John McCain Disregards Intellectual Property Rights of Musicians - Jackson Browne Fights Back

John McCain just takes what he wants, without any regard to laws, permissions, and legalities. In fact, I bet McCain doesn't even know what he did wrong:



---
Jackson Browne DID NOT want McCain to use his song, and decides to sue him (RIGHT ON!)



---
Awesome new track by Jackson Browne

Stephen and the Colberts - "Charlene (I'm Right Behind You) - The Rock Band 2 Avatar Video

Previously, Metanomics and SLCN.tv invited Stephen Colbert to come into Second Life to talk about the issues in the Metanomics Stephen Colbert Challenge

Mr Colbert declined by way of miscommunications, mainly, he miscommunicating back.

Well, as it turns out, Mr Stephen Colbert decided to spend his time another way.... by making a virtual avatar video for Rock Band 2.

Well, Mr Colbert.... we see now which side of the platforms you're on.
You're a Gameican and us Second Lifers are Universeacrats.

"Sly Fox" by Nas on The Colbert Report

The Colbert Report gets better every single day right at the most important time in the world. I am a FIRM believer that if Obama is elected the nation and the entire world will take a turn and start healing to become a better place. I can't stress how important it is to make sure McCain is NOT PRESIDENT!

The Fox Noise Channel is a propeganda network, which has money wrapped in internet too. I don't want money corrupting information on the internet. EVER.



Check out the whole episode HERE

EDIT: Ouch, looks like Comedy Central took down the video of Nas' performance :O(

Here's one from the show though.



And here's the new tune "Sly Fox"


--

"Sly Fox" by Nas

[Intro]

So we look at what's going on -- this as an EXTREME aggression, um
I'm also hearing about it from EVERYWHERE!
It's-it's on the islands, it's on the continent, it's here: it's everywhere!
And this is, if you will, a WAR -- An all out assault by...

[Verse 1:NaS]

The sly fox
Cyclops
We locked
In the idiot box
The video slots
Broadcast
The Waco Davidian plots
They own YouTube, Myspace
When this ignorant shit gon' stop?
They monopolizing news
Your views
And the channel you choose
Propaganda
Visual cancer
The eye
In the sky
Number five
On the dial
secret agenda
Frequency antenna
Doctor mind bender
Remote control
soul
Controller
Your brain holder
Slave culture
Game's over
What's a Fox characteristic?
Slick shit
Sensin'
Misinformation
Pimp the station
Over stimulation
Reception
Deception
Comcast digital Satan
The Fox has a bushy tail
And Bush tells
Lies and Foxtrots
So I don't know what's real

[Chorus]

Watch what you watchin'
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin'

Watch what you watchin'
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin'

[Verse 2:NaS]

The Fear Factor got you all rattled up
O' Reilly
Oh really?
No rally needed
I'll tie you up
Network for child predators, settin' 'em up
Myspace pimps, hoes, and sluts
Ya'll exploit rap culture, then ya'll flip on us
And you own the post, and ya'll shit on us
What is they net worth?
They gon' try to censor my next verse?
Throw 'em off the roof neck first
While I'm clicking my cursor
Reading blogs about the pressure they put on Universal
It gets worse while I'm clicking my mouse
While they kickin' my house
They figured us out
Why a nigga go south
It's either he caught a body, no sleep they watchin'!
I watch CBS
And I See B.S.!
Tryin' to track us down with GPS
Make a nigga wanna invest in PBS

[Chorus]

Watch what you watchin'
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin'

Watch what you watchin'
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin'

[Verse 3:NaS]

They say I'm all about murder-murder and kill-kill
But what about Grindhouse and Kill Bill?
What about Cheney and Halliburton? (Halliburton?)
The backdoor deals
On oil fields
How's NaS the most violent person?
Ya'll don't know talent if it hit you
Bringin' up my criminal possession charges with a pistol (pistol)
I use Viacom
As my firearm
And let the lyrics split you
Who do you rely upon?
They shoot shells at Leviathan
I'm dealing with the higher form
F**k if you care how I write a poem?
Only Fox that I love was the red one
Only black man that Fox loves is in jail or a dead one!
Red rum
Political bedlam
Don't let the hype into your eyes and ear drum
Murdoch on Fox
Not 18 with Barracas
And he hate Barack cause
He march with the marchers

[Outro]

I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth.
Not the biased truth
Not the liar's truth
But the highest truth
I will not be deceived
nor will I believe
In the Propaganda
I will not fall for the Okey-Doke
I am tuned-in

[NaS]

Watch, cause they're watching
Watch what you're watching

Better watch, cause they're watching
Watch what you're watching

Me-Me-Media
Misleading ya

Watch what you're watching

Rush on The Colbert Report - July 16th, 2008

In an ongoing attempt to get Stephen Colbert into SL...

Props to the Innovators who Revolutionized Music Distribution & Telecommunications

While watching Colbert Report (June 17th) his guest was Jonathan Zittrain, author of The Future of the Internet--And How to Stop It .

