Halloween is just around the corner, and soon the ghouls, zombies, and lesbian witches will haunt the night:

Okay, so maybe there are no lesbian witches, but at least there are witches. My mom is one. She made this “soup” one time, it was so horrible, I think it had newt brains and frog eyes in it.

Anyways, to celebrate Halloween, here’s a music video put together by the North American Halloween Prevention Initiative, a group of superstars that got together to put out the song, “Do They Know It’s Hallowe’en?”, which can be purchased online The song is for a charity benefit, all proceeds will go to the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF), so I highly recommend you check it out.

Update: There are now 2,748 songs. As a thank you reward for a donation to help with bandwidth from sharing the whole collection, you get access to all of the songs, which totals 18GB. See the Tunes page for more details.

I’ve updated the Tunes page with a slew of mashups to listen to, and download.  It spans 7 volumes, and totals 2,747 tunes to listen to.  I’ve also updated the player with a whole new look, to make it easier to use and view each song.  Finally, there’s a handy FAQ below the player addressing the most common questions I’ve received since putting these tunes up.  Enjoy!

Here’s a little highlight video showing how even with limited action, Tim Tebow manages to dismantle the Tigers much vaunted defense:

YouTube has taken down this video, due to it violating copyright (it was televised nationally on CBS.) It looks like Google’s takeover of YouTube is already sending the service down the tube. I guess it was inevitable, but it’s still sad to see it happen.

Go Gators!

When shopping for a MP3 player, I originally wanted a tiny flash-based one for when I go on early morning runs, since hard drive-based ones tend to skip when there are sudden movements.  However, when I saw the iRiver Clix, I realized that I won’t be running all the time, so I might as well be able to enjoy it for when I’m not exercising.

The iRiver Clix (MSRP $199.99) features the ability to play music in these formats: .mp3, .ogg, and .wma.  On top of that, it features the ability to play video, show pictures, and let you play Flash Lite games.  It has a rather large (for a MP3 player) 2.2″ LCD screen that is quite bright, and which can display 260,000 colors.  Additionally it has a built-in FM tuner, so you can listen to local FM radio stations.

It charges up the lithium-poly battery via the USB 2.0 cord, and a single charge can bring you between 10-20 hours (20 hours if you’re listening in the worst possible audio quality, don’t use the LCD screen much, and other best-case scenario variables.)  You can expect around 13 hours of playtime for the average listener, less if you watch videos often and use an aggressive equalizer setting.

It supports all of the online music stores that isn’t called iTunes Music Store.  So it supports URGE, eMusic, MSN Music, Rhapsody, Napster, and other PlaysForSure verified services.

I’ve uploaded 422 new mashups for you to enjoy listening to via streaming over on the Tunes page. These tunes are great for parties, but you can listen by yourself to get a new take on old songs. If you’re unfamiliar with mashups, read this Wikipedia entry on the subject. Also, please don’t contact me asking to download these. I can’t honor every request, as I don’t have the bandwidth to spare for everyone that wants these. Enjoy!

I was surfing around on the telly, looking for something interesting when I stumbled upon a new Adult Swim cartoon called Korgoth of Barbaria. This particular scene I saw had me in a quivering puddle of goo as I cried and laughed and winced in pain from the cramps all at the same time. It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed so hard. The show has all the good stuff; gore, boobs, and humor.

Behold, the scene! I should add, it’s not for kids!

I’ve uploaded Volume 7, which includes 419 brand new mashups for you to enjoy on the Tunes page. If you haven’t checked out the mashup tunes, now’s a good time to do so. Donations aren’t required this time around to help out with bandwidth, as I feel this small collection shouldn’t pose a problem with the bandwidth.

If you’re not familiar with mashups, think of it as a bastard child of two songs, mixed in together. It can include totally different genres, tempos, and even alter the meaning of the two songs when combined. It’s quite neat, and has to be experienced to understand.
