Haarp DVD Trailer

Popey / Stu from Musecast did a fancy video trailer for Haarp, looked pretty good ergo you should check it out :)

Muse remix: Punintended

Right folks, for all you oldies, chances are you’ve heard this but nonetheless it’s still fun to listen to! This was one of my most sleaziest gameboy sounding cover ever, and strangely I still like it. Nothing beats square synths and crazy fat bass lines hehe.

Punintended

I’ll release some new stuff in future but I think people who are new to the site need to experience the retro covers to appreciate the site more hehe. Post your opinions after you’ve had a lovely listen

Muse Royal Albert Hall Tickets

Monopoly dudeWell that was a lovely morning of jamming in captcha codes and constantly refreshing for some ticket buying action. Hope most of you were able to get the tickets and all. I must say Ticketmaster and Seeticket really need to get their act together and improve the system they are using. It’s just far too messy. Most people were stuck with “server is busy screen” or were told that the tickets they requested weren’t available when in fact, a majority of users don’t realise that the websites use certain tricks to ensure that transactions go through, and that usually involves blocking out the people who constantly refresh and letting those who just popped in to buy them.

I’ve seen it done before, you go onto the page and bam, server is busy, but no matter how many times you refresh it’s the same screen whilst some people manage to get it first time. Once the board was given a tip to simply purchase the tickets through a proxy in order to bypass their sneaky system of directing people with a certain ip address to the busy page and letting the first timers get their way. I believe cookies might be involved too but who knows. It’s definitely not the best way of reducing load since the people who refresh a lot are the ones who want to get the tickets the most.

Crazybobbles.org is back!

Hello folks, don’t know how much you’ve been checking out my site for updates and all but I am proud to say that crazybobbles.org is finally back! As announced on my blog (well you’re reading it now) I’m migrating my blog to crazybobbles.org since it makes perfect sense. I’ve recently got a job so it was simply too hard to manage so many sites in one go, now I will be able to manage both my blogging and muse updates in one. This won’t be an entirely Muse related blog since I’m very sure you have more awesome sites (microcuts, muse.mu and musewiki) for your news reporting. It wouldnt be a good idea to release a site to simply repeat what other more experienced and developed sites report. So yeah, makes sense.

The selling point (or niche) is you’ll be getting a informal array of posts about Muse from an old time Muse fan who’ve seen them far too many times. More insights and discussion fuelled posts which you won’t get on other sites. I want to keep my vibe from the old site of having a site about musers, and not Muse. I will also integrate my musewiki updates on here which will in turn feed into the wiki to keep those who like to wiki informed of new developments, got to love integration eh?

Not only will I be updating about Muse here, I will start redoing my covers here and give them some life. That was the original purpose of my site so it’s only fair to start doing them again. I’m looking at using various sites such as youtube and myspace to host and spread my covers too so hopefully it will be awesome. Some songs were simply too cringeworthy so hopefully you’ll see a new refresh of covers that I’m happy about :).

Think that’s about it, enjoy the new site, more changes of the blog can be found on my previous posts. Read my old personal posts too if you want ;) get to know more about me and my horrid past haha. Will be looking forward to giving you more unadulterated blog action. Hope you enjoy my new theme, take care and hope to see you soon (yes my blog is a living entity capable of “seeing you”).
