W♥M165: Dancing with Cassie

W♥M165 (20 mins)

Things have slowed down here at W♥M because of the holidays and sheer laziness.

While I'm putting things up in nice tidy square cardboard boxes, I've been listening to my "go to" playlist of Belle & Sebastian, God Help the Girl and Baxendale - plus not-so-"go to" video of "Uknowwhatiwant" by Elektrisk Gønner.

I don't think any of these bands actually active (Baxendale broke up years ago). I looked up God Help the Girl and they are filming a new music video this July 2013 and they were looking for someone to allow them to film for three weeks in their "spacious" house. The house has to obviously be in Glasgow, Scotland…

They were also looking for professional and non-professional actors, assuming they are unpaid stand-ins (?).

It should be good, whatever God Help the Girl decide to do should be worth looking into. I love their debut album; I'm getting tired of listening to the one album! More please.

If you stay for the "Bonus Round", it's all Baxendale. Plus randomly: Juliana Hatfield in 1995! I found this used ticket stub to Hatfield at The Fillmore, in San Francisco on June 23rd, 1995.

Site Update: W♥M Community and Slim PS3

Ryan created a W♥M Community on G+:

I don't really "get it", what's the difference between a G+ Product Page and a Community Page? I'm not the only one confused by this, no one I know uses G+. It's a dead social network if no one uses it.

Remember how I said I was going to trade in my Xbox for a new PS3? Well it happened. I traded in about 30+ games and the Xbox and made enough to cover a 160GB Fourth Generation PlayStation 3. Let's be clear, it's not the fifth generation "Super Slim" with the clam-shell slide to open machine. The reason why I don't like the new model is because it exposes the Blu-Ray laser. I've had bad experiences of accidentally touching the laser and screwing up my DVD or Blu-Ray player, so from personal experiences, I would prefer to never see the laser.

Setting up the new PS3 was really easy. I had to verify my ID, so now all my games I previously downloaded are available again for me. It's nice to have a 160GB drive! I can now save more movies on the HD or install more full games on the system.

The only thing that I found was annoying was the YouTube app. It used to ran just fine on the 1st Generation, but this version seems problematic. It would load up, but after you play one or two videos, it starts to stutter. Bandwidth isn't the problem, it's probably with the new PS3 itself. I'm waiting for the app to get updated, but in the meantime, I can't really use it. Crackle and Vudu seems to run just fine.

Other than that, the new PS3 works just fine. In my opinion, it's still the best media and Blu-Ray player in the market right now. No other players compare to its speed and power to render 1080p videos. Plus, it plays games.

If you want to hold out, the PS4 is rumored to be out in 2014.

PS, Been listening to Baxendale again.
