Sorry I didn’t get to this post until now, but midterms have been killer. ^^; I went to Halko Momoi’s Osaka concert on her “No Answer, No Live!” concert tour last Saturday. It was quite fun, though tiring, as it was standing room only at the venue, so I was on my feet for several hours.

So I got an interesting email in my inbox from ニコニコ動画 (Nico Nico Douga) yesterday Thursday (it was yesterday when I started writing this post), and finally had time to sit down and read through it today. (I’m sure that alot of you got this email too, if you have an account there.) They had two big announcements, the first of which is some kind of enhancement related to watching live broadcasts on DoCoMo phones for premium members. The second however, was announcement of a live broadcast of a Gackt concert through NND.

Well, like I said in the last post, I knew I’d forget some things in that one. So lets see what else I remembered I needed to add…..
Tonight I attended Weird Al Yankovic’s concert here. Part of his “Straight Outta Lynwood” tour. What can I say? It was FREAKIN’ AWESOME! ^_^ V
Of course, being a tour for his new album, you’d expect his new songs, but we still got plenty of classics, too. I don’t remember the exact order of stuff, but let’s see. I do remember hearing a bunch of stuff from Running with Scissors, including “It’s All About the Pentiums”, and “The Saga Begins”. Of course, there were the classics, songs such as, “Eat It”, “Fat”, and “Amish Paradise”. There was a medley where they did a verse or so of each song, and did a bunch of his old songs. Interspersed in that medly, was a new verse for “Headline News” that talked about this girl who was arrested for drunk driving, and then when she got out, she was interviewed on Larry King, and I think the last part of it was something like “why should we care about her?” or something like that.
Just yesterday, Steve Jobs posted an article to Apple’s website entitled “Thoughts on Music” which addresses DRM and why it is currently necessary for the iTunes music store. That being that the big four music companies insisted on it being used and effective (meaning that Apple must patch any holes that show up in it), or they will pull their music libraries from the iTunes store. He also addresses the issue of it being kept proprietary, and why that is a necessity. My intent is to briefly explain some of the arguments presented in that article and give my own commentary on such. (more…)
