You can now download the official version of Firefox 3 by going here ...
Mozilla was having some trouble earlier today, but now it seems like everything is running smoothly.
Google has updated its toolbar for Firefox 3. I love the Google Toolbar because you can add little buttons to it that will take you to sites like Wikipedia, Amazon, Gmail, and IMDB.com ...
Download the latest version of Google Toolbar (it will update itself when you restart Firefox 3 or maybe before then)
Here is some music I listened to today ...
Another song from the Amores Perros soundtrack, this song is called "De Perros Amores" by Control Machete ...
I read about an artist/band called Ladyhawke on the music blog, Arjan Writes, today. Ladyhawke's song, "Paris Is Burning", is pretty catchy and it slightly reminds me of Gary Numan's song, "Cars".
Here is a remix of the song, and it is labeled "Peaches Remix", but I don't know how accurate that is ...
Here is the video for Ladyhawke's "Paris is Burning" ...
I love how she wears a Snoopy shirt in the video!
"Ladyhawke" is also the name of a movie from 1985 with Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Rutger Hauer. I have never seen it all the way through. I think there is a Canadian rock band called "Ladyhawk", but don't get them confused with the above singer!
Here is the trailer for the movie, "Ladyhawke" ...
Here is "Cars" by Gary Numan ...
Here is the video for Gary Numan's "Cars" ...
There is a remix of M.I.A.'s "XR2" by Blaqstarr that I was able to download from the M.I.A. Fans message board. The picture that I put with the song is from a party at the Museum of Modern Art in New York called the "Party in the Garden", I think. There is a better picture of M.I.A. at the same party at People's website. I got the picture for the song from Bonafide-Hustler.com.
Here is the photo from People's website that I like, but I wish it was really large ...
You can download the song here if you like.
Mozilla wants 1 million downloads or more on June 17th when the official version of Firefox 3 will be released. I have been using the "release candidate" of Firefox 3 (I don't know what "release candidate" means, but I think that is the right phrase ... kind of like "beta" or "testing version"), and I really love it. It is definitely the fastest browser I have ever used. I hate, hate, hate Internet Explorer, but I have always loved the Firefox browsers. I try to tell all of my friends, co-workers, relatives, and even members at my credit union to use Firefox because it is safer (especially when combined with Google Toolbar), and it is faster and more customizable (I don't think that's a word).
Here is a video about the release of Mozilla's Firefox 3 on Tuesday, June 17th ...
In case you don't know where to go to download Firefox, the website is right here!
You can also download the latest "release candidate" of Firefox 3 before the real, official version comes out on Tuesday.
There are two videos on the internet that show Alicia, the daughter on the 1/2/08 episode of ABC's reality show, "Wife Swap". Alicia is portrayed as a spoiled princess who doesn't have to do chores or homework. Her mother does her homework for her. She also complains to her mom about breakfast cereal being bad, and she is rude to the wait staff at restaurants.
Here is the YouTube video ...
Here is a video from The Huffington Post website (it will be the first video that comes up) ...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/04/this-weeks-must-see-vide_n_79615.html
The video is pretty outrageous and hard to believe, but I think it is true for the most part. However, they left out some important parts of the show. Alicia's mother switches with a very feminist mother who homeschools her children. The feminist mother actually gets along with Alicia in the end, and Alicia learns how to cook and she does her own homework. Therefore, it may be Alicia's parents who have the problem, not Alicia. Also, the feminist mother is not perfect. She kind of shelters her children from the real world by keeping them at home all the time. She does give in a little at the end, though, and lets her young daughter dress up like a beauty queen. The top two videos are still pretty funny, no matter how much they leave out. You can download the entire episode if you want. Just search for "wife swap torrent", and make sure you have a program on your computer like bittorrent. When the search results come up, look for the "season 4, episode 1 wife swap" or some kind of result like that. You can find a torrent of just about anything if you search enough.
