Jack the Ninja Mouse
A friend of mine, Nick Franceschina, has put up a musical "challenge", to make as many versions of the Jack the Ninja Mouse song as possible. If you're interested, you can hear the existing versions here. What I was most amazed at was the real musical virtuosity existant in my small cadre of friends. It's depressing that none of these reasonably talented people have done more with that.
I blame the current musical establishment.
Not really. But it is sad that people with reasonable amounts of talent are diverted into something that pays the bills versus something that might enrich our social fabric.
Of course, nobody every claimed that life was about social-fabric-enrichment, so I suppose that's just the way it goes. But that doesn't mean I can't lament it.

Hey I finally found your blog. And cool, you posted about Jack the Ninja Mouse.
Personally, the thing with music is that it's really fun to make a song every now and then, but quite a mental drain. I can't imagine making a song when it's not just goofing off and strictly on my own schedule. I guess that's why I'm not a "real" artist.
Of course I'm completely ignoring the fact that I'm essentially a musical illiterate. If something super simple like GarageBand wasn't out there, I would probably never be able to record anything.
Peter your mashup was cool! We need other folks to submit songs! Come on everybody!
