The End of Thanksgiving and the Beginning of Christmas Music

Well, if you read the title, you pretty much understand the whole context of this blog post. Yes, Thanksgiving ended just two days ago,(I had mine yesterday) and with the end of Thanksgiving radio stations feel the freedom to run wild with Christmas music, okay so maybe that's just a bit of an exageration... Anyway, congratz, you now get to listen to the same music, everywhere, all the time. Oh-de-joy. However, never fear, DJ Ultimate is here to save you!

Okay, so I can't end all Christmas music even if I wanted to. What I CAN do is throw you a few tips to help you survive the Christmas music season. Here we go:
1. Don't listen to it more than you have to.
I know, that sounds ridiculous and obvious, or even outrageous to some people, but you can do it! Trust me, you will hear enough of it, whether at the grocery store, or at a friend's house, or basically anywhere. Instead of putting the radio on the Christmas station, put it on a station that doesn't play music that is Christmas.
2. Listen to what you want to.
Important: HALF OF CHRISTMAS MUSIC IS BADLY PRODUCED POP. Good, now that we have that out of the way, we discuss the possibilities of Christmas Music. This leaves another half of the music to be good, or at least un-annoying. I know I like me some Bin Crosby and Amy Grant sometimes. I even find some Christmas music that isn't even as well. (Shake Up Christmas by Train) Great! Listen to it! Now, when Dominic(k)? the Donkey decides to come to town with Santa Baby on a Hippopotamus(I could find no picture) I would like to hear your desperate screaming from here. "SOMEBODY CHANGE THE STATION!!!" Anyway, choose your Christmas music, just because you turned it on doesn't mean you can't turn it off.

3. Lastly, Don't forget to eat popcorn or some Christmas food, applesauce for instance.
You may or may not have noticed those have nothing to do with Christmas, but my meaning beyond the delicious snacks is this. Enjoy it! This music only really comes once a year, even if for a prolonged period of time. Get into the spirit of Christmas, rejoice in gift-giving and the praising of the savior's birth! If you are trying to enjoy the Christmas season, you are 100% more likely to enjoy it. Don't mope, or we'll give you a dunce cap and make you sit in the corner, where you will forced to read my blog! Mwahahaha! Huh? Oh yeah, well that's about everything. Unless you are one of my gnomes working on my blog, in which case you should get back to work.

Happy Thanksgiving and an anticipatory Merry Christmas!

The Wonders of Grooveshark

Welcome to my blog, you are obviously lost if you ended up here. Click here to return to Google and search for another blog. If you clicked on that link you will notice that it in fact does NOT lead to Google. Sorry, I lied. That link refers you to the mother of all music, or at least in my opinion. Grooveshark.

Gauging First Reactions... "What the half-note!"

Grooveshark, although it may sounds like a shark who likes to groove to music, it is nothing of that sort. Once again, sorry for the disappointment folks. This W.M.D. has pretty much every song in the history of the world for your grubby little fingertips to grasp. Many people use it to find out if they like songs before the download them to put on their iPods. 

Speaking of downloading, I find it only fair to address the issue of illegal music in this post. No, the music itself is not illegal, you downloading it for free is though. Please don't do it.(We all know what the B-I-B-L-E says about stealing.) Imagine yourself walking into a CD store, if there is such a thing, we'll go with a Borders. Now have your imaginary you walk down the aisles, picking off every CD on the aisle as you go, now watch everyone ELSE do it and walk out of the store, funny picture huh? Well, that's what you're doing when you use "LimeWire" or free music sites, it's baaad. Yes, I'm talking to you Jacob and Edward. Anyways, please don't steal from artists, you're killing their livelihood(<-awesome word).

Anyways, back to Grooveshark. Every time a song gets played the artists gets cha-ching, and you get a 0$ price sign on your listen, sounds good right?... This is when you say "right!"... Grooveshark, if you make an account, lets you create libraries and playlists, just like you do ITunes! Woozily!(That's what the auto correct for Woopie! was) No catch, besides ads and promo backgrounds, and you get tons of free music. If you're one of those people who doesn't have an iPod and they just listen to music on the computer, this is your heaven! If you hadn't heard of it yet, please comment and let me know that I benefited your life in some way. If you have, please explain to the world how awesome Grooveshark is. (I mean you Isaac. Cough.) 

Those of you who don't know, I have a Grooveshark account called "Shinntypennty", and I also share a YouTube with my Brother Outlaw Grant called Shinntypennty. To conclude this blog post I will demonstrate how awesome hyperlinks are.

Hyperlinks are FUN!
