Visual charts

Everyone knows I keep my own music charts, my bizarre hobby I’ve done ever since I was a kid.  I used to think I was the only one who did it, until I found a friend who did the exact same thing.  Pretty awesome.  We meet up every so often to compare charts, and they are always pretty exciting, usually resulting in us both finding out new music one of the other didn’t know existed.  My whole reasoning for starting to do this when I was little was I was sick of songs I hated in the charts, so I made my own to keep my satisfied.  Strange how it works. 

I’m all excited today because I’m finally making a transition from written charts to video ones.  It’s pretty hard to do though, because a lot of the songs that are in my chart don’t even have videos, so to do this properly, I’d have to just have an image or something and dub music over it, sort of like RAGE does when an artist doesn’t have a video for a song they’ve released – oh wait, RAGE don’t even do that, they just announce the position.  It sucks they don’t do the countdown anymore, I used to wake up really early every weekend as a child so that I could watch that.  I’d still do it today if I could!

It’s gunna take a lot of editting and stuff, and I’ll show my finished product when I’m done.  I’ve found a lot of the videos, but a lot i haven’t and can’t even find audio for, so they won’t be genuine charts when I’m done

Anyone who’s interested can see my written chart (with Youtube links to the videos – if they still work lol) at http://www.opendiary.com/mattstop100.  I think it’s probably a few weeks outdated but usually I’m pretty good with putting them up 🙂  And at least the website is my actual chart – this new version may not be, but I’ll try.

I’m just excited about trying out this way of doing it.  Would help if I knew how to edit properly, but the software for some programs makes it so much easier these days.  Will just have to see how I go.  I’m working too much the next few days, but I’ve done well today.  Need to sleep soon though!

I heard Stosur was a shocker in the french open final, just from facebook updates – haven’t seen any news yet.  Guess I’m kinda glad I was at work and couldn’t watch it huh?
