*Butch Vig turns 54. Producer of such amazing works as Nirvana's "Nevermind" and Foo Fighters "Wasting Light" and drummer for the awesome band Garbage.

*Lee Mavers turns 49. He is the guitarist and vocalist for the now defunct English band, The La's. You may think you don't know that band, but I bet you do. Just listen to this track.



*The #1 single today in 1986 was "Glory of Love" by Peter Cetera from the Karate Kid II soundtrack. Man, I remember that summer and how popular that movie was and I loved this song. Now, I have to admit that his voice kinda wears on me, but it still sparks nostalgia nonetheless. Click here to watch the video on YouTube if you wanna.

On August 1, 1981, at 12:01 a.m., MTV launched.



The first video was by The Buggles called "Video Killed the Radio Star". (Edit: such a shame there is very little music left on MTV today.)



In response to the above video and my comment, I leave this here for you, because it is true:

Further Proof Dave Grohl is Awesome!

Soundgarden played in L.A. Friday, July 22nd. Dave Grohl was in attendance and rather than chose the VIP side-stage way of watching one of his favorite bands, he got right in the mix of the crowd and rocked it out. Bad ass, Mr. Grohl! Heck yes!

See How a Guitar Being Played from Inside the Guitar Looks - RAD!

Via GIZMODO website:

Kyle Jones, a guitarist, had the clever idea of recording himself playing guitar from inside his guitar. He didn't expect to see the guitar strings turn into wacky, wavy and shapely lines. It's crazy. And it's thanks to the iPhone.

Like when the iPhone's camera captured floating blades of an airplane propeller, these crazy shapes that the guitar string seemingly takes on is caused by the rolling shutter effect of the iPhone's camera (when digital camera's take a picture they actually scan over a frame either vertically or horizontally. Basically, not all parts of an image are recorded at exactly same time and some parts are left playing catch up.)

Check out the squares and circles of his guitar strings (of course, it's not really like that) on the video above.
