SongSmith from Microsoft

So microsoft launched this new software called SongSmith

http://www.pcworld.com/article/156667/at_ces_microsoft_introduces_the_unexpected_songwriting_software.html



and in case you are deaf/missed that video above, it is ridiculous. And NOT in a good way.



These "ads" make me want to puke all over myself repeatedly. And again - that's not a good thing. I mean so what I'm in advertising. It doesn't take a marketer to realize that their commercials are cheesy out the ass.

But this isn't just a slam piece, cuz that's only half the fun of discovering something as bad as SongSmith people.



So it seems there is one redeeming thing about SongSmith -- Zack Scott is not alone -- A LOT of people are posting videos on YouTube of SongSmith's interpretation of classic songs. And the result (as you can see and more importantly HEAR below) is effing funny. Like 'WTF did I just drop acid and forgot about dropping acid?'

This is but one song from many that YouTuber azz100c posted.

Be your own Judge.

Animal Collective and Web Sheriff say boo to Grizzly Bear

This article is kinda old (November), but nevertheless relevant because the whole hubbub is over a song ("Brothersport") from AC's newest album which is about to drop (Merriweather Post Pavilion - varying dates, approx. LP 1/12, CD 1/20).

From pitchfork:

Grizzly Bear Apologize to Animal Collective for Leak
"This is no laughing matter"

"Brothersport" was the first earful the downloading public got of Merriweather Post Pavilion, Animal Collective's forthcoming follow-up to 2007's most excellent Strawberry Jam. But we weren't supposed to hear it quite yet. Merriweather Post Pavilion comes out January 12 in the UK and January 20 Stateside.
"Brothersport" made its way to the internet well before Animal Collective's label Domino intended it to. The members of Grizzly Bear got their hands on the track and linked to it from the blog on their website this past Wednesday, with singer/songwriter Ed Droste noting that he hadn't "fallen in love with an Animal Collective song so hard since 'Leaf House'!"

But the love was fleeting, thanks to the internet's own Inspector Clouseau, the Web Sheriff. According to a message from the Web Sheriff posted on the Grizzly Bear blog [via Stereogum], the Sheriff accused the Grizzly Bear blog of serving as the "global-leak-source of the track." The message continued, "As such, both the individuals collectively trading/performing as 'Grizzly Bear' and, indeed, yourself are personally liable for to our said clients for all commercial and other losses arising from this blatant act of piracy." ("Our said clients" means Animal Collective.)
The band took down the MP3 of the tune, and posted an apology to Animal Collective, Domino, and the Web Sheriff, as mandated by the Sheriff. The text of the apology: "Following contact from Web Sheriff, we can confirm that Grizzly Bear has withdrawn its stream of unreleased material by the Domino Records artist Animal Collective: Grizzly Bear wish to apologize to Animal Collective, Domino and Web Sheriff for the disruption caused to their marketing and release plans by this leak."
The Sheriff continued, "As you will appreciate, this is no laughing matter and, as such, should you refuse or otherwise fail to comply with the above request, we would ask you, in the alternative, to simply provide us with the details of the US attorneys, UK solicitors, French advocats and German advocats whom you would instruct in relation to the service of such multi-jurisdictional proceedings as shall ensue."
The band are required to keep the apology up on their site for a week.
Neither Grizzly Bear, Domino, nor Animal Collective had a comment on the matter, though Domino did confirm that they hired the Web Sheriff. Many labels use the Web Sheriff to combat leaks; hell, we wouldn't be surprised if Warp uses it (him?) for the next Grizzly Bear album.

Speaking of that next Grizzly Bear album, the band members are currently recording their follow-up to 2006's Yellow House and last year's Friend EP, and if they're not in internet prison by then, they'll join Final Fantasy and the Brooklyn Philharmonic February 28 at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House.
Animal Collective, meanwhile, take to the road in January.

Manhattan

A shoplifter got more than he bargained for when he was arrested for trying to swipe cigarettes with a razor in an Alphabet City bodega, cops said yesterday.

Albert Felicia, 41, of Brooklyn, asked a 48-year-old clerk for "loose cigarettes" in the deli on Avenue D and East Seventh Street at 8:50 p.m. on Christmas Day, cops said.

When the worker said he had none, Felicia jumped over the counter and took a razor out of his mouth, but pummeled the clerk instead of slashing him, cops said.

The clerk allegedly fought back, pushing Felicia out of the store and calling 911.

Police quickly arrived and arrested Felicia, who was charged with menacing, weapon possession and attempted robbery.

Anderson! You were reporting the news on FRIDAY NIGHT. I was at home, slender, relaxed, and confident. I was looking at you through the television scream(screen) and I thought you were checking me out on your end too! I know your broadcast goes into millions of homes but I know that Friday night you were broadcasting directly to me. And hey, I'm picking up what you're putting down stud. Anyways, I was not sure until right before the commercial break that you were definitely cruising me. And then, it happened! You said; "we'll be right back" and you looked down at your desk, and I thought, if he's interested, he'll look up at me one more time before they cut to commercial. And that's when it happened!! They cut to commercial without you looking up. But I told myself, if he is looking directly at the camera with a certain intensity (almost a squint) when they come back from commercials, he'll definitely be checking me out! And you were!! Aaaaagghh!! Like freaking magic man!! I adore flattery and you are sooooo handsome. But more than coy glances I appreciate directness. And if you read this. No, when you read this, yes, I'll have ONE drink with you. And no, you're not gonna get me all liquored up and have your way with me on the first date sneaky anchor man! And when I move in I hold the remote control!! And NO CNN!! That's for work! When you come home I need your attention to be on us! And no constant work chatter either, PLEASE!! I will already know everything you're gonna say from watching you on the news. So our dinner discussions will have to be limited to what I did that day at the petstore I work at. Or we can talk about the gym because that is neutral grounds. Or we can talk about night clubs and/or saunas. Or Beyonce. Because she is fierce! Or Tyra because she is fierce! Or Heidi because she is fierce!
