People appreciate music in different ways. Some, like me, just love appreciating music since I never really learned to play any instrument. Others enjoy music by mixing it, like DJs. Some people would rather compose music and write lyrics for other singers to sing. Others are so talented they not only write music but perform it too.

When people tell me that they wish they could draw, it reminds me that I have always wished I could sing. It is very hard for me to carry a tune. I found a video that made me smile, it is truly awesome. I think it was done so artistically that even if you can’t sing like me, but you can carry a tune, you’ll be just fine.

BeatBoxing is an art form. It is creating music or a beat using your own vocal chords, creating tunes without any instrument except your voice. BeatBoxing- is a form of vocal percussion which primarily involves the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one’s mouth, lips, tongue and voice. It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntablism, the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments. Beatboxing is connected with hip hop culture, although it is not limited to hip hop music.

How To | Break Up a Rock Band

In: web resources

27 Nov 2009

Do you Play Rock Band? Rock Band allows up to four players to simulate the performance of popular rock music songs by playing with controllers modeled after musical instruments. Players can play the lead guitar, bass guitar, and drums parts to songs with “instrument controllers”, as well as sing through a USB microphone. Players are scored on their ability to match scrolling musical “notes” while playing instruments, or by their ability to match the singer’s pitch on vocals.

Here is a group that went through Trial Under fire. They have been together playing popular Beatles songs and have been breaking and consistently being the top scorers. The group almost broke up, how could that be?

Here are sure ways to break up the Rock Band:

1. Fall in love – Concentration is the first one to go. How can you say no to her wanting to come to practice, specially when you finally found the one that understands and is into what you are interested in. The rule no girlfriends during rock band time, will definitely be broken.

2. Bring her to Band Practice – Eventually she will take over the band, change their outfits, make them try out the “better” way of playing the video game. Drive everyone nuts.

3. Start a non violent protest – She may inspire you to go on a non violent protest. This will in turn make you miss practice sessions

4. Make her channel your energies into other “creative” outlets – This will definitely create a huge fight among the band members, most specially if the creativity involves you playing Rock band in “unorthodox” means. No electricity, no controllers and no band equipment.

Funny how a little thing called “love” can break up a rock band. As the saying goes, drinking and driving don’t mix, Love and gaming doesn’t either. What’s you take on this?

9 Hilarious Websites To Visit When You Need To Kill Time

In: tutorial

24 Nov 2009

hilarious websites We all have our bad days. A laptop that gets stolen, keys that disappear into the drain and those mothers-in-law.

When you’re having one of those days, we all need to be cheered up.

Actually, even without having one of those days, most people can use a good laugh. And because none of your friends know any good jokes to tell, MakeUseOf comes to the rescue.

Below is a compilation of hilarious websites you can visit for a good dose of humour. Of course, this list is not complete, by far. If you think we missed something, add it in the comments!

Comedy Videos

Need a laugh now? First stop; online video. The net is filled to bursting with videos that make you giggle. Dry British humour or slapstick entertainment, it’s your call. On most hilarious websites like these though, it’s often the latter.

Today’s Big Thing isn’t ‘only’ a humor site. It was created to aggregate the coolest videos on the net, every single day. Although more subjects are covered, a laugh is often included. Want to play safe? Go to the funny videos channel.

hilarious websites

CollegeHumor is one of the most hilarious websites on the web. You’ll find very funny pictures and essays, but mostly videos. Most videos are aggregated from all over the internet, but you should also check out the CollegeHumor Originals – these are made by the CollegeHumor staff and are more often than not of supreme quality.

Break is an online video sharing community. Unlike YouTube though, it only focuses on funny videos. With no other filters than the community machine, quality is not always guaranteed, but the funniest videos of the web get born on sites like these.

Funny Webcomics

Next stop, webcomics. For more inspiration, be sure to check out 5 Great Webcomics You Should Read and 10 Great Online Gaming Webcomics.

dilbert Dilbert is (the second is XKCD) one of the best geeky webcomics. That is, the main character is a bit of a geek, but it’s accessible for everyone with a taste for dry humor.

A MakeUseOf favorite, Dilbert is about personal geeky problems and the day-to-day hilarity of a highly dysfunctional business.

Explosm’s humor is a tad less delicate. It mostly involves almost brutal sadistic jokes and disgusting punchlines. If you enjoy the weird and indelicate funnies, this one is for you. Not always safe for work, though.

Since Explosm has multiple authors, the quality and ‘funniness’ is not always consistent, though. You might have to skip a few to get to the good ones.

Wulffmorgenthaler is a hilarious, often one-drawing comic. And its humor is often even drier than Dilbert’s. Not always safe for work either, as you might see a naked Easter bunny once in a while, but rarely anything ‘disgusting’.

Parodist News Channels

It’s important to watch real news. But also boring. Give your news a twist with these fake news channels. Beware – a touch of cynicism is advised.

hilarious video clips

The Onion News Network (ONN) is one of the most popular fake online news channels there are. With everything performed and produced with incredible realism, it’s not uncommon to realize the ‘fake’ only halfway through the video. Of course, the subjects are often so excessive, they just can’t be missed.

Don’t watch without a sense of humor and perspective – the ONN is not afraid to touch sensible subjects.

hilarious video clips

The Daily Show should be known to all. It’s a satirical news show on Comedy Central, hosted by the magnificent Jon Stewart. Most ironically, he was chosen as America’s ‘most trusted newscaster’ earlier this year in an online poll by Time Magazine. Which might be justified if you can read behind the sarcasm, but would otherwise be just very sad.

You can watch a few funny excerpts, and even entire episodes if you live in the US internationally!

4chan

This is one excessively funny website, belonging in all, yet none of the categories above. With their background, a separate mention is nothing but righteous.

You might know them as the guys behind Lolcats and the Rickrolling meme. Most people know them as the biggest retards on the internet. And that’s not an insult, it’s their legacy, carried high. 4chan is a free-to-join anonymous forum with boards for – well, almost everything. Although serious discussions occur, most is filled with pictures and craziness (refer to the above screenshot). Not too right in the head and willing to browse the endless forums? Hilarity ensured!

If you’ve got any other tips, be sure to mention them in the comments below. What are your favorite funny websites?