Anyway, not that the author had anything uninteresting to say, but I'm guessing the author prefers that the mainstream never started using the net... and crap like myspace is junking up the supposedly limited supply of space for filejunk, and there's probably a section about his thoughts on why we cannot have net neutrality, because someday the bandwidth supply will run out... I dunno, I got the impression that the book wasn't something I was gonna read. Then the author went in to mention how hackers possibly have potentially already placed files onto your computers, and they are programmed to explode on a future date..... aaaaaannnnywayyyy.

The purpose of this blog post, is to give props to Niklas Zennström, Janus Friis, and Priit Kasesalu!!! Kazaa and FastTrack were created by Niklas, Janus, and Priit (all of whom were later to create Skype and later on still Joost). It was introduced by their Dutch company Consumer Empowerment in March 2000, near the end of the first generation of P2P networks typified by the shut down of Napster on July 2002.

These guys revolutionized much more than what they are given credit for.. These three completely rendered two leechingly successful industries useless (or heading towards outta there): the music industry and the telecommunications industry. Niklas, Janus, and Priit did SO much more than many will know. I do believe over time, these three will be recognized as people on top 100 lists of people that changed the world... eventually.... they are the initiators that will eventually put the music business and the phone business out of business.

(PS, if you're saying to yourself, no way music industry or telecom industry will ever go out of business.... no, their companies may not, but they will also advance to new things. But consider this, both industries are complaining massive losses in the millions over past years. Sony's music dept complains on a daily basis of how they're losing millions and if it continues they don't even know what'll happen. As for telecom companies; skype, VOIP, and such aren't mainstream yet, but they will be... once companies realize they can make international calls for free from any computer, they'll be a shift in the phone industry too.

Verizon and Orange seem to be doing okay.

Yay smart people that invent stuff. I bet the dudes that invented the typewriter, fax machine, and beeper were crazy pissed when they were rendered unwanted and pointless.

"Bumpin' It" or "Terrorist Fist Jab"

Most humans on Earth (and other beings on planets) know this gesture as giving someone a bump. You're bumpin' it. Bumpin' knucks.

Real news reports that Fox Noise Channel likes to call it "Terrorist Fist Jabs". Other lunatics like to call it "Hizbollah hand jabbing"

Anyway, the whole point to this is to check out RDV Animations new up-and-coming product "RDV Meet & Greet HUD 2.0" (which I hear is actually going to be released TODAY so visit Muse Isle. One dual-avatar animation option includes the awesome "bumpin' knucks."

Sexism in the US Presidental Race

On my ongoing posts about nothing having to do with Second Life music....

"To women... misogyny is like Jazz. They know it when they hear it."
-Kristen Schaal

....
wait a minute... I think I can connect this US politics Comedy Central thread to Second Life music. A bit of a 'six-degrees-of-pixelation' if you will..... lemme see if I can relate this to Second Life.

Ok, Comedy Central is awesome, Jon Stewart & The Daily Show are awesome.
Kristen Schaal is awesome and funny!! She also appears on the HBO show Flight of the Conchords. Flight of the Conchords are also on www.thesixtyone.com (and kicking ass mind you). And hundreds of Second Lifers LOVE and BUMP Flight of the Conchords....

And of course we must not forget the Avadudes protest regarding sexism, which sparked the potential talk about this possibly turning into another protest...i think.
... plus, there's a wonder woman outfit in SL too.

More Politics on The SL DJ and Club Blog

From time to time on this blog, I post about politics. True, it has nothing to do with Second Life, DJs, Music, or anything...... however, many many DJs, clubbers, musicians, and generally SLers seem to be out of the loop of American politics (which should be something of importance to the world.... meaning, if McCain wins, there will be a horrible future for the world... if Obama wins, the world will continue towards a positive path). I try not to veer this blog in oddball directions, however, it's important to me, for the SL scene to take notice:

1) Vote for Obama
2) Watch "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report"
3) Watch MSNBC and read REUTERS for factual world news. (CNN & BBC are also reliable news sources,just less pertaining to politics)
4) Do NOT watch Fox Noise Channel
4a)Bill O'Reilly is an idiot
4b)Sean Hannity is an idiot
4c) Rush Limbaugh is draft dodging, drug addict (painkillers), a laugh riot, and is PAID by Republics to spew their shit out over the radio.
6) Rupert Murdoch is aiding terrorists and owns 68% of the media since G.W. Bush allowed all of the media to be controlled by one person. (added note: Murdoch just purchased Wall Street... so now he owns the media & the stock exchanges. Bill Gates couldn't even wear Rupert Murdoch's jock strap.)

And now, on with a video:

Mr. Stephen Colbert, it's Time you Come into Our World and Answer for your Warcrimes! - Metanomics Colbert Challenge

"...The Metanomics Colbert Challenge
SLCN has outdone itself, wrapping that segment up into the Metanomics Colbert Challenge in the form of a youtube video. Pass it on to your friends...or to Stephen, if you know him...

More info to come as it develops. We expect S. Colbert to arrive in to SL to discuss a thing or two
