I am a huge AC/DC fan. In my eyes they can do no wrong. But the same thing cannot be said about their record company, which is now Sony BMG. You remember Sony records, right? The company that, in an effort to thwart music piracy, sold CD's that installed a root kit on the person's computer. This is software that allows people to take control over another person's computer. bad move.
But I digress.
Why is the Iron Man 2 Soundtrack not the best idea Sony has ever come up with? It seems like a winner on the surface. AC/DC was one of the biggest selling bands in 2008 and 2009. They are one of the biggest selling band OF ALL TIME (take that, Kenye). Their album Back in Black is the number 2 highest selling album of all time - second only to Michael Jackson's Thriller. And the movie is sure to be a winner as it;s a follow-up to the smash hit movie of 2008.
The problem with this CD is that the only person I can recommend buy it is the die hard fans.
Bu-bu-whaat?!? You're saying, "Hey Ken, if it wasn't such a great idea, why would a die hard fan want to buy this thing?" That's because for $38 they have a collector's edition that includes the CD, a DVD with 50 minutes of never seen before live footage, 2 Iron Man comic books, an AC/DC poster and replica backstage passes. This is something a die had fan cannot pass up. The song selection is negligible. In fact it's because of the song selection that I will recommend that the casual listener stay away from this CD.
You see, this is not a "greatest hits" as it has been advertised. In fact, it's not even a "somewhat modest hits CD". The songs have been selected by the director of Iron Man, Jon Favreau, who also plays his security guard, Hogan, in both movies. The songs have been selected to help tell the story of the movie, but are not even close to being their best songs. In fact, one of the songs is actually a throw-away song that had never been released on a CD until the band released their most recent box set, Back Tracks.
So the diehard fans will already own all these songs and really only need to buy this package for the extra goodies, and the casual fan will be disappointed to find that almost half of the tracks are not considered their greatest hits. I would love to see AC/DC release a greatest hits CD someday. For new fans to have all their best material would be an investment in buying 16 full CD's. It would be nice for new fans to have a double CD package with 30 of the band's biggest hits.
So for the casual fan, stay away from the Iron Man 2 Soundtrack if you want a greatest hits package. This isn't it.

Back in December, we had a Pay It Forward giveaway and I was offering a floral package from the amazing Lynn Lucente. The winner needed to either live in or be getting married in Orange County. We chose a winner on December 16th. We never heard from her. :( I normally would give a winner 3 days to contact me and claim their giveaway...but because of the holidays and because of the value of this giveaway ($1265!) I wanted to give her more time. The other problem...and let this be a lesson to everyone who enters my giveaways....the winner did not leave me a way to contact her. She left her blog info...where I have posted messages asking her to contact me. I have waited for so long, but now it is time to move forward. Another winner has been chosen.

Encore: “a second achievement especially that surpasses the first”-Merriam Webster Dictionary
The Encore Bride is blog about wedding planning with the twist, we have been-there-done-that before. At this stage of our lives we have found true love and are looking forward to celebrating it with those that are very dear to us. This time around our wedding celebration will reflect our style and personality even if it does not follow the industry standards. I look forward to sharing fabulous ideas, inspiration and tips that will help us along the way.
Besides wedding planning I am also in the process of launching a girl’s special occasion apparel line, I hope I can also share some of the ups and downs of that process, I look forward to hearing from you!
Welcome to MadameWario's official Encore! To celebrate over 1,000 subscribers on youtube (and to complete a few things that I didn't get the chance to complete before), every Sunday for the rest of the summer you can expect an encore of a game I have played in the past and possibly parts of that game that I didn't show off before.
Wow...I seriously can't believe I actually convinced myself to do this for you guys... You should feel pretty darned special and loved right about now, because this portion of Mario Party 2 was the ONE thing I did not show off in my original playthrough due to the fact that it gave me such a hard time off screen. But because I love you pimps so, so much, here it is!! Welcome to the first encore of Mario Party 2 and Mini-Game Coaster! Now today I am only covering Part 1 of the coaster, but in time, as encore progresses, I will be covering the rest of it as well. Don't worry, I'm not going to cut the show short and leave you hanging. Now, I'm not sure I will be updating Mini-Game Coaster every Sunday, as I'll probably want to change it up and stick a different encore games in there every once in a while, but I promise in time that it will be completed. Anyway, enjoy me nearly pulling my hair out (with love for you all of course). =P Thanks to all 1,000+ subscribers that made this possible!
3 months, 1 week, 6 days, and over 1,000 subscribers after originally posting the first video of this LP, I officially present the missed performance of Mario Party 2's Mini-Game Coaster. Enjoy. =]
If you would like to see the original let's play of this game, just click the link to part 1:

Title: Welcome Back To Beast Airline (encore concert teaser ) - Dujun
2010 Feb 18th~19th
BEAST ENCORE CONCERT - WELCOME BACK TO BEAST AIRLINE
With the yellow pages now gone the way of the dodo bird, the internet is the most important tool a wedding professional has. But making a website can be difficult, and a chore to update on a regular basis. I know first hand as I designed and built my website myself. However with the advent of the blog (shortened from it's original name, web log) anybody with a computer can update a website and keep people informed.
So the question I want brides and grooms to ask themselves is this - why don't certain wedding vendors ever update their blog?
This is an important question for a couple to ask when considering hiring their wedding professionals. And it doesn't matter what kind of vendor it is. Every vendor should have a blog that is updated on a regular basis to show off their new work. At KSV we are always posting new work because we are proud of the videos we make and continuously make efforts to learn new techniques to improve them. So why don't some videographers, photographers, florists, or planners want to show off their latest work? I think the answer is simple.
They don't have any.
If you ask them I'm sure they will make up some kind of excuse. "I'm too busy to write a blog post". Yeah, okay. I believe that one. Writing a couple sentences doesn't take whole heck of a lot of time. And I don't know of any professionals that aren't proud of their latest work and would stay up late at night to show off their work.
So either they haven't done any good work lately, or they simply haven't done any work at all lately - in which case you have to ask yourself, "How good are these vendors if nobody is booking them?"
So when considering your wedding professionals use their blog as a gauge to see just how much work they really have and to see their latest work instead of something they were proud of from three years ago.
