Break Out The Meat Dress It’s The VMA’s!
While not quite the GRAMMYs, edgier red-headed step-child, MTV’s VMAs (Video Music Awards) are live this Sunday August 28 from sun-soaked Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre.
Last year, comic and host of “Chelsea Lately” hosted the award show to mixed reviews. Perhaps in light of her less than popular performance, this summer’s VMA’s will have no host. That does not mean the awards won’t pack a punch of super celebrity stardom, show-stopping performances, and plenty of Moonmen.
Onlookers rejoice, there’s never a shortage of VMA crazy moments:
- Remember Gaga’s meat dress?
- When Kayne stole the spotlight from Taylor Swift?
- The triple kiss with Madonna, Britney, and Christina?
- The horrifying lip lock with Michael Jackson and Lisa-Maire Presley?
Whether planned or natural chaos, the VMAs never lack outrageous moments and this year’s line-up of loonies cannot disappoint!
Little Monsters the world over will be squeeling in their seats as Gaga joins the VMAs. If that’s not enough, the roster already includes Beyonce, Adele, Lil Wayne, Pit Bull, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown and Young the Giant. Joining the line-up of performers is the initial slate of presenters, which includes Jonah Hill, Rick Ross, Selena Gomez, Seth Rogen, and Kim Kardashian.
And does it ever get old to ask if Kanye will let everyone finish?
Tune in this Sunday at 9PM and watch the madness unfold.

Lazy and Hate Taking Notes? Snoozerr is for You!
Looking for a way to take notes without having to take notes? Yes, you can record the audio of a lecture and then listen later. Yes, some applications even synchronize the notes you write with the audio of the lecture (Microsoft Office for Mac). The only problem is you either have to sort through hours of audio or type that pesky text. If none of this sounds okay to you, we have the solution: Snoozerr Recordings. The best news yet? It’s only $.99 and works on your iPhone.
By now you probably want to know what it actually does. Well, Snoozerr is perfect for taking audio recordings during your boring class lectures. When something important happens just take a snapshot of the blackboard, whiteboard, projector, or whatever while recording.
Cool, pictures and sounds from a lecture. Anyone can do that, but what makes this perfect for the lazy college student is so much more. Most notably the pictures sync up with the audio so while listening the picture from that time comes up. Or, you can get to that point in the lecture by selecting the picture. All your “notes” are organized however you like. The icing on the cake? You can send them to your friends, yourself, your classmate, or whoever and the images and sound stays linked together. Now that’s what I call smart collaboration.
Grab this app now for your iPhone so you can spend less time sifting through a sea of papers and more time at your favorite DC nightclubs.
Big Sean, Kanye West, Roscoe Dash – Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay (DJ Geometrix Remix)
“Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay” with Big Sean, Kanye West, and Roscoe Dash is one of the hottest songs out right now. It is a song to transcend genres and play on multiple radio stations in DC and nationally. So how does one make a great track even hotter? You have DJ Geometrix remix it. DJ Geometrix creates a remix that still retains the original characteristics of the song but adds energy and depth.
Don’t be surprised if you hear this remix at a dance floor near you. But words only go so far, so take a listen and grab a copy. Whether it’s on the dancefloor at Ultrabar or in the studio working on his newest hit, don’t miss what Geometrix has to offer.
Sirius Satellite 2.0 to Rule Them All?
Everyone loves music, but that’s just about the only thing everyone agrees on. Some people like top 40, some hip-hop, country, rock, and so many more. But most don’t like every song in even their favorite category. In many cases a song has just played too many times and everyone gets sick of it. iPods and new cellphones help this but make it hard to discover new music. Tens of thousands of songs fit in the palm of your hand but only if you know what songs you want.
Pandora is a revolutionary idea that solves this problem. Creating your own stations and voting up or down helps customize an experience just for you and the ability to skip songs allows for better listening overall. However, the Pandora quality is dependent upon internet connectivity and, in many cases, how much data you want to burn through on your cell phone.
Satellite radio made an appearance a few years ago in the form of two competitors Sirius and XM. Since then, the two have merged and create a great combination with many channels to choose from; from country music, to Howard Stern, to Eminem radio, Satellite seems to have it all. The best part is all you need is a line of sight to the sky. This means that anywhere in the US people can experience a variety of music no matter how small the town they’re in. What’s the downside then? None of these stations can currently be customized or listened to on demand. That is all about to change.
SXM 2.0 (SeriousXM 2.0) is the next generation of satellite radio and will be available by the end of the year. SXM 2 is live radio, well mostly. It will include new on-demand options for select shows, similar to the way updated television works. Howard Stern on demand perhaps? Get ready America. But on demand is just the start. DVR-like features may include hours of pause, rewind, and fast-forward functions.
Imagine a physical radio that thinks for you like Pandora. Enter the true heart of SXM 2. How will it work? By voting up and down on songs the radio will learn which songs you do and don’t like and will start creating custom stations for the individual. Tune into these stations and even skip songs you don’t like. Expect the new and improved satellite radio by the end of the year, most likely late fall. New vehicles will most likely begin including the technology for the 2013 model year.
