Music... What comes next?... BILLBOARDS OBVIOUSLY!

I would like you all to know that I am a terrible blogger. This is only my third blog post and I am out of ideas. Go figure. Anyways, today I'm gonna go music hunting. Recently I've been searching up new releases as they come up, which is something I've never done before. I've been looking at the charts, figuring out what music I like, and what music is hitting the top.

Yo Hippity Hop. (Note to Self: Do not fight the Energizer Bunny, he has marshmallow mallets and unlimited energy. He's like Mario, on candy.)











While searching on my magical quest of adventure unicorns(beware, not all magical unicorns are nice, some steal kidneys, choose your friends wisely.), I found this magical site of wonder and enjoyment. Billboard.com
Billboards is a Spanish music festival, beware the salsa, and then some. It's completely up to date with album releases, music charting, and the latest and greatest music news. If you look at Billboard's site, on the right you'll see the buzz, here's Billboard's top ten today.




s for the top 10, this is what we have for today:

Greatest Hits...So Far!!!
The first you probably wonder when looking at this list is where is number nine? Well, let's just say number nine was inappropriate in the TITLE(none of the pictures were explicit, but better safe then sorry). Which brings me to my NEXT point, which is, I am not encouraging you to listen to this music. Most of it is filled with cursing or is in appropriate in one way or another. However, I know that one of my favorites right now is Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars. Not all these songs are bad,(trying not offend) and I really enjoy the musical quality of some of them. However, this is Billboards'(s) top ten, not mine. Don't like them? Make your own and comment it on here.

However, say you want something more specific, and are begging me, "Mr. DJ Ultimate, is there anyway we can get a more narrow selection?" Well, lucky for you, there just happens to be a way to do just that. Now excuse me as I scroll around the site desperately trying to remember how I found it. Oh, here it is. From the main site click on charts, then click all charts in the bottom right hand corner so that you end up here. However, for me personally, being a Christian, I like Christian music so I'll usually end up here. Look, whadaya know, there's my Christian top ten! Now these are some artists I don't have to worry about listening to without a nagging voice saying, "You shouldn't be listening to that. Can I have a cookie?" Instead of guilt, all I feel is happiness, and give the little voice inside my head the cookie that he so desires from his heart. Here's the Christian top 10, stay tuned for mine.

The only thing explicit about this top ten is Chris Tomlin's face. Anyway, now you know how to find top ten by genre, if you look back at that page you will also notice Billboards does top ten albums too. Woohoo!

Alright, moving on, I still have to hit one more topic. Blogging is such a drag.

(That guy knows how to drag race!)

Topic #2ish: New Releases! Hey that's what I told you in the beginning anyway isn't it! Yes, yes it is. Don't argue with me Jeremy! You can get to new releases by click the reviews button on Billboards'(s) front page, or basically any of their other pages. Oooh, new albums! I expect to a prettty amazing smile on your face, like creepy almost. I have a great story about a freaky face I will tell you about at the end. Right now we have a new album by the Black Eyed Peas-The Beginning which is bound to be filled with cursing and therefore not worth my time in listening. However, you may feel differently. I know that when the Tobymac album Tonight was released, I found out about it a couple days after because of billboards. That was before I even really knew about it. I checked out M(y)C(hemical)R(omance)'s new album Danger Days(blahblahkilljoyblah) and it was pretty good. A bunch of their songs had cursing, but not all of them. There are three songs that I like in particular starting with Sing, followed by Summertime, and ending with The Only Hope For You Is Me. The best of these in my opinion is Sing.Wait, did I already link you to that song? (rapidly checks past posts.) Nope. That's a relief. Anyways, you understand the use of the billboards now, I check back every once in a while to find new news.(ha, new news) Well, there's probably more to this site, but I've exhausted my store of wizarding knowledge. Accio Storytime!

So, when I was younger, I had this fear of scary things. Okay, I STILL have this fear of scary things. However, when I was younger my older brother decided he wanted to freak me out. This is what he did, he took a camera, freezed the scary scene of Bilbo making that freaky face of Bilbo spazing on Frodo, then put as our desktop background on our computer. First time I logged in, I got scared out of my wits, however, for some reason I wasn't smart enough to CHANGE it. So every time I logged in, it pulverized my stomach. Here is this disturbing image from my childhood.
PROCEED WITH CAUTION AND CURIOSITY!









My Dad also had one of those pop-up videos, it freaked me out so much I ran outside and hid in the car. Mm.. and another one that screamed after staring for a cat, I fell off the rainbow road in Mario Cart because of it.(Thanks alot Luke) Yeah, DJ Ultimate, not such a big horror fan. Not giving the link to either. Well, that about wraps up my post for today. If you are wondering what this last piece has to do with music. I have no clue, be creative.

Don't forget to post your top ten for me, I might make a collection and post it!
