Blog Critique: Kingblind

I love music, art and entertainment.

Who doesn't take an interest to these things?

The blog, KingBlind: Music, Art & Entertainment, is all about music, the recent goss from the music industry and MORE music. It's a funky site, loaded with all sorts of stuff for the music lover, including links to free downloads.

An example of what you'd see on Kingblind is the following notice: "Supermodel Kate Moss becomes a pole dancer in the video for the White Stripes' new single I Just Don't Know what to Do with Myself ... And guess what - now we've got the whole video ..." . In one of the August entries, Kingblind alleges that there is "undeniable forensic proof that the Beatles legend Paul McCartney really was replaced with a look-alike in 1966."

KingBlind is important to the wider community beacuse it has the ability to update viewers on news that interests them the most. It publishes music news, album and concert reviews, mp3's, art, entertainment and heaps more!

The author of the Kingblind blogs is mblind. The acutally identity of the author is anonymous. The only way that readers are able to get some sort of contact with the author is via email. The content is a combination of art,entertainment, dairy and news, which is updated regularly. The oldest Kingblind blog can be seen in the archive dating back to March, 2003.

Kingblind has adopted a casual style which appeals heavily to the younger generation. The designs are visually appealing and immediately attract the attention of viewers. It's simplicity makes it an interesting and compelling read. It closely resembles the form of a diary, where the most recent posts are located at the top of the page. All posts are illustrated with images, or ocassionally accompanied with sound or video.

You have the choice of subscribing to Kingblind by entering your email address. Also, viewers can see in the miscellaneous section that weekly charts are posted in relation to music, books, movies and for this week magazines. The blog has also established a list of "Recommended" sites to visit on the web.

The magnitude of Kingblind's audience is unknown as there is no display of comments that have been left by visitors.

Kingblind does not rely on sources, but merely exists through means of opinion. It is a source of information and source of criticism. It involves the ravings of a complete random. The writings are coated with originality and passion, which is definetly a thumbs up for me!

Karaoke.

You don't have to be Asian to love it.

A few nights ago, I was forced to listen to a friend's rendition of "I will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. Can i just say, my ears have only just stopped bleeding!

The scene took place in my lounge. I was surrounded by two of my favourite people, my cousin Randell and a friend who shall remain anonymous for safety reasons. My admiration and respect for those two people quickly died as i endured hours of out-of-tune voices. Also, the love that i once had for songs such as; "Crocodile Rock" , "You are my Sunshine" and "My Heart will Go On" is gone. All in all, the only thing that mattered to me was that i kicked ass with a score of 97, thanks to the Bangles.

If you think you can beat me, get ready for an ASS-WHOOPING!

p.s Karaoke nights are nightly at my crib.

Facebook vs Myspace

I doubt there is not one person who doesn't have either Myspace or Facebook. Which one they prefer is a completely different question in itself. For me, I personally take a liking to Myspace because, well...I know how to use it! I know others would disagree in saying that Facebook is a better social network because it's features are in a league of their own.

Some would consider Myspace to be like Bebo, a place where fifteen year old sluts attempt to hook up. I take a different approach and see Myspace as a popular place for people to promote themselves. Bands and djs are promised a large audience and thus their work exposed. Its easy for fans to be notified of where their favourite artists are playing and show their support.

As someone who had Myspace first, and then tried to set up Facebook, the whole 'attempt' didn't last very long. I like Myspace better because the layout is ultimately up to you, whereas with Facebook, everyone pretty much has the same look whilst having different applications. However with Myspace, it seems like it's a battle with everyone to have as many friends as possible. With Facebook, your friend list probably consists of your 'real friends'.

The choice is up to you!

Girl Power

As most people already know, the Spice Girls have announced a world tour.

If you don't know who the Spice Girls are, your asking for an ass whooping!

Most kids who grew up in the 90s will be familiar with their 'Girl Power' motto and songs such as 'Wannabe, Say You'll Be There, Stop (I still remember the dance moves), Spice Up Your Life and 2 Become 1'.

So far, 11 tour dates have been announced. The thing that shits me is that there is only the one show planned for Australia in Sydney. You'd think I'd be ecstatic that I'm actually in the state they'll be performing in, but the likelihood of me actually getting a ticket is slim.

In order to obtain tickets, fans were asked to register on www.spicegirlsonline.com/. Naturally, I registered like a BAGILLION times and registered the names of family and friends. Whether or not they knew about the concert, didn't matter to me. It was just an excuse to use all the names of people I knew, so that I could be the one to get an email saying that I had received tickets.

OF COURSE THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED!!

Every girl will be wanting the opportunity for these childhood songs to be sung just as they remember them.

Registering on Spice Girls.com has given me nothing but false hope.

Grrrrrrr!
