Full of goodies

Hello, readers -
I realize that I've been neglecting my blog again and I am sorry. I've missed you all but real life kind of got in the way there for awhile.

Hopefully I'm back now. :)

Anyway, I have al sorts of stuff for you today!

First of all.
Rock Band 3, which is due out this holiday season for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, has new and improved existing features as well as something completely new.

Ready?

They totally added keys.
I'm not even joking.

Since the first Guitar Hero came out, I've heard numerous guitarists complain that the timing was all wrong when you played the guitar controller, but I didn't really know the difference. Being a musician, but not a guitarist, I could hear that the timing was a little weird (by timing I mean the rhythmic differences between what I was seeing on the screen and what I was hearing compared further with when to "strum" the guitar). I feel like that was just always something that would annoy a guitarist.

I haven't played Rock Band yet, any of them. Not like I don't want to, the opportunity just hasn't presented itself to me. But I wonder, should I get my hands on one of these keyboard controllers, if I'll have the same complaints that guitarists have had? I grew up playing piano, so it'll be interesting to see how that goes.

If you go here: click it you can check out a video on USA Today's website. They go into more detail about all the new features Rock Band 3 will have.

Moving right along then...
Check out this sweet video of a dude playing Lady Gaga's Telephone. (Yes, I'm aware that Beyonce had something to do with the song as well...I just choose not to acknowledge it...)

If you check out this cat's YouTube page, you'll find some of the other covers he's done.

Switching gears again..

So who here watches 'Glee'? Cause I sure do and I like it a lot. Though I found an article today that
stirred up a lot of thoughts that I just hadn't really thought about before.

Copyright and 'Glee' - What is the show teaching people about intellectual property? 

I have some quality educational experience in copyright laws, but I have to admit, it's been a
little while since I took the class. I promise I'll be referencing those class notes and
presentations later, now that I've read this article.

Check out here: Gleek it.

I want to know your thoughts on this article, especially if you also watch 'Glee'.
Because I certainly have a lot of mixed thoughts about it. Leave any comments
or questions in the comments box below *points down*, and remember you
don't have to be a member of anything to leave a message.

And last but not least, this little Family Circus cartoon made me smile.

I've got more things to share with you, readers, but for right now, I have to rock on out of here.

But as always, keep on rocking in the free world, and have a fantastic weekend!
