How Daft Punk Ripped-off Eddie Johns

I don't listen to Daft Punk. I do have to admit that their song "One More Time" is a little catchy. It kinda stays with you.. blah blah blah.

I also don't listen to Eddie Johns. I had actually never even heard of him, nor this song, until I ran across the story of this blatant plagiarism somewhere on the Internets.

I'm not gonna post the individual songs here, but I will link to them. After reading this post, you can not tell me that Daft Punk didn't totally rip these guys off. They attempted to "sample" Johns's "More Spell On You", and ended up with a total and complete plagiarism.

Here is More Spell On You, by Eddie Johns. Take a few seconds to listen to some of it, as well as the next one too: Here is One More Time, by Daft Punk.

How they did it:

Yeah, We Need Some New Ones Already


Via

How dumb it is that we still hear the same Christmas songs every single year? Not only that, none of the one's that are famous are anywhere near new. I wonder why this is? What did they hear in the 1930's, and before?

The Interactive Map of Metal



Simply a great interactive world with hundreds of tunes - all separated into sub-genres such as Progressive Metal, Speed Metal, Punk Rock, Hard Rock, and many many more. Laid out as a map, and ranging from 60s, 70s, 80,s 90s, to the 00s, the Interactive Map of Metal allows you to look around the "world" of the genre as it has come to be.

Hard Rock: The Best Songs of 2009


OK here we go.. I've been preparing this post for a while now. Everyone who knows me knows I am a lover of unique, complex, hard-rocking music.. in that order. This year I will say right off the bat was somewhat of an "average" year. There were no studio releases for two of my favorites, Staind & Godsmack, and the new stuff on the radio just wasn't there. There were however a couple bands who were new to me in the last year and a half or so, and I'll be looking forward to hearing much more from them. And a band that most of us thought were dead has experienced a serious resurrection.

When trying to get this list together, of course I did a little research, just to be sure there wasn't a song or two out there that I had heard but forgotten to include. In doing so I came across all types of different music lists. Most people don't understand how to classify music, if to do so at all. A few mainstream places I visited had the same songs on both their list of top rock songs, and top alternative songs. Others don't understand that you can't classify one of a band's songs as metal, but yet another as rock.. unless of course you have to, but I wouldn't. If that's the case, then they, like most great bands, DON'T NEED classification. This is the same argument I have always provided in defense of one of my all-time favorite bands, Rush. They are their own classification of music, or their own sub-genre of rock music.

Of course, I'll never include a country song or a rap song in with my list. Since we're talking sub-genres of ROCK, you just don't do that - the three worlds are too far apart. But at the same time, if you don't think that some of this is "rock", then that's ok. Most of this would be just fine on any hard-rock or progressive rock list.

Here's my top-15 for 2009:

15. Sound of Madness – Shinedown


14. I Will Not Bow – Breaking Benjamin


13. Whiskey Hangover – Godsmack


12. The Night – Disturbed


11. Scream With Me – Mudvayne


10. Wither – Dream Theater


9. Jars – Chevelle


8. Check My Brain – Alice in Chains



7. Two Weeks – All That Remains


6. Overcome – Creed


5. Crawl – Breaking Benjamin


4. A Looking in View – Alice in Chains


3. Hard to See – Five Finger Death Punch


2. The Best of Times – Dream Theater


1. The Count of Tuscany – Dream Theater


Honorable mention:
The Shattered Fortress – Dream Theater
Acid Bubble – Alice in Chains
Walk Away – Five Finger Death Punch
Careless Whisper - Seether
Believe In Nothing – All That Remains

The Top-10 Adam Sandler Movies



The top 10 best Adam Sandler movies. Comedian. Actor. Musician. Singer. Writer. Producer. Swell guy (probably). The sum of all these parts makes Adam Sander who he is today; a much loved and much viewed working entertainer. He makes us laugh. He makes it look easy. There are few comedic actors who have been at the top of the box office for as long as The Sandman, so let’s appreciate this multi-talented dude.

My list would be ordered quite differently, but being a huge AS fan, this is still a great list. And you should go check it out. . .
