Major Lazer - “Halo (feat. Elephant Man)”
No one from Tuneage got invited to the GRAMMYs (although our friends at Tumblr did), but we watched with great interest as Beyoncé and her breasts accepted the best female pop vocal performance award for “Halo.”
We listened with even greater interest when Diplo tweeted from the after-party about Major Lazer’s version, featuring Elephant Man. In his own words, “SoOO MUCH BETTER!” Expect this one to be everywhere by midday.
And if you liked that, you’ll love Major Lazer’s June 2009 album, Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do.
Just for reference, I like the original version too.
Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19th-century Bavarian palace on a rugged hill near Hohenschwangau and Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner, the King’s inspiring muse.The conception of the palace was outlined by Ludwig II in a letter to Richard Wagner, dated May 13, 1868:
It is my intention to rebuild the old castle ruin at Hohenschwangau near the Pollat Gorge in the authentic style of the old German knights’ castles… the location is the most beautiful one could find, holy and unapproachable, a worthy temple for the divine friend who has brought salvation and true blessing to the world.I can’t believe how beautiful this castle is. Public photography of the interior is not permitted, but the Internet is your friend.
Hey
I just realized that my posting frequency is way down, and I haven’t created any original content for a while. So please enjoy this waste of space.
Kindle 2 vs Nook
Remember this post? Where I outed myself as a lover of books? A person who loves the weight and the smell and the turning of pages? Welp, now I’m considering breaking down and turning in my chips for an e-reader. Does anyone own a Kindle or a Nook and have any words of wisdom? Is one better than the other? I’m leaning towards the Kindle. Kind of wish I knew when the Kindle 3 was being released, though. I always seem to be the person who waits and waits to buy a fun new gadget only to have them release a new one as soon as I swipe my credit card.
Wait one more day and Apple will revolutionize the field… {anticipation}
