Vincent James & Keep Music Alive!

Two Blog Tuesday HA HA :)

That’s right folks its two blogs in a row like in back to back as in absolutely amazing :) Okay I promise not to celebrate again until Friday when and if I hit 5 blogs in a row :)

Piano Glove – Turning you into a Player Piano - Today we’re gonna talk about this cool Piano invention I saw called the “Piano Glove” that actually turns any 5 fingered person into a player piano (pretty cool huh :)). Seems the lightweight glove hooks up to a computer and will send each finger vibrations when that finger is supposed to hit a key. Gee I wonder if it does just the 5 keys in front of your hand or if it can tell your fingers/hand to move up and down the keyboard :) As a piano player myself this invention does sound pretty neat although I’m not entirely sure of its benefit beyond the novelty aspect. The general selling point is that by using the glove you are training your brain to remember which fingers to use (and maybe helps prevent lazy fingers ha ha..I can see the extreme version next where the vibration becomes a shock if you don’t play the right key. The Piano glove is also apparently wireless and to learn more about it at the GA Tech website at Piano Glove

AI Tonight – Top Itunes Downloads - I went searching today to find out what the music theme for tonight was going to be and low and behold its Idols singing the Top ITunes Downloads. That’s pretty funny after I did my rant in Monday’s blog about the ITunes price hike that starts April 1st. I’m sure the timing of the ITunes theme night is meant to somehow offset the bad-press of the price hike but it might backfire and give it more attention. So if its Itunes night I suspect we’ll hear a lot of current tunes sung by the Idols tonight. Best way to stay in the game is to choose a song sung by the other gender (ie. Not yours) and change the arrangement so it doesn’t sound like bad karaoke. It also helps if you improve upon the current arrangement now being blasted at us on radio a bazillion times/day. This week is probably do or die for Scott MacIntyre who seems out of his league these days although Megan joy could also be in trouble if she doesn’t remember what it was we liked about her way back.

That’s all for today Tuesday…tomorrow we’ll blog about the Idol performances from tonight and some other music’n’love tidbits :)
