Hot Topic has been know for the great selection of Band T-shirts, want many don’t realize is that Hot Topic offers a ton of other items. Body Jewelry, Cosmetics, Fragrances, Hats, Shoelaces, Sunglasses just to name a few. The extensive selection of Licensed T-shirts and various accessories include Barbie licensed merchandise, Disney, Hello Kitty, Invader Zim, Playboy Exposed, Pokemon and much more.
I like Hot Topic because you will find different band t-shirts not found at the local t-shirt stores. Their line of South Park T-shirts are awesome, I am a rocker and am very satisfied with the selection of Band T-shirts available on the Hot Topic site, but as a dad with three daughters I’d like to see them expand their section a bit to include some the younger kiddie bands, I’m sure they could sell a ton to Jonas Brothers T-shirts, at least three to me anyway.
I’ve always wanted to play guitar, but never made it a priority in my life. Seems like I’ve always came up with excuse after excuse not to learn to play guitar. I guess the first step would be to actually buy a guitar online someday – but again with the excuses.
I thought I would do some research to see what was the best selling guitar course had to offer, while I contemplated what type of guitar to buy.
The buzz is all about Ben Edwards’ course Jamorama. The course claims to be packed with easy-to-follow instructions and the most inclusive and straightforward system available to date.
Ben provides some exclusive Jam Tracks to learn and practice with, these are not the ordinary boring drills other learn to play guitar courses offer. Some of the best professional musicians collaborated on these recordings – although no names where mentioned one wonders just who these “Best Professionals” really were? Eddie – nah, no way!
Big bold letters claim that JAMORAMA WILL WORK FOR YOU (ME) and get you playing like a professional in no time. The sales page is full of testimonials as with most products sold online.
What seems to peak my interest is the 148 stet-by-step video lessons with 26 tracks to jam along with. Nothing is worst than reading to learn something like playing guitar or listening to audio tracks – the Video Lessons are a hugh selling point for me.
All the usually claims, Jamorama makes learning FUN! I hate these types of sales lines, but they work and help push a potential shopper into a buyer every time.
Ben offers a FREE 6 part Guitar eCourse valued at $37 – which includes both Audio and Video content, free music learning software and what seems to be a ton more.
I’ll be checking it out for sure.
Hope I finally (wow Hope!) I will learn to play guitar this year, and I think Jamorama will be the course I try first.
I just finished watching Wednesday, January 23rds American Idol show, no one really stood out winning the bad American Idol audition of the night. Come to think of it no one really stood out even on the flip side. I still fall back to last weeks show stopping performance by Ronaldo Lapuz, belting out his love song for Simon “I am Your Brother”.
I searched for the I am your brother lyrics but couldn’t find anything so after waiting the video several times here are the lyrics for I am your brother:
I am your brother
Your best friend forever
Singing the songs
The music that you love
Brothers til the end of time
Together or not
You’re always in my heart
You hurt your feelings
And you will rain on mine
I love you brother
It’s hard to tell if Ronaldo had more lyrics written or this was pretty much it. I am sure we will be seeing much more of good old Ronaldo.
Here is the Ronaldo Lapuz American Idol Audition Video for your enjoyment.
Fox announced the new season of American Idol will kick off with a two-night four-hour premier on January 15, 2008.
The seventh season will include highlights of some of the auditions that were held in some of the major cities across the country, including Dallas Atlanta, Miami and Philly. After the premier the regular season will broadcast two times every week, on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s until February 6. Then the Hollywood round will air on February 12th and 13th and that is when the top 24 American Idol contestants will be named.
The very first episode where the contestants will perform, first featuring the 12 men that have made the final cut will run February 19. The 12 ladies will sing their hearts out on the next night February 20, the following night is a live show that will announce the results of the first vote. The top 12 contestants are scheduled to perform on Tuesday, March 11.
This is is surely going to be an exciting one, as more and more people are tuning in to watch one of the most popular TV shows around – American Idol will still be a top rated show for years to come.
With Christmas behind us I thought I’d look at the 30 most popular Christmas songs this year. I was amazed to see only 3 songs from the 2000’s. The traditional classic Christmas songs from the mid to early 1900’s are still the most popular. A few from the 1800’s and just one from the 1700’s (The 12 Days of Christmas).
I understand Jingle Bells (1857), Winter Wonderland (1934) making the top ten without question, but how does All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth) (1944) make it to number 19? Although Santa Clause is Coming to Town (1934) is number 14 is the traditional version, not the classic Bruce Springsteen version (1985) that is my favorite.
I guess am glad that the classic Christmas songs are still so popular, these are the songs I grew up singing and I am glad they are the songs my kids are growing up on. While I do not mind seeing a few songs from the 2000’s that are covers of the classics, like Carrie Underwood’s version of Last Christmas, which is pushing Wham’s version down and hopefully out of the most popular Christmas songs – thank goodness.
