I found this video on YouTube, with Swedish Superstar Marie Serneholt. I love her :heart: LOL 
This is a funny vid 
hahahahaha love it 
Should I Vlog? Vlog is video blogging, e.g. uploading videos on YouTube. I sort of want to do it, to add something to the blog, but I dont really know yet how I would want to go about it.
The thing about it is you need to keep people watching, have something to say or something to do. It needs to be interesting or funny or something else which is worth watching. I dont wanna upload boring crappy videos, I have watched some things on YouTube e.g. product reviews and they are so boring it makes you want to die!
I did have an idea of recording my nights out in Newcastle and making some videos, which I may do, but I would need quite a lot of footage to make it look good.
What do you think I should vlog about if anything? Fashion, style and my clothes? Lifestyle/going out etc. Or something geeky like SEO, how to make a good blog etc. or geek things?
Heeey Blog!
Have you heard this song? It is good! Check it out 
The vid is really good aswell, girls and cars, you need nothing more 
Beamer, Benz or Bentley, My jeans are never empty
btw: If swearing, Hip Hop, half naked girls or expensive cars offend you, then dont watch!
Yeah, the UK is playing catchup with Europe and myself for music. I have heard these songs for a few weeks now, but only on UK radio for the first time this week…They will be out soon
First is BoB featuring Bruno Mars – “Nothin’ on you” which i LOVE!!! Over 6 million hits on YouTube cant be wrong Its a Pop/RnB upbeat kind of song, think Jason Derulo.
2nd up is a club track, it is Edward Maya Feat Alicia – “Stereo Love”. This was in the european clubs in 2009 and finally making its way over here after over 30 million YouTube views Its a good track, maybe i need to hear it a few more times before i love it (Just like Alors On Danse – Stromae!! )
What do you think of these?
File sharing, “illegal downloading” and such things are hot topics these days. If someone owns the copyright to something, you arent allowed to share it online, which means you cannot upload or download without permission. The music/media industries want you to believe they are losing money, but i disagree, and will tell you why….
First i want to explain what i am calling “responsible downloading“. This would be the downloading of music in a responsible way, not for profit, for personal use. not downloading 1000 albums a week to sell at your car boot sale. You are free to download what you like, providing you pay for some music which you download (i.e. go out and buy something you downloaded).
OK, the music industry will say, for example, if 1000 albums are downloaded then 1000 sales are lost…This is WRONG! If 1000 albums are downloaded, how many of those would of been bought? I would imagine less than half. OK, so 500 sales are now lost. BUT, out of the 500, how many of those people would download the albums, decided they like them, and then go out and pay for them? There are plenty of people who would, including myself.
The music industry do not want to admit that downloading (legal or otherwise) is a GOOD thing. What happens if someone downloads an album of a band they are unsure of, they may go on and buy that album, or their next album, or go to one of their gigs (which is where they are making most of their money).
The latest Lady GaGa video was put on YouTube by her record company, within a few hours it got over 300,000 views, and the day later it had a few million!!! The single went on to be number 1. This is not a coincidence. Without YouTube you would not be able to reach that many people that quickly!
The real reason why the record companies do not like this is simple, they have no control, and are thinking they are losing money. They know they cannot possibly stop EVERYONE downloading illegally, and its such a long and costly process for them to even take a person to court that they cannot do it on a mass scale. They try to guilt people into illegal downloading, its the only weapon they have.
The Music Industry need to learn they cannot control the Internet. They cannot say “oh you can download this because we want you to” one day, then the next “oh you cant download that, its illegal”.
There is now more music out there, more choice, and more to listen to. This is a great thing for the industry. This is purely down to the internet, music sharing and downloading. The idiot from Scouting For Girls got interviewed about this argument, and what a douche he is. He thinks its a bad thing, why? “there is too much choice“. What a fucking moron!! He thinks “his friends band” cant get signed because of this. Well, they cant get signed for 1 of 2 reasons: 1) They are shit, or 2) they are unlucky, and also stupid. The Internet is the biggest platform to launch yourself! Good bands have not got signed for years, way before the Internet. Now you have the opportunity to get yourself a worldwide following, to put yourself on the map, and the dumbass from Scouting For Girls thinks thats a bad thing!?
Now, you SHOULD SUPPORT the music you like. You SHOULD buy their albums if you like them. What i hate is people who claim to like music but never pay for any. I do believe this is wrong. Its the same for movies, software, whatever. They are not real music fans. Support the Aritst/developer if you are a fan.
The copyright laws need to be changed, and updated. It is illegal to change the format of something, so that means if you download a MP3 from iTunes (legally) you cannot put it on a CD without breaking the law, and vice-versa; You cannot buy a CD and make it an MP3 for your computer. Its counter-productive!!! If i buy a sweatshirt i’m not told, its illegal if i cut the sleeves off or dye it a different colour! I paid for the thing!! They could not stop people taping off the radio, they cannot stop this. Its the Internet, its only getting bigger!!!
What are your thoughts on this?
Tried to get onto YouTube before and for the first time i have ever seen, it is properly down.
Its not just down for a minute, its been down a good while, maybe 10 minutes (for a big site thats eternity) so far, people on Twitter are talking about it.
Wonder whats going on…..
Update 1: Its not just from their site, all videos hosted there seem to be down too, which is expected i suppose.
Update 2: Still down, over an hour later….
Update 3: It come back after around 2 hours
Hey everyone! How are you today?
Yesterday i tried to upload a video to YouTube, i never do this usually, i only use YouTube to watch videos. I am aware that WMG aka Warner, are the WORST people for having clips removed which contain music, but until yesterday i didnt realise the extent of the problem.
It seems that YouTube have an algorithm which can go through the start of a video/music and detect if it is in the Warner database, and immediately removes the sound from the video. The video remains, with no sound, and you have the option to choose some free music, leave it as it is or upload a new video.
Now, my video was just a funny, valentines video. It has 4 or 5 clips of songs, which lasted around 25 seconds each. It was hardly distributing their music for profit. The purpose for the video was for 1 day, for fun.
Companies like WMG are killing the music industry. They will have you believe that its the pirates which are doing this, when in fact it is their own ignorance towards new technology, media and how we are all now interacting. I completely agree that people who go to car boot sales and sell copies of music/DVD is wrong, very wrong. It does harm the people making the music/film, and should be stopped.
HOWEVER, using music in a funny YouTube video is completely different. Now, people will say “its still copyright infringement” blah blah blah. But these copyright laws were written a long time ago, for a different era. There is no way to really enforce them, you cannot stop every person in the world uploading a vid to YouTube which contains copyright material. I have seen so many clips taken down, for example clips of people using Singstar. If you dont know, Singstar is a karaoke game and you can record yourself singing songs.
The music industry, in particular WMG needs to wake up! Its not the 80s anymore, we arent recording off the radio (which people did and you could never stop them). If someone is using a clip of music in a video it is promoting their music, but more importantly it is not being used for profit. There needs to be a “fair use” style of copyright law brought into force, if you are using music under certain circumstances it should be allowed.
I am going to keep an eye on the WMG situation and see what happens
This was ad was shown at half time today during the F.A. Cup. It is such a quality ad, i love a football sing song
I hate flying, but this is funny! It would make me smile when flying, we need this on Thomson and Thomas Cook flights lol
The Followup to one of the best songs of 2009 “Whatcha Say” is In My Head. Jason Derulo has talent, i like this song. Only heard it once or twice so far, so its a bit of a grower, i like Whatcha Say better. There is no video for this song yet, but it is supposed to be his next release, and an album will also follow.
