Week 35, 2009

1) My 1st Song - Jay-Z So far I think this is my favorite Jay-Z song. I finally checked out the Black Album last night & now i know why it is considered his masterpiece.


2) The Numbers Song - Acid Girls Fantastic Electro/Techno song with blazing hot chics walking around half-naked. Sounds like just another music video, but this one is unlike any of them. It fits the music perfectly & creeps the hell out of you by the time its over. Its also a song that will be not liked by everyone. Esp because its techno. And thats why thing is a good song that separates the loser snobs of music.

3) My 1st Big Break - Cut Chemist

Worlds 1st 360degree Panaromic video.

4) Sing Sang Sung - AIR They are back with a new album. From how this song sounds seems to me like its a return to Moon Safari.

5) Velvet - The Big Pink I like almost everything I hear from their new album.

6) Die Slowly(Tobacco Remix) - Health

Add On Softwares

I discovered some really cool tools last night at 4am trying to go to sleep. Thanks to Farhad Manjoo @ SLATE. I never miss his articles.

I discovered the Prototypes on Facebook. I liked the Desktop Notification add-on for Mac OS. Now I need to sync it with Safari instead of Firefox.

I also opened a much needed account on MINT. Its a really fantastic tool to keep track of all your finances. Now instead of going to 3 different bank websites, i can keep track of everything on Mint. It also helps you organize your finances better. They just got bought over by Intuit last week for $170 Million.

Then I browsed FireFox Add ons for a minute just to see whats going on there. I ended up installing Cooliris.

Oh I completely forgot. Check out TWONES. Its a software that integrates all your online music accounts like Hypem, youtube. Its exactly what i needed. Now all I need is a invite. I even joined their Facebook Group( something I never do).

Week 34, 2009

A Flaming Lips Week. Esp their best album Yoshimi.

1) Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt.1

2) Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt.2 - My fav track of the Album.

3) Fight Test

4) She Don't Use Jelly

5) Die Slowly( Tobacco Mix) - Health A really cool song I heard on the first Hypem Radio Countdown.

Worst week in a decade

A Car Accident.
Car Totalled.
Thumb Sprained & Immobile.
A very very bad week.
A new low in depression.

Things can only get better.

T-Mobile finally fucked me

After being a super satisfied customer in LA of T Mobile for 4 years, the have finally screwed me last month. One sunday night I was suddenly disconnected without any warning. When I called then I was informed that my bill had crossed the limit of 150$. Which surprised the hell out of me since my automatic payment to them had just gone through a week back. Apparently I exceeded my 1000 text messages and had touched 1500 texts last month. And the charge you 20 cents per text once you go over your limit. Pretty steep i would say.
Now there are two problems with this scenario. I was never warned that I had crossed 1000 texts. When I complained about that the operator lamely told me that I can always access that online or on my phone. Agreed. But who checks that everyday. Even if I do the T-Mobile(or any other company) must warn me about it.
What sucks is that I have been contemplating buying a i-Phone for past one year. I just never did because of the bad reputation of ATT. Everyone portrayed them as some kind of monster. And I was quite happy with T-Mobile. Maybe I would get a Google Phone once they stop being that ugly. They are half-way there. They just need hipper & younger people than Whoopi to be on their commercials.
So maybe in next couple of month I will finally move to iPhone. So long T Mobile.
