do-nothing day / Pogo music
Bleah. Spent a long time on work yesterday, didn't get to bed until about 4:30 am today. Stayed in bed until noon, got about 7 hours of sleep, but I've still had a do-nothing day.
Look, instead of feeling down about myself and writing about that, since I only have a short time left to post today, let me tell you about something cool I learned about yesterday. If you're reading this on Facebook then you've probably seen the links I was posting yesterday, so apologies for the repeat. Another friend of mine posted a link to a video for a song called "Alice", which was created by sampling and remixing sounds, vocals, and music from Disney's Alice in Wonderland. It's very catchy; even though there aren't really lyrics as such, I've had the lyrical melody running through my head all day. It's also extremely well done and I highly recommend giving it a listen. The artist works under the name Pogo, and it turns out that he has a large selection of songs he's created the same way, using Disney films, other classic films such as The King and I or Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and even more recent works such as Harry Potter or the TV series Dexter. He currently has 17 videos available on his YouTube channel, and also has a larger selection of his music available for free download on his website, www.pogomix.net, as well as yet more on Last.fm. I've already downloaded everything that's available, and will be checking back regularly for more updates.
