Adam Lambert for the Twilight Saga Soundtrack!

, ,

Even though Adam Lambert was denied the title of American Idol, I think he’d make a perfect fit on one of the soundtracks of the Twilight saga! The singer is definitely Team Edward and can even be a vamp stand in if needed.

Adam’s rendition of Mad World is his Twilight audition.

Mad World has had an interesting past. I didn’t know Tears for Fears originally wrote and performed the song. It’s definitely changed (for the better I think). Take a listen.

I first encountered this song in 2006 from the Gears of War game commercial. After some research, I found the song was redone for the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

And now Adam imparts his personality on this haunting song.

Am I a Glutton?

, ,

Am I a glutton for cacophony? Or maybe it’s just my weak mind, but I was compelled to give 93.9 and 98.5 another evaluation this morning. The result? Better but not near status quo.

Starting with 93.9, I tune in only to hear Maleko having technical difficulties during a contest. The contestant couldn’t hear the game. Fail! Later, Maleko blames malfunctioning equipment for the miscue. Double fail!! I know it’s still a transition time for all, but please, own up to having some troubles, and don’t take the easy route of blaming the equipment.

Later in the programming, Maleko started a listener call-in with an abstract topic. It started with swine flu then having Governor Linda Lingle quarantining all of Hawaii. Then the story shifted to having to repopulate the rest of the (decimated I guess) world and naming a celebrity you’d like to “procreate” with. Wha?

After several songs and commercials, the responses I heard were “Edward Cullen” and “Oprah.” Triple fail!!! Edward Cullen, the make believe vampire from Twilight?! This topic was off-the-wall to begin with but naming a fictitious character and The Oprah was too much.

Things on 98.5 were better with the return of the ringleader aka Rory Wild. He was back on air running the show and guiding Gregg Hammer to his excellent impersonations. Seemed like the duo were making up for yesterday’s sucky show with too much improv, but it was great to have Rory running the show again. Crystal Akana got to step her game up and keep up. Hint, hint, Crystal, when Gregg starts Reggae Time, you gotta get into it and accompany the party that is Reggae Time.

Still though, I just can’t get into the music format of Island 98.5 and even the revamped playlist of 93.9. I’ll be listening to my iPod in the mornings more and more it seems.

Looking at Pulpconnection Stats

, , , , ,

I haven’t been really looking at web stats for Pulpconnection for some time. Visits haven’t been the same since the move to WordPress. Couple the move with less and inconsistent blog posting, and the stats ain’t going to look pretty.

For the month of April 2009, here is the top content:

  1. Ace of Cakes LOST in Hawaii
  2. Team Jacob Getting Pumped
  3. Bella’s Lullaby on Sheet Music
  4. Taylor Lautner, the Next Calvin Klein Underwear Model?
  5. Club 939 tag
  6. Rory Wild Back with the Wakeup Crew
  7. My 15-Minute Review of Tweetie for the Mac
  8. More Heat from Abercrombie & Fitch
  9. The LOST Cake Revealed
  10. GoGirl Lets Women Pee Standing Up

  5. Yahoo

  8. Ginx
  9. MSN
  10. Twitter

Wow, I don’t know if I like the message looking at the top content – a few Twilight things, a few LOST items, controversial ads from Abercrombie & Fitch, and Club 939?!

Looking at the traffic sources demonstrates the changes of social networking. Facebook, Twitter, and Ginx are now valid sources of traffic, albeit small compared to the search engines.

Gotta keep plugging away and see how things go.

Anteaters Enjoy their Coffee

, , , ,

The Anteaters of UC Irvine, the Home of Eater Nation, like their coffee. A full fledged Starbucks store has infiltrated the campus taking the spot of the school’s outside cafe.

The school itself has gotten a facelift with major renovations of the exterior of the Student Center.

The inside of the Bookstore looks about the same though with lotta love for Team Edward.

Team Edward, Team Jacob, Team Woz?!

, ,

So you thought there were only two camps to choose from, Team Edward or Team Jacob. Well, you were wrong. You can’t deny the force of Team Woz of Dancing with the Stars!! Yes, Steve Wozniak is on borrowed time on the DWTS competition, outlasting Belinda Carlisle and Denise Richards, but he’s fighting back as only geeks can.

Woz (and other geeks) have gone online to help his dancing cause. You can get your own Team Woz shirts (with proceeds going to charity) and be sure to join the official Vote for Woz Facebook group. And if that ain’t enough, you can follow @votewoz on Twitter for all kinds of Woz-ilicious updates!
