to AIM. LOL, OMG, yo, BRB. Space, colon, dash, closed parenthesis."
• Hurricane Fresh: "So I take a chance, I rhyme white but so what? I like James Brown and Beyonce's butt. Whatever your race I'll Friendster you and rent two Spike Lee NetFlix too."
• Signing Emo: They auto-tune Blake, but he can't tell. He says, "I've got perfect pitch, damn I sing well." ProTools, Logic, cut, copy, paste, quantized solos and quantized bass.

MC Lars rules.
