Exams are over and look, the internet's here with some music!

Phew, after a few weeks of burning the candle at both ends I am pleased to announce that me fucking exams are finally over, and what bitches they were! And so with the first year of Uni gone I decided now would be a good enough time to post on the blog once again!




Well, as Chris has planned to do, I hope to post on a regular basis starting with a new feature here at Ccjad. Every so often I hope to upload a song at the end of my post that I have been listening to recently or have enjoyed quite a bit and would like to share with all you readers out there. Keep checking back as you may find a song you like or never heard before.

Recently, it's been kinda hectic with not much time to spare between study and work. However whilst browsing my on the interwebs I rediscovered some good video's I think many will appreciate.

First off is the Internet Party


Then there's Internet Party 2: An Intervention for Myspace.


Admittedly both are very well written with the 4chan jokes especially tickling my funny bone. If you liked these videos you can check out some more of the creators stuff : "Those Aren't Muskets" at, funnily enough, www.thosearentmuskets.com.

For the debut week of Calum's songs (we'll make up a name for it later), I selected a song from the album "Music for an Accelerated Culture" by the band Hadouken called "Declaration of war. For some reason or another (awesome band name?), this song has been stuck in my head for the whole week and with the catchy tune going on, I hope it gets stuck in yours too. It's not really our style at Ccjad, but the retro-chique sound caught me by surprise with the synth feel really mixing things all together very well. To check it out, just press the play button at the end of the post and make sure you have the newest version of Flash as it always helps.

Well with Chris' reviews, Ally's quirky updates and my music uploads, hopefully Ccjad will be able to spread it wings a little more and get it's feet off the ground.

Catch y'all later
-Calum.




P.S. If you did like the song guys and dolls, check out their album at a store near you or their Website.

Computer Music - The unconvensional way to jam

Indeed, today I came across some odd tunes leading one onto the next making small songs out of the unexpected.
After being woke up at a ridiculous hour by the wind whizzing by outside my window here at Stirling Uni (good old Scottish weather), I decided I wasn't going to get any sleep any time soon. And as I didn't want to wake anyone up at this hour for any favours, so I did the next best thing; Stumbled!

Yes, fuelling the insomnia at the source I decided to truck onto the internet to see what bizarre things I could uncover next and although by far not the most bedazzling thing yet found, I did discover some rather odd yet enjoyable videos by people creating music out of Windows' sounds from Windows 98 through to vista.

Oddly enough in my opinion, each song was rather good and each became more catchy than the last but I'll let you decide which is your favourite in this unorthodox post.

Windows 98



Windows 98 and XP



Windows XP and Vista



My favourite one was probably the XP and Vista one.

Peace out for now folks.
-Calum.

P.S. Rather random find here but god damn, those tunes can be catchy. =P
P.P.S. Also noticed the video's are getting slightly cut off so hopefully one of us will sort that problem out in the near future. Right now, I'm too tired.

Update tiemz!

Yer, tis that time again! :D

Nothing new to report, so onto the funnies.




Ok, now time for the cool things!

Ps. Delicious raep.

Music while you read.

Yay! After some arduous times, myself and Ally managed to get a music player up and running so while you read you're favourite blog you can listen to some of our music!
Mind you I need to fix some tweaks here and there but for now there's two songs available (although five names come up...what the fudge?). So press the skip button to the next song...cause Asterisk doesn't work yet.;_;
So enjoy while it lasts and don't feel scared to ask for any of the music you hear on the blog, we're 'hear' all week. Try the beef!

Here's a cheery wee pic that kept me going during the whole process.

Peace, Calum

Ps It shouldn't have been this hard...Watch Bleach

*Edit* Why does nothing work? The music player should be working soon. Sorry for all those who are desperate to have something to listen too ¬_¬...*chuckle*...*End Edit*
