More Buzzie Live – from the El Ray in Los Angeles

Category: just for fun, music, social mediajmacofearth @ 6:11 pm

(cross posted from blog.buzzie.com the buzzie rockband blog)

With the encouragement of two dear friends, I have begun processing some of the video from the El Ray show, oh, a few years back. This is the first instalment. The sound is about a 6 out of 10. It was shot on the tiniest video cam I ever saw. Just a fan. He contacted me after the show and offered to send it to me from JAPAN. He did.

This is a gift back to David Bash who has been so awesome to invite Buzzie back to IPO again and again.

And also to my blip.fm friends @ladypn and @adamofdallas.

Sometimes We Miss: Other Times We Are Like Birds on a Branch Together

Category: about me, code is poetry, just for fun, musicjmacofearth @ 10:12 pm

Screen shot 2010 02 11 at 9.57.48 PM Sometimes We Miss: Other Times We Are Like Birds on a Branch Together

This might just be one of those magical moments in time, when all things new are uber-new and all possibilities are uber-possibilities.

In this rainy week in ATX we've suffered near freezing temps, sleet, crappy apps, really slow internet access and even a cold to jolly things up a bit.

So what's up with that?

The picture from Ira Tviga reminds me of the magic in the darkness and unknown. There is wonder and beauty in not knowing what is coming next. There is "beginner's mind" inside the moment of frustration that causes us to finally lash out. There is power and momentum in our group, this little team of 14 that rocked the vault last night in Austin.

And still we have misses, runny noses, headaches, and sleepless nights. But it's on the up-side of down. On the growth side of economic depression. On the good side of the fall. Or as the band I was end was called, the Felix Culpa, or happy accident.

All these things bring/brought/deliver us to this very moment in time where we say, "No." Or where we shout "YES!" to the things we have been denying. Tonight is such a night. Tomorrow morning will be a Friday of great promise. And President's day will provide a 3rd day of the weekend for us to play, frolic and make joy amongst ourselves and our friends.

Go forth. The miss you have been feeling is telling you something. Oh and if Valentines Day is Sunday, we are even doubly blessed to be so loved! We are!

Nice Shot – How long's it been since you've seen the Matrix?

Category: just for fun, musicjmacofearth @ 11:44 am

This is a great song. Really shows where NIN got some of his guts.

Here's the song spliced into some clips from the Matrix.

How long's it been since you've seen the Matrix? Well, friends, that may be too long. This video might just tease you back into Nero's world.

A Bit 'o Humor at the Experts Expense: The SEO Expert said to the SM Expert

What did the SEO Expert say to the Social Media Expert when they found each other on a Social Media forum?

On the way to writing a post this morning, I fell into a dream state and this is what I saw. (Note: no names have been changed, no slander has been thrown, no one is a target here… This is just a jolly exchange between two fictitious characters in my oh so nutty mind. Thank you for playing along. Please ignore if it doesn't suit your taste.)

Social Media Expert: "How did you find me here, this is amazing!"
SEO Expert: "It's kind of my thing. This search stuff.
Social Media Expert: "Oh you mean keywords and stuff like that?"
SEO Expert: "Yep, SERP, PPC, IPO, Google, Slot, Adwords, Keyword, Page Rank, all that stuff."
Social Media Expert: "Dude, you sound like…"
SEO Expert: "I know…"
Social Media Expert: "An expert!"
SEO Expert: "Thanks! Do you want m to write a recomendation for your burgeoning LinkedIN profile? You sound like you know what you are talking about too."
Social Media Expert: "Let's do this!"
SEO Expert: "We can combine our knowledge and skills!"
Social Media Expert: "We'll have superpowers!"
SEO Expert: "I'll write you a killer recommendation on LinkedIN, it will do wonders for your brand!"
Social Media Expert: "I'll write you one too. We will rule the place."
SEO Expert: "What shall we call this place?"
Social Media Expert: "Something really good for our SERPs!"
SEO Expert: "See you're learning already. And something that will BUILD our reputations as experts!"
Social Media Expert: "Egggggactly!"
SEO Expert: "So what's a good term for what we are doing right now? What will build traffic for both of us?
Social Media Expert: "What shall we call this phenomenon that brought even to of us together… Something punchy!
SEO Expert: "Something with no BS!"
Social Media Expert: "Or maybe just the opposite…"
SEO Expert: "See, YOU are the expert my friend!"
Social Media Expert: "You said it!"
SEO Expert: "Right!"
Social Media Expert: "We're both EXPERTS."
SEO Expert: "We're gonna take this thing all the way to the bank."
Social Media Expert: "No body will be able to catch us, we're gonna rule this place. Rule it!
SEO Expert: "And make a lot of money."

>> to be continued – please add your own verses in the comments as you see fit <<

cinematic theme played in my mind behind the dream – when I woke up this song was actually playing on my iPod.

Too Fake for the World – by a band called Hockey

Look out, I'm just to fake for the world
Aw you know it's just a game to me…
Oh I'm just to fake you see
Wish I didn't have to be…

A Pirate's Life for Meeeee: Now about this Duck Song Thing? (Waddle Waddle Waddle)

Category: just for fun, music, speed the webjmacofearth @ 8:48 pm

Monty Python gives us George Harrison doing a classic.

But I don't under stand the Duck Song deal. 4.8 meeeellion views? And the muppets "The Cat Came Back," has a mere 178k+. Kids today… By golly.

Again, I will admit to being clueless. Perhaps it's time to do an updated downgraded version of the The Cat Came Back. Like this guy's (Doc Watson) version, I like it a lot.

Devil went down to Georgia. How about a Cat Went Down to Georgia mashup with Cat Came Back and Duck Song? I'm thinkin…
