Notice anything Awesome in this pix?

Time for the 2nd instalment of Awesome’s video of the week. Because I haven’t found a funny video on the web in the past week I will let you in on a video that will blow your mind. or at least your speakers.

So those of you who know me may also know that I’m in a band (Blackwater James). We have been in the studio recording our first album, and during this time our Singer chris took this video of me laying down a track for our song Sick Generation. Now he took this video on his digital camera so the sound sucks but you still get to see me through down some tasty licks. Enjoy

This is a bit different from the normal Taco fodder, not funny… just friggin’ amazing.

I was talking to someone about this the other day.  This guy is Greg Pattillo, AKA the Beatboxing Flute Guy.  He’s impressive as hell, and reminds me how little I’ve done with any talent I might have.

Impressive, most impressive.

Ever hear a song’s lyrics completely wrong? Ever write them down and make a video to add visuals to what you thought you heard? No? Then you’re not this awesome.

I saw this a while ago, just occurred to me today to make it into a taco. Yes. It’s now a taco. Now check out my hot ant-ticks.

*Edit:  Just to clarify, this is not original.  Credit where credit it due, follow the link to the youtube page.

Late Night Entry:

OK music fans, Awesome here,  put Teddy Ruxpin down and take off that slap bracelet.  BIG NEWS.  Buckcherry announced today that their new album (Black Butterfly) will come out on Sept. 16th.  If you don’t know about Buckcherry you should.  That is if you like good Rock N’ Roll.  Buckcherry plays what I call L.A. Rock.  It’s Rock N’ Roll about Sex, Drugs, and well Rock N’ Roll, and their first single off the new album, Too Drunk, is not exception.  If you want to check out the song and video for it go to their myspace by clicking here.  Caution!!!! Do not listen to or watch the video at work.  You’ll understand when you get home.  Tell me what you think about it.

Awesome Out.

Dammit Warner Bros! DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!!!!!! There’s no friggin’ difference between the formats, no friggin’ difference at all! (Fuck you and your 50GB vs 30GB, nobody fucking cares) If you wanted to go HD, you had to make the choice based on who you thought would win… I bet on HD-DVD… AND I FUCKING PICKED THE WRONG FUCKING HORSE!!!! SON OF A BITCH!!!! Have no idea what I’m talking about? Go read up on it. I’ll wait….. Back? Pissed off as I am?? FUCK!!!

But enough Lewis Black style response…. I offer this ode to HD-DVD:

A long long time ago,

I can still remember how I stood there waffling in the store.

And with research and a lot of thought,

I made my choice, HD was bought,

Confident that it would win the war.

But that Blu-Ray it made me shiver,

With every studio it delivered;

Fox, New Line, and Buena Vista,

Lion’s Gate and Sony Pictures.

I screamed goddamn and then I cried,

When I read about Warner’s choice in side.

How many executives did Sony bribe?

The day the High Def died…

So, bye-bye, my choice for 1080p.

Whether a model by Toshiba,

Or the combo from LG,

And them good old boys watchin’ on their 360,

Singin’ fuck you Sony, Fuck your PS3.

Fuck you Sony, fuck your PS3.

Will you trust your HD pick,

Or will you switch to that BluRay shit,

If the AVS forums tell you so?

Has Warner dealt the final blow?

Or will we all be surprised if we go,

To next week’s Consumer Electronics Show?

Well, I know that I’m in love with him,

But when his Jobsness said BluRay for the win,

With Steve I was forced to disagree.

Why have you foresaken me?

Everything Microsoft touches is ‘teh suck’,

And they supported HD, I said ‘well fuck!’,

But it didn’t matter, just my luck…

The day the High Def died,

I started singin’;

Bye-bye, my choice for 1080p,

Whether a model by Toshiba

Or the combo from LG

And them good old boys watchin’ on their 360

Singin’ fuck you Sony, Fuck your PS3,

Fuck you Sony, fuck your PS3.

Now in ten years I’m sure we’ll do it some more,

All our movies rereleased in a new format war.

And that’s just how it used to be;

Back in the 70s Sony tried to play this game,

A tape you may remember Beta’s its name.

But they didn’t count on JVC.

Oh, and while Betamax was clean and safe,

VHS made a power play.

It’s all because of adult lust,

That Betamax was a bust!

Now you know why VHS killed Beta’s form,

But even though HD was first to have porn,

And we watched free 300 and Bourne…

Still, the High Def died.

We were singin’;

Bye-bye, my choice for 1080p,

Whether a model by Toshiba

Or the combo from LG

And them good old boys watchin’ on their 360

Singin’ fuck you Sony, Fuck your PS3,

Fuck you Sony, fuck your PS3.

At this point there are actually 2 more verses to America Pie… longest song to ever be played on the radio you know. But I got lazy. If anyone would like to finish it, lemme know.