(edit ... here is a link to the website for the album)
I think Radiohead is brave and awesome for selling their new album, "In Rainbows", directly to their fans all by themselves. I signed up to receive the album about a week or more ago. The site asked me how much I wanted to pay for it, and I think I paid about $10 just to be supportive because I love the idea of an artist ignoring the big record companies who allow the RIAA to sue people who download music (read about that atrocity here).
I think the decision to fine that woman in Minnesota hundreds of thousands of dollars is insane. Let the fine be something like $1000. That would be more sensible. I guess they made the fine so large to deter other people from downloading music without paying for it. However, bands like Radiohead (and there are many other bands who have let their fans download their albums for free) are saying you can exist without charging for your music, or you can at least sell DRM-free music to fans at a low, low price.
Bands like Radiohead know that they are going to make most of their money touring. Tori Amos and M.I.A. know that, too. There is a good article about this in TIME magazine. You can read it here ...

Well, really those two things have nothing in common, except for the fact that they are both released in America on August 21, 2007! Woohoo! Actually, I don't have an XBOX 360 so I don't think I will be able to play BioShock(a game that is supposedly based on an Ayn Rand Utopia gone horribly wrong) when it is released.
However, a trailer for BioShock was one of the first videos I uploaded to YouTube. It wasn't my video. I think I got it off of a site like IGN. I had to divide it up and upload it as two videos because it was so long. It's gotten several views so maybe by talking about BioShock here, I will be able to get some exposure for M.I.A.'s new album, Kala.
Here are the BioShock videos ...
You can download it here.
Here are some M.I.A. remixes I just found recently on Missing Toof ...
M.I.A. - URAQT (Luvtek Remix) ...
M.I.A. - Boyz (Kimono Kops Mix)
M.I.A. - Bucky Done Gun (Risk One B'Fix)
When I am not listening to M.I.A., I listen to a whole lot of Tori Amos(my obsession way before M.I.A.). Here is "Space Dog" from the album, Under The Pink ...
Here is the complete video for Jimmy that I uploaded to YouTube ...
However, someone else beat me to it so here is their YouTube video(which came from the same Quicktime movie source) ...
Here is the Quicktime movie (Download it), which was the source file for the two videos above ...
And here are the three bonus tracks of Kala that are available on the Japanese version of the album ...
Big Branch, Far Far, and What I Got ...
You can download these songs here ...
M.I.A. - Big Branch
M.I.A. - Far Far
M.I.A. - What I Got
More to come! ;)
Well, I posted about M.I.A.'s song, "20 Dollar"(or $20 or 20$ or Twenty Dollar or Twenty Dollars or 20 Dollars ... whatever the proper title is), and then I found a link to download it. I am really loving the full, studio version of the song. It has a really cool, rich sound that fills your car and vibrates your seats when you play it as you drive. The quality is not CD-quality, though, so I can't wait to buy the album so that I will have that perfect sound that can only come from a CD or a high-quality mp3 with a good set of headphones.
There are a lot of leaks of M.I.A.'s album, Kala, going on, but I don't really care if I get it early or not. I still like to buy the actual CDs of artists that I really like, and August 21st is not that far away.
M.I.A. - 20 Dollar (you can click on the link to the left to download it)
Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground ...
Marilyn Manson - Coma Black: A. Eden Eye B. The Apple of Discord ...
Little Britain - Bubbles Devere vs. Desiree
This is very old, but I think it is one of the funniest shows ever.
Here is the acapella and instrumental versions of M.I.A.'s "Boyz" single for anyone out there who would like to make some remixes out of them. Please share them at http://miafans.co.uk when you are done!
M.I.A. - Boyz (acapella) ... Download
M.I.A. - Boyz (instrumental) ... Download
Andytron is kind of an amateur DJ, I guess, but he sent me a link to this great mix over a year ago. I still listen to it when I get ready in the morning. It has one of my favorite artists, M.I.A., on it, but it has also has lots of cool songs blended together perfectly. I want to know how to do that! =)
Anyway, you can listen to the songs on here or you can download them. Enjoy!
