This is the latest playlist that I have, its more mainstream then the dance play list but still a hell of a lot of fun when I’m driving. I like switching between some old school songs to this playlist if I feel like a fun drive. Its always great finding new music, I am always looking around for something new.

I’m a huge fan of Linkin Park, I don’t care if they are mainstream, they make amazing music and this song is a match for the new movie. The video shows a little too much of the movie but still a hell of a lot of fun, now I can’t wait to get the new CD and its been a long wait for this movie.

I enjoy listening to my music when I am sitting at the compute or driving, sometimes I want to drive just to enjoy the music. When I’m driving down the highway after visiting some family, I would have the windows down and music going with the cool wind blowing in my face. It’s a fun feeling with the decent weather the past couple of nights and window, I usually put the window up when I get to a stop light because it gets a bit warm stopped at a light. This is the dance list and one of those songs is the one I used for the GulfRun video.

I have had a few requests a while back about the song from Desert Kings 2 Jokers Kuwait, this is the original music video. I honestly think that the DK2JK video is better then the original music video. The music video is cool but I still enjoy seeing the real off-road version.

After taking a look at my music selection and music options, I thought about changing my audio hardware setup. I usually have music playing in the background in my room. Thankfully you can listen to Satellite radio on the net for a small subscription but its really worth it. I haven’t really used by normal stereo for at least a year or so at this point, after thinking about I’m going to dismantle it and make use of that space. Now that I have the Logic Valve 80 I thought it would be the perfect setup, but there is a little hitch. Its a little bigger then I expected, turned up in a very big box. I thought it would be the size of the Bose Sound Dock, but turns out its much bigger and heavier, and I liked the quality of the build and the weight, I just have to figure out the placement. It is an iPod Dock with a built-in amplifier and hybrid vacuum valve which gives the music a richer sound based on all the reviews.

Now there are a few steps to be tackled before installing the item. I have to figure out a design for the dock, Sonos, and the speakers and get rid of the sound system or just the sound system speakers. Interestingly enough the Valve 80 has two Auxiliary inputs which I could use for the Sonos and the sound system, that would help get rid of the speakers which are taking up a large amount of space. At this point I will go into a complete reorganization of the equipment and items, to rewire everything as neatly as possible, and make more space for the new set of books that I have.

I kept the stock Logic Valve 80 speakers in the box because I’m planning on using the Sonos speakers. I place my Anime Mecha Models on top of the speakers, and the Valve 80 Speakers aren’t flat. I just need some banana plug to sort it out the wiring between the Speakers and the Valve 80. The best part is that all the RCA cables needed to connect to the Valve 80 Auxiliary inputs are included in the box which is a nice touch, also two different types of power cables (2 & 3 Pin Plugs), so they provided all the necessary and optional cables for you.

Then I have to get rid of a few unnecessary things on the shelf. I have about 10 PS3 games sitting on the shelf that I have played and enjoyed, maybe a few I didn’t even open yet. My PS2 burnt out over two and half years ago now, and it isn’t worth fixing, for some reason I still keep those games. As I need the space these days, I’m not sure what to do with the games, I don’t want to throw them away, and I’m not sure if its about the sentimental value but maybe it is. I remember the days when I used to play video games nonstop for hours on end but that isn’t the case anymore. I’m lucky if I get to even finish a game which is rare, or even get a few hours a week if thats even possible. So I need to take care of that to make full use of the shelves, and do a lot of network rewiring behind the shelves.

Another one form the crew of Lonely Island, these guys are seriously hilarious, making the funniest music videos I have seen. This time around they got Seth Rogen into the music video. I really hope they keep making these hilarious music videos which are pretty damn good, honestly they are funny to listen to when your driving, feels like I’m in the movie office space I’m listening to this song in my car.

This is Eminem’s hilariously offensive brand new music video for his new single, “We Made You.” The song, produced by Dr. Dre, is the debut track from Em’s upcoming album, Relapse, due in stores and online May 15th. I’m just laughing throughout the whole video!

I have been looking into a docking solution for the iPod. I do have the Sonos system which can be integrated into the Library and access all the songs, but I do prefer connecting my iPod or any other iPod into a docking solution and completely getting rid of my CD/Tape Stereo which I haven’t switched on in over a year. Anytime I want to listen to a CD, I listen to it in the car, pick the tracks that I like, and rip it to my computer, integrate it some playlist.

After looking around the Logic3 Valve 80 seems to be the most interesting solution. I can integrate it into the current Sonos setup that I have, both machines and one set of speakers. I will completely get rid of my normal stereo sicne its just taking up space and nothing else. Retro and funky come to mind when I look at this machine. A clean design with analog audio which produces some very interesting sound, I’m thinking about it for now and some of the rewiring and clean up that I have to do.

A few songs of my musical list for March, I have been pretty good about updating my music but horrible at organizing my playlists. I need to create a few more playlists and sort the items out but I don’t know where to start with so many damn songs. These are a few good songs from March:

The List:

• Kanye The Dream – Walking On The Moon
• Kid Cudi – Day N Nite
• Dr Dre This Is Detox ft T.I. & KOBE
• Jamie Foxx ft.T-Pain – Blame It
• The All-American Rejects – Gives You Hell
• Gorilla Zoe – Lost
• Slim Thug – I Run
• Flo Rida – Right Round
• Kevin Rudolf & Rick Ross – Welcome to the World
• Soulcatcher – Falling for you (Extended Mix)
• Matt Darey – Beautiful Day (Sunburst Mix)

This MP3 service from Amazon came out quarter 3 of 2007 and I think it has been very successful with the DRM-Free Music. They have improved their selection as well as provided a better way of going though the music and suggested searches.

After all this progress they are now implementing Geo Filtering sales, so songs can only be bought and downloaded through US locations. Meaning you have to be in the US to buy from Mp3 Amazon which is a bad idea in my opinion. This might be from the Music Industry and not from Amazon, but luckily we can still buy and download from iTunes DRM Free music with iTunes Plus.
