MotoBoy Hero
Posted by lars | Filed under Music, Video, YouTube
MotoBoy performs “Hero” in a version that is beyond superior the original. Personally I don’t think the girl (Charlotte) adds anything to this version. Just a boy and his electric guitarr. Check out motoboy.se for more of MotoBoy.

But ffs Spotify fix your last.fm integration
Posted by lars | Filed under Music, Software
Fix your damn shit. This is like the millionth time the integration between Spotify and Last.fm stopped working. I want to scrobble damnit!
On a side note, have you felt the speed of my blog? WP-Supercache plugin kicks freaking ass.

Rix FM MMS Stream on Sony PSP
Posted by lars | Filed under Gadgets, Music, Personal, Playstation
Phew. That was a MAJOR pain in the ass. After going through all different kinds of solutions including the homebrews (PSPRadio and another one) and using the custom internet radio..and TVersity… and trying to transcode with VLC I finally….FINALLY got it to work.
My mission was simple, get the mms:// (windows media) stream of Rix FM to work on my Sony PSP (running the latest firmware). I really didn’t think it would take me like 10 hours :) What I am now using is Orb running on a virtualized XP install on my Mac Mini. Man alive..the freaking things you do so that your girl can listen to her favourite radio in the mornings…and for us not to having to shelve out for an internet radio.
Things would be SO much easier if stupid Rix FM would just go Shoutcast instead of RETARD windows media for their stream.
Update: I can soon get rid of running Orb in a virtual environment since an OS X version is around the corner

Media execs, watch and learn from Crunchyroll.com
Posted by lars | Filed under Copyright, Gadgets, Music, Software, Video
Crunchyroll is a video site like YouTube but specialized in anime. I knew that Crunchyroll had been talking about going legit and that they were signing some content distribution deals but I really needed to see it to believe it. Before they worked sort of like YouTube (and in some ways I guess they still do) for anime and had quite a lot of questionable material (copyright-wise) on their site.
They now offer streaming shows in high quality from their site, one of the absolute coolest thing is something they call “simulacast”, this means you can one hour after the latest Naruto airs in Japan – watch it in 720P on their site. Naruto and many, many more (and more coming) are available for only like 60 bucks a year. THIS IS PROGRESS.
In fact this is such a good deal that the largest supplier of Naruto torrents, Dattebayo decided to close down their subtitling of Naruto and instead refer to Cruncyroll and Viz Media (distributor who also offers Naruto in streaming for free, but a week after airing).
Now a streaming option for video I am much more apt to pay for than a streaming option for music, I would just like to be able to bring it with me in a portable format – I’d even be fine with DRM downloads as long as they worked on my iPhone/iPod. (Oh and yes I know that you can rip streams but I’d rather not).
My only caveat with Crunchyrolls service is perhaps that they insist on using FLV which is not really a favorite and is a format that is also quite overly processor intensive. Then again I haven’t really checked..maybe their streams is MP4 compatible and I can watch them on my iPhone..I’m guessing not though. Anyway, since I do watch Naruto I will probably sign up for a year of Crunchyroll to try the service out.
Someone..please..launch world-wide TV series/movies “Spotify” service. I’d pay way more for such a service.

Hard? Guilty as charged

[kml_flashembed movie="http://media.imeem.com/m/77PsCAPO_l/aus=false/" height="80" width="300" /]
I don’t even care what anyone thinks
I stay up all night and I smoke and I drink
I’m a wanted man and I’m blowin town
Don’t even bother tryin’ to hunt me down
The cops are sayin I belong behind bars
And I’m Guilty
I’m Guilty as Charged
I ain’t ever lost a fight in my life
I’ll send you home crying to your fat and ugly wife
If you don’t believe me when I tell you this
Well let me introduce you to my rock hard fist
If you’re accusing me of living too hard
Then I’m Guilty
I’m Guilty as Charged
I ain’t asking God to forgive my sins
Take a Good Look and you’ll know where I’ve been
I’m dancing with the devil every night and everyday
People pay attention to the things that I say
I don’t need anybody’s help to rise above it
If you don’t like the way I’m livin
Buddy why don’t you shove it?
When you feel the ground shaking underneath your feet
Then that’s yours truly walkin down the street
Come a little closer, girl, I’ll show you my scars
Cause I’m Guilty
I’m Guilty as Charged
If you’re saying that my lovin’s too large
Then I’m Guilty
I’m Guilty as Charged
Oh I’m Guilty
I’m Guilty as Charged
You Got Me
I’m Guilty as Charged
