If you haven't heard it yet, go over to LadyGaga.com and listen to Born This Way. It is a TONNE of fun and the song will start playing right when you land on her page. You can also watch massively talented ten year old Maria Aragon from Winnipeg sing it too, by clicking over to YouTube. There is also THIS ADORABLE video of Maria talking to GAGA while on a Winnipeg radio station yesterday morning! It is so sweet I watched it twice!
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the Canadian Music Awards, The Junos. In honour of the anniversary, they are having a contest where you vote for your ten favourite Juno nominated songs by following this link to their Facebook Page. I don't think you have to "Like" the Juno page to vote, but you do have to accept an application to submit your list. There are too many amazing/classic songs to choose from that I couldn't pick my favourite ten, so I haven't voted. Some of the awesome choices include: Rock Me Gently by Andy Kim, Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone by Glass Tiger, Can't Stop This Thing We Started by Bryan Adams, Drinking in L.A. by Bran Van 3000, and Could I be Your Girl by Jann Arden.
Geeky Goodness
I recently discovered some online photo editors. FotoFlexer provides many different tools to embellish and enhance your photos, and there is even a function that lets you merge two photos together. I used FotoFlexer to add the text and the border to the above photo of Gary. I also tried Picnik, which has some pretty cool shapes and designs that you can layer onto your photos. I also like that you don't have to "sign-up" to use these services.
Atomic Tom does a pretty good cover of Don't You Want Me for a movie coming out called Take Me Home Tonight. The music video is really fun, with the movie's actors portraying iconic scenes from 80's flicks.
Rick Mercer does a nice send up of the proposed metered internet in Canada.
This is the best use of Justin Bieber I have ever seen. Have a great weekend everybody!
