Fascist Spanko DJ
I am a music whore. Literally. Professor says I do things to excess and I would have to agree when it comes to music. There are some people in the world who enjoy silence. I enjoy music.
I never go anywhere without my mp3 player, and depending on where I am, there is something playing in the background and it is usually from one of the latest playlists I have created. I am obsessed with downloading music and burning CDs. So obsessed in fact, that I will use any excuse to burn a CD for someone.
I use music to express my moods, tell people how I feel. You want to know whats in my head at any given moment? Check out my playlist on my mp3 player. Or even better, check out the first song listed on the pulldown menu of my video player on my blog. Music can be a way of communicating for me.
And at parties? I control the stereo. I am what you would call a fascist DJ.
Being a fascist DJ, you can imagine how thrilled I was to come across the video player on Angelbrat's blog a month or two ago. It opened up undiscovered territory for me in the blogworld. All of a sudden my blog became a multisensory blogging experience and I was able to change the song based on my moods. Tah Dah!
Okay, so it was only one song which could get a tad redundant if you spent any length of time on my blog because the song looped over and over again, but still, I thought it was rather cool and I had a new toy to play with.
For a while at least. Until Professor called me on the phone:
Him: Your blog sucks!
Me: Er...w..wha....wh..y.....what??? ~confused, sort of high pitched tone as brain kicks into high gear....scramble scramble....what did I write?
Him: That noise. You have some sort of noise that plays when I visit your blog. What is that?
Me: Uh.... most people would refer to that noise as music.
Him: That's debatable Naughty One, and it is beside the point.
Me: Um, okay....so are you calling to tell me you don't like it? ~genuinely confused now~ What point are you referring to?
Him: The point is that it draws unwanted attention. Anyone in the near vicinity can hear it and will actually turn to look to see where the noise is coming from. ~slightly louder, more strained, exasperated tone~ The point is shut it off!
Me: Ahhhhh..... ~smirky sort of smiley tone~ Stealthy spanko surfing, Professor. ~wink, wink nudge, nudge~ Gotcha ;)
To be honest, it hadn't occurred to me that my "multisensory blogging experience" may be a bit....hmm...inconvenient for people at times, especially if they were trying to be stealthy. Or that it may even be annoying to those folks that find my music (sniff.) noise-like. However, that being said, I do like having the music, and so I brought up the issue to Study Boy over dinner.
Me: Professor called The All-American Rejects noise.
Study Boy: Yeah well, maybe he just isn't cultured enough to share your fine taste for all things musical ~he says, his voice dripping with sarcasm~
Me: ~my eyes narrowing, a forkful of mashed potatoes held in midair~ Sarcasm is the protest of the weak you know.
Study Boy: ~a trademark eyeroll~ Okay, Phineas.
Me: Anywayyyyyy.... the thing is, I want music on my blog but he mentioned that it may draw.....attention when someone is say...... sitting in the computer lab and surfing...... ~voice trails off~
Study Boy: You mean the music on your spanking blog may draw unwanted attention to the poor person sitting in the back of the computer lab trying to feed their inner kink moppet?
Me: ~mouthful of mashed potatoes~ unh...yeath.....
Study Boy: ~tone, bored; shoulders, shrugged in an obvious attempt to finish up our conversation and return to his own mashed potatoes~ Why not make it so that you have an option? I am sure you can play around with the html a bit.
Me: YeahhhhH!!! That is a great idea! When can you do that? And can I have more than one video? What about a list, some sort of menu and then I can have a playlist?
Study Boy: groannnnn.....
Anyway, when all was said and done, Study Boy, true to techie geek form had written a nifty little script that allows me to have the option of music complete with playlist and a pull down menu! Very clever of him I think.
Feel free to peruse my new in-blog theatre and check out my playlist. And no, I don't take requests.
