Once again just under the wire, whatever the wire is. I thought this one would be late, but I got it.
Wanted some guitar on this, but I can do that later.
Made what I thought was a
Prince-like groove on my
PSP, with
PSPRhythm and continued down that road. What follows is something that may seem like a spoof, but isn't.
(Edit: I did start the song with an old Benny Hill joke, though)The song is here...and the words

Man, this guy is good.
Dokaka is an a cappella-ist somewhat in the vein of
Bobby McFerrin (but more of a metalhead) and that guy from the
Police Academy flicks who did the special FX with his voice. I'd heard a little of his stuff in a preview for
We Love Katamari, from a
Playstation Underground magazine/disc, a little while back. Didn't blow me away, but I thought it was interesting. I did want to get the game, though.
The other day, I caught a small article about him in the latest issue of
Wired, which I subscribe to (only ten bucks), and thought I'd check out his website. I downloaded a bunch of music, listened to some of it and was like "
Holy shit!!!, This guy's
fucking great!!! And he is, too. And there's a lot of music at his site. I haven't finished listening, yet.
I think every song of the week in April is gonna be a multi-track a cappella production. Obviously, they won't match the blinding brilliance that is Dokaka, but it does offer me a different way of approaching music for a little bit.
February 23rd, 2008 - there is no longer the huge collection of music that was on his site before, though, there are a couple of songs for purchase. More samples and video can be found on his MySpace.Also playing in my
PSP...
My Only Alibi (four song demo) - A guy I know at work is the lead guitarist for this band. I'm not a huge fan of emo (I think that's what this is), but all of these songs are rock solid. From the songwriting to arrangements and the musicianship. It's a little annoying to know someone about half my age who's this good, even if it's not unusual to find better musicians than myself.
Wendy And Lisa -
Lolly Lolly and
Are You My Baby from their 1989 CD,
Fruit At The Bottom. I need to cut out the album intro from the beginning of Lolly, but otherwise I've always dug these two songs. Are You My Baby is sorta
Camille/Prince in voice and production, though maby not much so, lyrically. My first two CDs were this and
Living Colour's
Vivid (both purchased simultaneously).
Still playing;
GTA: Liberty City Stories, Donkey Kong Country, Metal Slug 2, K.E.T.M. and playing with
PSPRhythm.
Sony's apparently working on a
PSOne emulator for the PSP so they can
sell Playstation 1 games that work right off the memory stick. That sounds great, but if it comes at the cost of playing the games and programs I just mentioned (except GTA, which is safe), then I won't be participating in the inevitable firmware upgrade. The lure of being able to play
Jumping Flash again, though...
