Which man dares to say ‘No’ when you are invited to a very special artist showcase by Carmen Reece? Breakout recording star Carmen Reece is hosting an Unplugged Showcase and Album Listening Event. Carmen will take the stage for an unforgettable live performance, and preview her upcoming debut album, ‘Love In Stereo’.
Awww damn, I can not make it. :<

A quote I just heard on the television. There is even a Wiki-page ‘dedicated’ on the topic “Fake it till you make it”. Here are two tips for you make your neighbours think you are rich!

If that doesnot do the trick then try it this way:

Just read, because of The Simpson’s 20th birthday (seasons), Marge Simpson is going to pose in Playboy magazine! Playboy released the cover as prove:

If you are not a Simpson-fan then you might be wondering when Family Guy’s Lois will be appearing the magazine:

Ahhh, some good news. Dutch soccerteam AZ is sinking! Yes, I know: “I am evil” :-). Their main sponsor sank and its taking AZ with them. AZ, which supposedly was the best team in the Netherlands, is pretending nothing is wrong and who would expected anything else? Just wait and see.

Ever watched the TV-show “Supernatural”? It’s a horror/sci-fi show running in its fifth season. At first I wasnot impressed by the show (first season) but a year ago I watched a couple and became enthousiastic.
It wasnot until a few months ago that I became a ‘fan’. I have to say that it’s a real guy-show. No chick-flick, guy-humor, pretty ladies and action with some horror. So pretty awesome.
In the tv-show the guys drive a Chevrolet Impala 1967. A real American car which does look pretty good. To be honest I prefer other (read: European) cars but old American cars look a whole lot better then current ones. The cars have more attitude, rougher, and a bit bulkier = American car.
Take a look at the Impala ‘67:

And the current version, Impala 2009:

Ahh, it took a couple of months but the show “Soiuth Park” is back. I just watched the latest episode entitled “Dead Celibrities”. It was nice… I have seen better but heeey, its fantastic to see a new episode!

Ralph Lauren’s marketing department has come up with a wonderful new campaign. Take a slim woman and ‘photoshop’ her into a Medieval woman. Take a look at this:

Just read that Mike Zito (music artist) is from Nederland, Texas, United States. Nederland? That’s my country! Well, in English its The Netherlands or Holland. In Dutch its ‘Nederland’ or Holland. For all you non-believers, here is a screenshot:

Here is a link to Google Maps.
LCD, right? Most people tend to choose for the more popular one. Are they right, or not? Naturally, like most decisions this is a subjective opinion but nevertheless facts are facts.

We start with LCD’s negative points:
- response times;
- black is *not* black;
- backlight bleeding (most visible in a dark room or at night);
- can’t display HDTV fully/properly due to limited lines;
- dead pixels which can *not* be repared;
- best quality in front of the tv.
Positive:
- cheap;
- brightness;
- good for computer hook-ups;
- design-wise;
- lite weight.
Plasma negative points:
- burn-in remains possible;
- expensive;
- consume more power;
- heavy;
- in sunlight more reflections.
Positive:
- black IS black;
- no quality loss viewing from different angels;
- no response times;
- HDTV can be displayed in 1024i/p.
Conclusion: plasma wins by a long-shot when you want the best quality. Below a 1000 bucks you get the best value when buying a LCD. Presumably that is why most people buy a LCD and take for granted the lack of quality.
Ever heard of rapper Cage? You are missing out. Tight beats and an ill flow make Cage a must-listen. He dropped his latest album “Depart From me” last June. Another release “Movies For The Blind” (produced by Mighty Mi) has been re-released which is extremely dope (i.e., ‘Too Much’, ‘Unlike Tower 1 featuring High & Mighty’s Mr. Eon’).

Cage has been dropping sh*t since late 90’s (i.e., For Your Box, Agent Orange, etc…). Don’t sleep because he is worth a listen.

I assume y’all have heard about Kanye West’s pathetic ‘performance’ at MTV. Let’s just say his album sales are (or is it now ‘were’) down and he needs the doe. Just check out the following song called “Gay Fish” which is about him. Props to South Park for being on point!

Anyway, I was just listening to “Make Her Say” by Kid Cudi. Damn, that’s a real catchy tune + refrain. Common (Sense) and Kanye drop a few lines making this sh*t classic!

It’s been quite a ride. Last +/- seven days a lot of work has been done regarding ‘Search Engine Optimalization’ (=SEO). MusicRemedy’s URL consisted out of capitalization and underscores (_). The first one is not that bad since your keywords gain a bit more attention. However, search engines are not that keen on capitalization or uppercase behaviour. So, this has been removed and re-directed to lowercase (except for pictures/files).
The second one is not that bad either but the best option (according to Google) is hyphen (-). For instance your URL has “britney_spears” in it. A search engine will consider this one word. Therefore you are missing out on traffic. By using a hyphen your url will be “britney-spears” and both words will be recognized as separate.
So take a look for yourself:
Britney Spears (old URL: http://musicremedy.com/b/Britney_Spears/)
Britney Spears (new url: http://musicremedy.com/b/britney-spears/)
You might be thinking, what’s all the commotion about? Does this really matter? Huhhhmm, yes it matters a lot!
