One thing about borrowing songs from popular bands with fanatic followings as I have done many times for both making videos and covering songs is that you have to do a good job with whatever it is you are trying to accomplish, otherwise these fans get all over you!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I can understand the sentiment.\u00a0 If someone took a piece of music I loved and used it in some hack job that totally sucked, I might be upset!\u00a0 If they didn\u2019t pay proper respect to the music and just used it as some accoutrement without regard to it\u2019s significance, yeah, that would suck.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Significance is, of course, relative.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Late at night, when I\u2019ve run out of things to do on the Internet, I begin reviewing my video archives.\u00a0 Narcissistic as this statement may seem, I\u2019m the most entertaining thing to me that I can find to watch at times.\u00a0 I fill my videos with songs I like, so going back on YouTube and watching them is like my own personal jukebox, featuring\u2026 me!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I ran into this video tonight from 2007 which I haven\u2019t viewed in a while, and based upon the feedback I got from the YouTube community (which is generally very negative), satisfied the necessity for a great song to be accompanied by something that at least respects the quality and sanctity of the song in the ears of the fanatic fan.\u00a0 Soon after I first moved here to Seattle, without really planning it out or knowing precisely where to go, I went off in search of a place I had only heard of, the Sound Garden.\u00a0 A facility on the shores of Lake Washington which inspired a name for one of the best bands in the last 25 years\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, my musical endeavors have NOT lived up to the expectations of the fans.\u00a0 Some of this is related to relative fanaticism.\u00a0 Those Blue October fans who love the song \u201cHate Me\u201d, well, they REALLY love the song \u201cHate Me\u201d\u2026 My cheesy cover got me more hate than any other piece of music I\u2019ve made\u2026 and it features the voice of my actual mother on the phone!\u00a0 Geez.. No respect for the effort!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

7 thumbs up… 19 thumbs down… feel free to click off the song when it gets annoying.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Come to think of it, I think this song garnered more criticism than Hate Me, but primarily for political reasons, as I made this in the height of the 2008 elections.\u00a0 Hey There, Obama.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
