Music by: Music by The Juan MacLean – Tonight

It was about a year ago… I was excited on buying an HD video cam. I did my research, saw a gazillion sample videos and for the budget I decided to go with a Vixia HG21. There is a learning curve as everything in life but this one was an unexpected big one. Vixia HG21 can be noisy as hell! (I bet hell is not as noisy) By that time I called it “snow” and it was very depressing. I kept on filming but never got into the satisfying zone. I bought an Rebel T1i and an iPhone. Both made better videos off the bat so I decided I was going to give my Vixia another try before selling it. Did my research but there’s nothing compared to vimeo as video research center. Vimeo is full of tech/film freaks! I searched for Vixia HG21 low light and there it was! The information I was waiting for! FINALLY! I’m very happy and there’s going to be a lot of new videos! I give Vixia HG21 a 9 out of 10!(For the price) Here is a video testing it out and practicing Final Cut Pro.

I was there, checking Apple’s website to see their response about the iPhone antenna issue… I’m glad that Steve Jobs put that iPhone 4 Antenna song youtube video because I felt identified with the lyrics from the song. My feelings exactly! I did a video kind of jamming and sing along based on the song!

Cheers to Jonathan Mann! and his song a day project!

iPhone 4 Antenna Song Callback from 8bitdude on Vimeo.

Youtube version in case you can’t load vimeos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BuwJKvcROA

Original song:

Lyrics:

there’s an awful lot of hoopla
around the iphone 4 anttenna
when you grip it with the death grip
and you’re call slips away

the media loves a failure
in a string of success
the facts won’t ever matter
if they can make bigger messes

sure i can make it happen
but in terms of daily usage
i’ve yet to drop a call
so this whole damn thing is stupid

and you can call me a fanboy
i’ve been called worse things
but gizmodo just ridiculous
pulling their anti-apple strings

you bought a stolen prototype
get over it and move on
or hey even better
let’s all sing this song

If you don’t want an iphone 4, don’t buy it

if you bought one and you don’t like it, bring it back!

Well lot of shit has happened since!! Lot’s and lot’s of concerts, parties, walking around, playing guitar and working. (Which I honestly love)

One of the things that has kept me down from every now and then is Gustavo Cerati’s stroke :( Honestly he has been one of my music teacher (He just doesn’t know it) in “Rock en Español”. Great composer, singer, musician and everything is well documented. He’s still in the hospital and his future status with his condition is unknown. Best wishes Gustavo Cerati.

I have these 2 videos with my wife! First one is us creating music. This is being created in the moment.

Here it is:

This next one is use just jamming to one of Gustavo Cerati’s (Primavera 0) song. I wanted to do that in his tribute.

I believe I haven’t posted anything new for a while now (Little bit over a month to be exact)! I wanna share something with you guys! Something I really like! My wife told me a couple of months ago: “OMGGGG Air is coming to NYC!!!”. Well it was in Spanish, “Que Chimba viene Air!” I was like, Air what?!!?!? So as always she sent me couple of songs and I passed them to my iPhone. Since then I haven’t been able to stop listening to Air! In a week I knew their most recent album! Love 2 and some of the Moon Safari album.

So as always I recorded some videos!! YAY!! The concert was great and then we went to a Trilogy party! It was definitely a good Night!! I <3 NYC ;)

Here it goes:

Do the Joy

Be a Bee

Remember

In this one the guy singing is using a vocoder! It’s a voice effect that merges your voice with any instrument! Pretty Cool.

Tropical Disease

This one is one of my favorite! I couldn’t record this one because I needed it to enjoy it @ a 100% full blast power! The guy in the left is using a moog! OMG I want one!! I bet there’s a gremlin making the sound inside the piano getting pinched with each notes he plays!!

Lyrics:

Women! Women! Make me feel, warm inside!

This might be an interesting blog for some people. Browsing the web I noticed this website called BeautifulPeople.com and the thing with this site is that you have to be “beautiful” in order to get in! You have 48 hours to get accepted. So let’s see what happens. I tried to fix myself up but ended up failing a bit. I already started getting spam messages in the website. BeautifulPeople.com it’s on a beta phase even though it doesn’t say it on their website. Really buggy, I got like 10000 Ajax fail message and it’s really slowwwww. I guess the site is getting DoS’ed or maybe they don’t have enough bandwidth for all those beautiful people! http://www.beautifulpeople.com/

This is the video blog:
