Have You Heard?

Have you heard of the band Paper Tongues yet? Their new hit “Ride to California” is so catchy it stays stuck in my head hours after I hear it. They’re a fairly new band formed in 2007 in Charlotte, North Carolina and then moved to California in hopes of getting a record deal. This is where the inspiration for their hit song came from. It peaked at number 22 on Billboard Chart of Alternative Songs. The lead singer Aswan North has impeccable vocals and their particular take on mixing hip-hop and rock & roll is quite refreshing. If you haven’t heard it yet, here it is for your viewing pleasure!

Eric Clapton Limited Edition Fender MyTouch Phone

My brother recently bought me the new limited edition Fender MyTouch Google phone for my birthday. What a perfect gift for any music lover! It has 16 GIG of memory! No need for an iPod… just plug your matching “wood-grain” headphones in & listen away or into the car/sound system with an auxillary cable. I’ve already uploaded most of my music library, including whole ablums to my phone and still have 14 GIG free! OMG, I absolutely love that feature of the phone. The ability to customize your phone to exactly the way you want it is also a great component of the the Fender MyTouch. The easy drag and drop method to move widgets and apps is rather convenient. It is all touch screen with no physical keyboard. To access the keyboard you tap the screen where you need to write something. This feature does allow for more screen space to watch music and any type of videos, for example on the included youtube app. The charger (which also matches with the wood motif of the phone and headphones) is a USB cable, which can be plugged into your computer, that plugs into a wall charger. So, the charger is two chargers in one which is also really really convenient and keeps everything organized. The phone and all of it’s accessories are neatly packaged in a hard black zipper case (with matching silver Fender guitar pick emblem).

DJ Hero Review

Two days ago for Christmas, I bought my boyfriend the new DJ Hero Play Station 3 bundle set. Him being  a DJ himself, it was on his Christmas list. We popped it in the PS3 and had it set up in no time. The assembly is really simple and the instructions are easy to ready with step by step pictures. So, I started playing around with it a bit and started going through the tutorial, learning how to play the thing. At first, it seems like a version of guitar hero but as you play through the tutorial, y0u realize there is a lot more to the game than pressing the chord buttons. Each “set list” that you play through unlocks other venues and music that you can play if you recieve a score high enough to pass the satisfaction of “DJ Flash” (the narrator of the game). We even turned the game on and took turns playing and pretty much it provided music for the people we had over. I LOVE the game and would definitely recommend it to any person that likes dance, electronica, or mixes. I can’t wait to open some more fun stuff by reaching different levels. It seems like you can play this game for a long while without getting bored. There’s just so much more waiting for me experience… and trust me I’ll write another review once I achieve more.
