Cassette Kids - Lying Around

"Nothing's gonna happen if you're lying around"
Australia's Cassette Kids is a band I've been meaning to check out for some time now. Based on their description, I knew I'd like them, but for one reason or another I always passed them by. Now I'm kind of addicted to their song Lying Around, a single off their upcoming album. I think the biggest reason I like it is that it reminds me a little of No Doubt when they were first coming out. Lead singer Katrina Noorbergen has a similar pop/punk warble as Gwen Stefani and here the band go for a disco-infused track with plenty of synthesized strings. As you can see from the promo pic, they've also got a similar look. The comparison's not meant to take anything away from the band, though. They stand quite well on their own. And if this and their newest single, Spin (which sounds more like Surferosa actually), is any indication, the album is going to be pretty fantastic.

Google Buzz Button For Blogger

Udah tau kan kalo Google ngerilis Google Buzz yang terintegrasi di halaman Gmail? Bagi yang belum coba silahkan cek aja di Gmail dan bagi yang belum punya account Gmail bikin dulu aja. Kehadiran Google Buzz memang kontroversial termasuk dalam hal privacy pengguna Gmail, tetapi bagi pemilik website atau blog dapat menjadi tempat baru buat berbagi (sharing informasi).
Seperti jejaring sosial yang lain (Facebook atau Twitter) pemilik blog atau situs dapat menambahkan "Share Button" Google Buzz ke halaman blog atau situs sehingga memungkinkan pengunjung langsung tinggal tekan klik pada "Share Button" tersebut untuk memposting di halaman Google Buzz. Tombol ini berfungsi seperti tombol Share untuk Facebook dan ReTweet untuk Twitter.
Tahap pertama buat pasang Button ini setelah Login di Blogger terus cari menu "Layout" di halaman "Dashboard" dan klik "Edit HTML" selanjutnya jangan lupa centang pada tick box "Expand Widget Templates". Kemudian cari aja kode " <div class='post-header-line-1'/> " (tanpa tanda kutip) apabila "Share Button" ditampilkan di bawah judul tulisan/ baris pertama tulisan atau cari kode " <div class='post-footer'> " (tanpa tanda kutip) apabila "Share Button" ditampilkan di "footer" postingan atau terserah mau ditaruh dimana "Share Button" tersebut.
Tahap kedua adalah menambahkan kode HTML Google Buzz di bawah kode yang ditemukan di atas, kode yang harus di copy & paste seperti di bawah:
<div style='float:left;padding:4px;'>
<a expr:href='"http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=" + data:post.url + "&title=" + data:post.title + "&srcTitle=" + data:blog.title+ "&srcURL=" + data:blog.homepageUrl ' rel='nofolloW' style='text-decoration:none;' target='_blank'>
<img alt='Buzz It' src='http://i46.tinypic.com/121wg9e.jpg' style='border:0px;'/></a>
</div>
Ada beberapa pilihan icon buat Google Buzz Button seperti contoh kode diatas http://i46.tinypic.com/121wg9e.jpg adalah seperti gambar berikut:

Sedangkan apabila diganti dengan alamat http://i47.tinypic.com/2j0b02c.jpg akan menjadi seperti:

Untuk pilihan gambar boleh diganti sesuai keinginan atau bikin sendiri gambarnya, sedangkan secara default kode di atas untuk penempatan di sebelah kiri (kode: "float:left") bisa diganti penempatan di sebelah kanan (kode: "float:right")
Tahap ketiga atau tahap terakhir adalah "Preview" terlebih dahulu sebelum melakukan "Save Template" untuk memastikan apakah penempatan Google Buzz button sudah sesuai keinginan. Tutorial ini hanya untuk Blogger/ Blogspot sedangkan bagi blogger yang memiliki blog atau website pake Wordpress dapat menggunakan pluggin yang juga akan memperlihatkan counter Buzz dengan WPbuzzer.
Happy Buzzer! and follow my Google Buzz on TamtomoBuzz

What Would Hedo's "My Player" Grade Be?

In a world hampered by the recession, there is one industry that seems to be immune to it all - the business of video games.
Video games have thrived in the past and will always continue to find success because it appeals to all ages. You've got your action and adventure games, your puzzle games, music-inspired games, and even games that encourage you to stay fit. But what's the one division of the gaming world that is basically foolproof when it comes to sales? You guessed it. Sports games.
So what happens when you take a sports game like NBA 2K10 and fuse it with our favorite NBA team? Simple, you get this thought-provoking mystery:
"What was Hedo Turkoglu's "My Player" teammate grade last night?"
If you own a copy of NBA 2K10, you've probably played their newest feature called "My Player". In this mode, you take control of one individual instead of the usual full team. Though it does have it flaws and bugs, the developers did a fair job in their first year with the game mode in regards to capturing what it feels like to play basketball in real life.
One of the key features of "My Player" represents itself through the game's grading system. In an attempt to give gamers something to play for, a player must gain skill points. These points can then be used to upgrade their player's abilities (these range from obvious skills like mid range shooting, ball handling, and on ball-defense to little things like clutch factor, stamina, and strength). Now, in order to gain these skill points, you basically have to earn a passing grade from the game. This can be done in each game by completing objectives such as "Commit less than 2 turnovers" or "Shoot better than 40% from the field". Another way you can gain points is by simply playing like how you would at your local community centre. In other words: "Don't be a jerk." Be productive. Be a good teammate. And don't goof around.
Which got me thinking about Hedo Turkoglu's wonderful performance last night against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Wise Words From The NBA 2K Insider
Wow! That was a great game...for the other player that had to guard you. Luckily for them, they didn't have to worry about you for an entire 4 quarters. Did you walk away from the television screen thinking you had pressed the "Pause" button? Fortunately for you, that contract of yours is unmovable. There's absolutely no advice I can give you at this point. Maybe we can just return the game from where you bought it?
Teammate Grade: F
Capra - Low Day

"What you say just fades away"
Don't let the title fool you. This is one of the jolliest pop songs of the past few months. Low Day sounds like something the Kooks would have come up with in their heyday, which is pretty surprising given that Capra is being marketed as a "Radio Disney" band. The lead singer, Kelly Blatz, stars in Disney XD's Aaron Stone (a real treat for anyone that likes cheesy live action kid's adventure series, btw), among other productions on the channel. Unlike most young actors-turned-singers, his vocals sound totally authentic and the band feels like something that formed naturally, rather than through corporate meddling. There's no resisting the hook here, or the bright, hand-clappy, summery beat. It's easily one of my favorite songs to come out of America recently and deserves to fully crossover into the adult market. Preferably during Summer, because this was made for the beach. Give it a listen. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised (and then unable to purge the melody from your head). Now, the question is, can they maintain this quality when it's time for their debut album?
