In addition to posting her thoughts about Zune this week, Rachel from Scenestars features an inspired fan-made video for OK Go's  "Here it Goes Again." . . . Wait. . . before I post that, I should post the original:

And now, the tribute. Featuring Legos:

Best. Video. Evar.

Cool post on Scenestar. I hear the voice of Daria when I read her entry. I like the idea of being able to send a list of your recent top tracks to a friend. It reminds me of Last.fm. I listen to my music at home and work with the old audioscrobbler plugin on winamp. It would be great if there was a third party or packaged app. that let me export my Zune playlists for inclusion in my Last.fm statistics. It would also be great to be able to stream the high bitrate WMA stream of KEXP directly to my Zune if I'm in a cloud and have the battery for it. (Or any internet radio for that matter. Hmm.)
Not so impressed by the review -- mostly because it was about everything BUT the Zune. In case you started reading it and didn't actually get past all the rambling that makes most of the post, here's the relevant Zune information: "So what did I think about the Zune? Well, I thought it was neato. Seriously, I use Microsoft Media Player - everyday! And I like it. I like the way it is set up and I like the pretty pictures of the albums. This is what's cool about the Zune: instead of a gray screen when a song plays the full album cover pops up on the screen. I liked the 3:4 screen size and the video looked very high res. Since I've never owned a real Ipod, the buttons aren't hard for me to figure out and don't feel awkward. I also did not have any problem with it's size. I like the idea of pointing my player at the cute boy in the coffee shop and perusing his playlists. I'm fine with someone sending me some songs for three pays or three days. I suggested they add a feature where you can generate specific playlists based on "most listened" to songs in a week or a month, or generate a playlist based on song ratings, then if someone asks you what you have been listening to lately, you can instantly generate a playlist full of Black Crowes songs and zap it to them instead of lying about how much you love the new Cold War Kids. If it's a file that's free and clear and I like it, I can have the file sharer email it to me or go to the band's website and download it. As a matter of fact, this builds community because you are forced to actually talk to the person to find out more about the music rather than them just zapping you aome songs and you never really having to talk to them again. If it's not free and clear, it can easily be found on El.bows or soulseek. I mean come on, all the people that are crying about DRM, heyzeus christ! If you want the fucking song for free, you can find the fucking song for free. Don't be a douchebag. Ooops, too late! As for my con list, well, as I also told the staffers at Zune, the sharing aspect isn't gonna be a big selling point for folks like me for a while. Living in Memphis, I think I know about 5 people that own Mp3 players, and since we tend to drive most places, it's not like I am using mine at the same time someone else is using theirs, like, ever." Hey Cesar, how about you show me the Zune and let me do a review? I live in Seattle so you won't have to fly me anywhere (but it'd be nice to get one of those T-shirts.)
I don't know who that lady (Scenestars) is, but she is, without a doubt, awesome. That's just what a lot of people needed to hear.
