Great Mashup

Just listen to the awesomeness, and you will see why I enjoy it. This is one of the best mashups I have ever heard.

Project 33 (Voice Actors Needed)

What is Project 33? Well, for the most part, it's a mystery. At least until it's release date in January of 2014. The story revolves around 3 characters, Music, Mido(Green), and Ao(Blue) as they run around fighting these sound beings called Statics. This animated series will include a ton of fight scenes, shock, and the occasional wittiness. Even the promotional artwork for this upcoming series looks awesome. This animated series even has promotional fanart.

Although they are just a couple of months away from the opening episode, they are in fact recruiting voice actors for the role of various characters as well as background characters. No expertise is needed, but if you have any, it'd do you good. The only requirements is that you are available to send in your work as soon as humanly possible. No dilly-dallying and no-shows, if you are going to apply, you have to be serious about getting the voices in.

All people willing to apply for voice acting roles should converse with the Voice-over Director via Email, or via skype at charmywarmymed. They need them as quickly as possible, so don't delay.

Terrible and Catchy: The Music Industry's Trump Card

There are many songs that suck. They are terrible! They are annoying! They are on my Ipod! Wait, what? O.o

This is one of the oddest phenomena regarding music that I have seen to date. Whether you are talking about My Jeans, Friday, It's Thanksgiving, Hot Problems, or Mass Text, you can't deny that these songs are horrifically bad, but idiotically catchy. I mean, they have to be, if they were not catchy, they would not have gotten views in the millions, each. The people who create these songs gets thousands of dollars from the creation of these videos via ads, because YouTube does not care if you like the video, just that you viewed the advertisement!

The catchiness of the song is what brings you to the video, and the terribleness of the song is what makes you share the video. People post it on Facebook or twitter and write "Omg! This video is like, so horriber!" Your friends watch the video, hate it, find it catchy, and share the video. Then when it gets famous enough as a viral video, people review it, make parodies of it, and/or React to it. These become popular, which bumps the popularity of the original. And in this way, we are wholly responsible for these songs becoming huge, popular, and making the producers tons of cash.

Which makes me want to make a whole bunch of terrible but catchy garbage, just so I can try to earn some cash in my 15 minutes of shame fame. This seems to work, because it has been seen in sooooo many different videos. The music industry might have a trump card here, where they are able to get away with creating idiotically terrible music, and earn a large amount of cash from it, simply because the song is catchy.

What do you think of this trend, Catchy but Terrible?
