If you’re into salsa you’ll more than likely heard of Bachata – This is a cool tune by Romeo Santas, featuring Usher (yes, Usher!). The acting is awful, but the song’s quite wicked.

I’ve been a fan of Sarah McLachlan’s music for many years, from her own songs to the parts she plays in electronic music. This evening I came across one of her songs called Dirty Little Secret and it’s an awesome track, well worth taking the time to listen to.

Enjoy..

On Friday night whilst having drinks, surfing the Internet and looking for brilliant content, the Omo advert came up in discussion and I’ve been laughing ever since. Don’t you think that this is one of the best adverts you’ve ever seen:

I’ve laughed and laughed and laughed. Priceless.

Whilst we’re on the topic of awesome videos, check out Kitty Corliss, Grinding the Crack:

Inspired by Jeb Corliss obviously. Btw, that’s AWOLNATION – Sail, lyrics here.

This awesome response of Slovakian viola player, Lukas Kmit, to a ringing cell phone during his recital has been doing the rounds. If you’ve ever been interrupted by a noisy, inappropriate cell phone during a movie, performance or presentation, enjoy…

I recently blogged about Airborne, a South African startup that provides artists with a way to gain followers and earn some money whilst letting fans follow artists and receiving new releases and updates before anyone else. This evening I’m looking at another music related service called Tubalr.

The idea is quite simple, YouTube gives us all a place to find artists and to watch their music videos, but have you ever noticed how cluttered YouTube can be? Well Tubalr solves this, it allows you to search for an artist and watch their music video with ease without all the YouTube nonsense around it!

All you do is enter in the band or artists name and Tubalr will return the music video and allow you to watch it without all the clutter. A neat sidebar navigation is provided to help you find other videos related to your search.

It’s best to try it out though and you can do that at www.tubalr.com

I came across a pretty clever Facebook Page this evening entitled, “Number One Song When You Were Born” which asks you to LIKE the page when you arrive, so naturally you like the page as you’ve more than likely come to the page through the recommendation of someone else – So, I LIKED the page (along with the other almost 2 million users) and the content was revealed.

The Facebook Page then reveals what the number one song on the billboard was when you were born – this meme has gone crazy over the past week as you can imagine and I wouldn’t be surprised if you see lots of people feeding their number one songs into their news feed.

If you’re too cool for Facebook, then I’ll save you the trouble, simply click here (wikipedia) and select your year of birth ;)

Mine is Eye of the Tiger by Survivor!

Sheesh, we all know how darn fast Busta Rhymes can rap, but take a load of these dude letting rip:

I don’t think I could even rap that quickly on a gram of meth!

PhilJ Drums does a number of covers of popular songs and this is definitely one of his best ones; not only is this an awesome tune, just check his talent – throwing in his own bits and pieces here and there, brilliant.

Take a watch:

And here’s the band the plays for, After the Anthems:

By now you all know that I’m loving dubstep and that the following behind dubstep is getting larger and larger! So anyway, a mate of mine sent me a link to an awesome beatboxer who does dubstep and I have to admit, it’s damn impressive.
