I stumbled on this sometime during this past summer,
This guy kutiman mixed a bunch of you tube videos together most of which are how to videos,but when they are all mixed they make for an interesting and pleasant listening experience.
thru-you
(My favorite track would be track 4 _Babylon band)

I hope you enjoy this lite dose,
and i'll see you all tonight,
or at your next dose .
Todays dose we have a little thing called Black Rock Shooter,
The phenomenon started out when an artist by the name of huke posted an illustration on his blog titled black rock shooter in december of 2007.The illustration inspired Ryo of the band -supercell (the band that first used and popularized Hatsune Miku)to write a song of the same name on their album.With the help of artist huke the black rock shooter music video became wildly popular among vocaloid,and anime fans alike...but they wanted something more,more then a 5 minute music video.In July of 2010 the black rock shooter OVA(original video animation) was released. This 50 minute anime movie helped to expand the black rock shooter universe for its numerous fans. The animation focuses on the life of two junior high girls who become friends... while at the same time, an alternate story following the BRS character is also presented.
(*for any of you non anime fans out there roughly translated im saying ...depressed junior highschool girls blossoming friendship with slight lesbian undertones/ hardcore goth bitches with massive guns and skull minions.... If that sounds intriguing...ya might want to check it out>videos below<)
The reaction to just one single drawing has be astronomical figurines,music,an ova and there is also rumblings of a black rock shooter RPG game coming out on sony japan network.... anyways i get what its all about and hope thanks to this post you have a better idea of what drives those robot/ computer gods in japan crazy.
*On a personal note I would really really enjoy a full animated series to show up
I was gonna save this dose for a monday as it pertains to music but I discovered a few vid's so i pushed it forward.
So todays dose is about vocaloid's >.< YAY A vocaloid is a singing synthesizer software financially backed by the Yamaha corporation. (those guys that make guitars)The software enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody then a piano interface is used so melody and the lyrics can be entered on to each note. The software can also change the stress of the pronunciations, add effects such as vibrato, or change the dynamics and tone of the voice.
Each Vocaloid is sold as "a singer in a box." One of the more successful editions of this vocaloid software is Hatsune miku who's got the same star power in some countrys as a Diva.... now you must be thinking to yourself "an animated piece of software has a huge world following? ...wow!?" But the software couldnt have found a better marketplace... you guessed it japan!
>This video is a look into how miku was created and got popular... not I repeat not a 13 minute long song:P<
*You may have to adjust the captions size
Not computery enough for you? or maybe you just want to see the dark side of vocaloids! (yes there is a sub-sect of vocaloids called UTAU and they are generaly user based sound banks with user created characters and most of the time those characters stated goal is to kill and takeover their corporate counter part)
Well then maybe you would enjoy some Sukone Tei!
As you will see most of Tei's tracks have a hard rock/tecno feel to them, rather then a melodic or pop-ish sound of other official vocaloids.
**sry the pic on this one sux but the song is catchy**
^also this is a crappy example of tei^
This is more like it ^.^
Even if these computerized girlz and they'r unatural voices don't appeal to your sense of music you could at least be happy for those of us born with robotic ears, and hearts drawn in an anime style!
First we have the band -just a band , "a kenyan somewhat experimental,DIY,geeky boy band" as they put it
The band came together on february 7th 2003 when bill's van ran over dan's foot thus allowing them to meet.then it turns out that the van has a spirit trapped in it that loves funk music....and something about a crater.... i'll just let them tell you, just a band history
Also just a band made the legendary makmende video
(makmende is a kenyan basterization of the phrase "make my day" from sudden impact)
Just a bands sweet sweet electro beats and cool makmende style makes a nice mix to listen to in the car,on your bike, or in your house, where ever good times are had,there's just a band !
Next ive just got some sweet anime intro's
I know,I know, they arn't really artist's that you can go to itunes and download but i find myself listening to these intros and outro's all the time so that's enough of a reason for me to put them up here on a music monday.
*If you do enjoy any of these
find um on youtube and make a playlist would be my suggestion
code geass's second season opener (ROCKIN)
Tank from cowboy bebop(JAZZY)
*expect an anime review featuring this anime once i get around to finishing it up *
Gurren lagann one of the best short term animes (big suprise it has a kick ass opening :D)
**again expect an anime review of this sometime this week**
Well there you have it another music monday. I know it was a little light on new artists for you to check out but give me a break ive gotta stretch music mondays on indefinitely,but still I hope you found something new to love.
and I'll see you at your next dose!

As the title rightly implies todays dose is about the site m0ar.org
m0ar Is a site of mostly funny random flash videos from around the net. The site also employs a endlessyoutube-esk funtion.
currently the site contains over 5,000 videos. and with the easy upload features and user generated content that number is only gonna go up.
Really the easiest way to understand the site is to take about five minutes and try it out.
**(warning may lead to endless hours of net surfing)**
Here are some links to a few of my personal favorites
-Snoop
-DRIVE'IN(best freaking video! Its not a porn game like the start screen suggests)
-KA BOOM!
-Troll put in his place (ANIME STYLE)
-Just in time for german Harry/Potter
srysly I just spent about 40 minutes on the site just picking out these =P
Well there you have it, another internet watering hole for you to visit when you have that paper due!
