Florida Countdown

I was experimenting with action script for the first time and I whipped up a flash countdown, counting down until I go to Florida
"Hello Youtubes!" - Ronald Jenkees
Posted by Alex on Saturday May 2nd 2009 at 03:38.
As listeners to past shows have heard, every now and then we talk about some sort of musical talent found on the internet. Some of those may be accidental and not talented, such as the Beefy craze, or the rap of the Kersal Massive; but we've included such things as song covers on the Ant and Lex show which have been found on Youtube.
Well just looking at random videos on Youtube yesterday evening I came across this guy: Ronald Jenkees. From the first video I saw I got a good idea of what hes about, and basically he makes music using his Music Keyboard, backed up with beats created himself using FL Studio (Used by famous electronic music artists such as Benga and Skream).
He seems to have a good ear for musical composition which can be noted when he starts playing his songs on his Youtube videos, and the way he puts his music together is something I can relate to after dabbling in music production and definately makes his videos for an interesting watch. Now if im honest, the music he makes is not what I normally listen to, but his skills cannot be put down when talking about him. He claims to have not stuck with lessons, and has played by ear since a young child. This just shows how skills can be picked up and mastered without the need for expensive lessons and education.
His debut album is out and available in a hard copy from his web store, or alternatively if you just want the songs digitally you can buy them from the iTunes store, using the link on his website.
Anyway, check out his videos!
Song Of The Week 27/04/2009: T9 - Oda Nashei Lyubvi
Posted by Alex on Saturday May 2nd 2009 at 03:38.
As a non-Russian speaker, information about T9 is pretty sketchy. Last.fm thought it was a Chinese rock group, and Google thought I was interested in predictive texting. Basically they are a Hip Hop group from Russia, and my favourite of their songs (which is my Song of the Week for this week), is Ода нашей любви (Oda Nashei Lyubvi), which made it onto the soundtrack for the video game Grand Theft Auto: 4. Its featured on the Russian music station within the game called Vladivostok FM, and despite not even getting recognition on the Wikipedia page for the GTAIV soundtrack, is one of my favourite tracks from the game.
If you are in the UK or US, you can listen to the song using Last.fm by clicking here

TMD Site Redesign
Posted by Anthony on Thursday March 19th 2009 at 03:38.
The Media Dudes website and blog has just had an overhaul. We hope this makes the blog easier to read and the videos & photos pages easier to find stuff on.
We're going to be adding the 'Projects' page soon which will have information on past, present and future thing we're working on.
For those of you that are into that sort of thing, the site now uses tableless css and is hopefully valid XHTML, there's still a few bugs to work out caused by this rich text editor we use to post blogs producing some dodgy code.

TGI Friday's Style Jack Daniel's Sauce: Attempt One
Posted by Anthony on Thursday March 12th 2009 at 03:38.
We fell in love with the Jack Daniel's sauce that you can get at TGI Friday's so we've been trying to get a hold of some to have at home. The bottles of it you can buy in supermarkets just don't taste the same so we tried making our own using this recipie.

Guitar Hero: Unsigned
Posted by Joe on Sunday August 10th 2008 at 03:38.
An upcoming modification for Guitar Hero 2 on PS2 and Xbox 360, and for Guitar Hero 3 on PS2, Wii and PC. All songs are those of Unsigned bands, which should increase the fan base of each of the bands involved.
Shortly the site www.GHunsigned.com will be launched, this site will be a new project for unsigned bands only, the reason for this is that aslong as we get permission from the band, there won't be any legal issues. It will be released as a patch, so you either rip or download the game in ISO format, then download this .PFF patch and it will replace all the songs and charts. If you know of any Guitar Hero worthy bands then please link them to the website. We have a few decent bands hooked up, altogether we need around 74. This will be released for 360, Wii and PS2.
