Happy Find… Me Wanty! Me Wanty!

Ever hear about 3D printing?

This particular product is called the Solidoodle 2, and it “printed” that plastic skull!

It “printed” this castle!

What will I do with such a product, you may wonder.  I’ll “print” frickin’ toys!  That I made up!  How cool is that?!

Coinkydink Or Coinkydonk? Let’s Play Liberal Borrowing Or Homage!

It’s been a few months since I’ve championed originality in music, or as I call it whilst demonizing (rock and roll!) it – liberal borrowing.

Of the latest two occurrences, one I should have caught a while back.  The last time I mentioned Ryan Star on this blog was to pick on his name (go on – click it… it’s one of my better posts).

Needless to say, I embedded the video for his song Breathe, and I never noticed that it’s opening guitar solo sounded oddly familiar…

  • Ryan Star’s Breathe

Ringo any bells?

  • John Lennon’s Woman

I would consider it an homage if it was about the same thing.  But it’s not.  So it’s…

LIBERAL BORROWING!

As for my latest find, I overheard this song playing overhead in a sports bar:

  • Lee Brice’s Hard to Love

Any other song’s intro come racing to mind?

  • Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car

What’s the verdict here – liberal borrowing or homage?

LIBERAL BORROWING AGAIN!
