iDie Apple ad Parody

While on my way to and from work everyday I am constantly astonished by the sheer number of white iPod headphone cords I spot. Of course I’m one of those people too. It sure does make me feel like just another lemming consumer… [ Though 1) I do think that iPods are great devices and 2) I probably would have bought another brand, but got an iPod as a gift. ]

Seeing so many of the white cords inevitably makes me think about my daily struggles with my messy tangle of headphone wires. The ear buds always work their way into a knot, and are always such a hassle to extract. Plus I have the Apple iPod remote which adds an additional length of wirey confusion. Somewhere in the space between these two separate issues I came up with the morbid thought that one day an iPod lemming will end up choking on a tangled cord. Or, even more morosely, committing suicide using the signature cords to hang themselves (Please don’t try this at home. This parody was performed by a trained stunt professional) So that is how the iDie Apple ad parody came to being. I guess it’s pretty sick and weird, but I couldn’t help myself. I seriously need some Shure earbuds and a shrink.

Fresh DJ Spyhunter Track

I just posted a new song to my site called “Beach Break“. It’s a progressive breaks track with a teeny bit more of a more gritty, hard edge than the tracks I was producing before. This is mostly inspired by the style of Breakfastaz tracks and a few other almost NRG type songs that really get me dancin’. Though it still retains the signature sound I try to produce of catchy blippy melodies overlayed with lush string harmonies and a bouncin drum track. Hopefully I will have a proper new Spyhunter site completed by end of year, as well as more new mix sets, songs, and West Coast gigs. Watch out SF!

Butter Darth Vader & Yoda

What happens when you take 1000 lbs of butter, a bored artist in Tulsa and an epic movie? Butter Wars! I guess every year they make some butter creation to celebrate wonderful cows, or yummy milk, or the lovely people that milk cows (I don’t know!) Well, this time they spread it on with both the power of the Dark Side and the Force and came up with a Darth Vader / Yoda combo piece. My question is - Will George Lucas come after them for copyright infringement?!
