R.I.P. Speakers

January 4th, 2009, 4:41 pm

Well today kinda sucks, I found out my speaker system is dead! The subwoofer decided to take a crap on me. For whatever reason the left audio RCA port stopped working. The audio was barely audible out of the left speaker. However the same speaker works fine when plugged into the right RCA port.

Sadly my computer doesn’t provide enough power to the two satellite speakers so I can only use my mp3 player to listen to music. I guess it is better than nothing though.

I don’t exactly have the money to buy a new pair of speakers right now.

I’m looking at either:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836113008 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836113168 right now.
I am hoping the become a bit cheaper though, maybe I can find them on sale.

For the time being I’ll be speakerless, as I don’t even have a pair of cheap speakers laying around.

Basshunter – Now You’re Gone

July 24th, 2008, 10:38 pm

On July 14th Basshunter released his new album Now You’re Gone. Basshunter a is a swedish techno dj and some of his songs have the UK’s top 40! Basshunter is one of my favorite artists. Some of his songs are in English while others are in sweden. The two songs featured on this album are:

All I Ever Wanted

Now You’re Gone

My favorite song from basshunter is Boten Anna.

The Swedish lyrics of Boten Anna tell the story of a female IRC user mistaken for an IRC bot by the vocalist who later finds out the truth; subsequently, however, he states that she will always remain a bot in his eyes. The song is based on an actual experience of Jonas Erik Altberg (a.k.a. Basshunter), who explained the situation in an interview with the Finnish website Stara.fi. His friend said he would create a bot with administrative capabilities to keep order in his channel, #BassHunter.se; when this happened Jonas saw a new user with administrative capabilities named Anna enter the channel, and naturally thought this was the bot. Months later, he learned that Anna was actually not a bot, but was his friend’s girlfriend; the embarrassment, he says, inspired him to create the song.
