Now this is what I’m talking about! Are you one of those music lovers who savors the process of buying a new cd and reading the credits/liner notes, while taking in the new sounds? This is an essential part of an album’s impression on the customer. Currently, with digital downloads, you get pictures and videos. Meh :-[
MusicDNA may be the answer…
With this new file format on the horizon, boasting up to 32gb of file space, you can get the whole kitchen sink with your download. This may save that sacred “ceremony” that most music enthusiast crave from the digital age.
Here is an excerpt from the BBC report:
” The new file, MusicDNA, can include things like lyrics, videos, artwork and blog posts, which will continually be updated, as well as the music.”
“It has been created by Norwegian developer Dagfinn Bach, who worked on the first MP3 player in 1993.
And its investors include German researcher Karlheinz Brandenburg, who is credited with inventing the MP3.”
Of course, the price and support from major lables may become an issue. We are watching closely.

I remember growing up and listening to all these raps but especially Eminem. I never really knew what it all ment but I still memorized all the raps and sang these songs like I was Mrs.Seuss[my rapper name when I was yay high]. Anyways, I love his lyrics even though sometimes its way too much. It’s still some real shhh.I especially remember last year when the boys and I were chillin after a party at Danny E’s house and for some reason we were really listening to this somg. I was rapping it like nothing and got embarrased when the boys were just looking at me spit thoes rhymes. Anyways heres a flashback.
This weekend the San Diego Super Chargers will put an end to all of this media hype and love fest that has fallen on the ridiculous New York Jets just for winning ONE playoff game?!?
Here at the Jerrrybrice’s Blog…we hate on the New York east coast Jets,and any other team that dares to step to us, and LOVE the San Diego Super Chargers!!!
It’s nothing personal, just sports business…and I am not above trash talking!
Now…I appreciate all of my east coast supporters,..believe that!!!…but this is about football, and basic loyalty to my home town, and my team that has been on this path, entertaining us fans, for more than 40 years!
That is not going to change, no matter what happens….but if the Chargers move to Los Angeles,…all bets are off!
This weekend the Chargers will destroy the hapless Jets…it is our destiny.
Bet the farm!!!..
In the meantime, enjoy LT’s unique rap video,…or at least have a few laughs.
If you agree, or disagree, leave a comment here, before the game!
Re-Up Gang feat. Styles P – “The Raw Is Back (Remix)”

Here is the link an interview that my sister sent today with that bitch person who “lived Oprah” for the year and then wrote a book about it. You need to watch it. It’s like 5 minutes of the worst TV I think I’ve ever seen.
Have you watched it yet? Yeah, now you know why I am understandably incensed about this on multiple levels.
A) That should have been my idea because I live Oprah anyway.
B) How dare she question Oprah’s taste in footwear?
C) If that bitch bought everything Oprah told her too, it would add up to a lot more than $4700. So she cheated.
D) Oprah made her do good for others, like provide books to female felons and save a cat’s life – what’s not to love? What sort of ingrate bites the hand that feeds the world?
E) Finally, when has Oprah ever ruined any normal person’s marriage or sex life? Well….I take that back. Forget point E.
F) She said people view Oprah like their BFF in a way which suggested that somehow that was crazy. I didn’t dedicate my life to making Oprah realize I’m her soul mate so this dumb broad could come along and ridicule me. I swear if I ever see her on the street, I’m going to give her a really mean look. Like, seriously mean. And then I’ll report her whereabouts to Gayle, and you can bet Gayle will give her the beat down she deserves.
That is all I’m going to say about this topic, which has wounded my soul very deeply. If she can’t see Oprah for the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent spiritual healer and teacher who wears really good shoes most days, then she clearly doesn’t understand her subject matter and should be revealed to the world as the charlatan she is. You know who she reminds me of? Debbie Mathers. Eminem’s mom. When she made up that song about him to get rich just because she was mad that he has spent most of his professional life telling stories about how she was the worst mother of all time. I just don’t like when other people try to get famous off the back of someone with the Awesome in them.
I just hope when Eminem isn’t on the phone getting drug counseling from Elton John, he’ll reach out to Oprah to provide some support.
And I would ask that my loyal readers, though none of you like Oprah, light up your cell phones, wave them slowly in the air and watch Eminem’s “Cleaning out my Closet” video I’ve provided access to here:
.
Now you have just a little taste of the rage I have and the angry poetry that I’m about to write about this woman and her dumb book and send to Oprah and her producers in a beautiful laminated album. If you have any worthy submissions, I will consider them, but they have to be really good. I mean, really Oprah-worthy.
25) “Two Weeks,” Grizzly Bear. Working since 2004 as something like indie rock choirboys, Grizzly Bear have with them now a song to make even Brian Wilson smile. Despite Veckatimest’s shortcomings (a tendency to bore), “Two Weeks” is tight, compact, and the best that GB has to offer. The stoned, peaceful cadence for the verse is in perfect counterbalance to the lofty, head-in-the-sky falsetto on the chorus. Throw in some staccato keyboards — a little distorted, not too clean (read: a pinch of lo-fi; even indie deities are not quite timeless) — and four-minutes later Grizzly Bear high-step their way from choirboys to altar-men, triumphantly carrying the song’s melodies to the front of the cathedral, already dripping with nostalgia, ready to be sacrificed to our fragmented memory of the 60s. Amen.
24) “Percussion Gun,” White Rabbits. Take the In Rainbows opener “15 Step,” and distill it from Thom Yorke’s New Years Resolution to stay focused (“How come I end up where I went wrong? / Won’t take my eyes off the ball again”), down to a plan for dealing with ex-lovers. Take the form too and extract the essence again. Make Greenwood’s delicate picking into aggressive guitar strokes, add some pounding, lower-end piano, replace too r.head’s helter-skelter beat with some toms that your drummer beats the shit out of. It might not be pretty, per se, but it’s still better than being Coldplay.
23) “All That We Can See,” Sholi. Davis, Calif. has never sounded so good. Or so dreamy. Keep chanting one-syllable words, Sholi, and we’ll keep listening. Dance for hours? We just might do that too.
22) “Crack a Bottle (feat. Dr. Dre & 50 Cent),” Eminem. Despite the most atrocious rap ever recorded by a platinum artist (ahem, we’ll just say he is two quarters short of a dollar), Eminem and Dr. Dre drop a rap song whose beat swings to and fro so hard listeners will literally smash their Olde E’s. The broken glass, you can’t blame them; it’s not intentional. It’s more like an earthquake shaking people back and forth. Result: fans smashing beers on the wall as they stumble down Dre’s hospital hall. Did I just rhyme? My bad, 50 Cent. I didn’t mean to show you up like that.
21) “Ecstasy,” jj. Okay, jj. We get it: Pulling the infectious sample from Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” was a brilliant maneuver. How you took Wayne’s radio ready hit and transformed it into a languid little ode to clubbing/drugs/raves. Yes, yes, we’re both ecstatic about it. I know, right? His song uses a children’s candy to talk about sex — oh you think he’s implying something about teenage girls, perhaps? Interesting. Interesting too that raves might be the last place where 28 year-old Target managers can find 16 year-old girls in lingerie to make-out with. What’s that you said? Ecstasy is the enabler, the new lollipop? Brilliant, just brilliant. Have I told you how much I love you? No, seriously. I love you so much, jj. So much. You’re the absolute best person I have ever met in my entire life. Don’t ever leave me. This isn’t the drugs talking. This is fucking real. Now hug me. Guess what drug I’m on?
If you haven’t already heard… My “supposed-to-have-already-been-released” album should have been out years ago but… to put it in two words… things happen.
