Digital Recoreders

So, the teen space has this recorder they got to do podcasts on, which in itself is pretty cool. It makes them into an audio file you can edit on the computer and is really easy to use. The only problem with it is that it only says 'no memory' when you start to try and record. It doesn't make a beep or anything else apart from have 'no memory' flash on the small screen. So guess what I did, me being the smart person I am, didn't check and assumed it was recording. I managed to 'record' a very good podcast the first time. But there was no memory, so it didn't get recorded. Right now I'm about ready to kill that thing, but it was my fault. So I should be getting another podcast up soon, doing it from the computer at home, which by the way, has tons of memory.

NIN

NIN,more commonly known as the Nine Inch Nails, recently released their new album titled The Slip. Unfortunately if you like holding the actual CD in your hands, it was not to be, for they released it only in digital format,with free download. Maybe you refuse to leagaly buy music so you use LimeWire, and then try to send money directly to the artist - don't worry NIN released this without the record company. here's the link http://www.nin.com/ so get going and download it if you want. I'll write some more later on what i think of the actual CD, it's still downloading.

Pandora

www.pandora.com is a web sight that simply allows you to create your own radio stations. You can make them by genera,song, or artist. They have almost everything except for some J-pop/rock,Classical,and opera. The selection and variety is amazing.

Pandora is a free service and is extreamly easy to use and opens up your ears to a wide variety of music. it allows you to name the stations whatever you want and see what other users are listening to.You can access your stations from anywhere that has internet access. As you might assume i am thefunkylama on Pandora. Hope to see you there.

Paramore

Paramore. The closest word to this bands' name has to do with zoology (paramere). A punk/Rock/alternative mix with some of the uniquest music videos i have ever seen. In 2005 they released their first album "All We Know Is Falling" and released their second album soon after in 2007, its called "Riot!". Some of their best know songs, like Crushcrushcrush and Misery Buissnes are from this album. Hey, the library even has this one (but i have dibs on it first)! Please go check them out!

Beastly

This book, titled Beastly, gives a new amusing twist to the classic tail of beauty and the beast. By involving other classic tails indirectly through online chatting in the book the author (who i currently don't remember the name of) causes the book, not to have the expected old fashioned feel, has one that is modern and brings life to a story that is often seen as dark. In addition instead of having the whole story told from "beauty's" view you get the story from the beasts view, giving you insight to why the beast is the way he is. the reader can really connect with both beast and beauty, as well as some of the other charitures that crop up throughout the story, allowing this to be a quick and captivating read.

What is this?

Hey, this is now my awesome blog for posting reviews. If you have any ideas on what I should review, I'll be glad to hear them. I should to at least one review a week in addition to my podcast (which you can hear @ ) I will start by reviewing books that I have already podcasted on and then do things I haven't podcasted on. So, here I go.
