Chatroulette Bingo/Drinking Game
Only around a few months, Chatroulette has taken the web by storm. While the appeal of the face-to-face video chat is that you never know who you are going to be connected to, there are a few typical users that you are bound to run into if you spend any time on the site. Looking to take things to another level, the Holy Taco blog has put together a hybrid bingo/drinking game that should keep you extra entertained as you jump from person to person on Chatroulette. Although you can play this alone, fire up your laptop the next time people are over and your parties will never be the same.
Five Best Music Streaming Services
The web has obviously revolutionized how we listen to, seek out and purchase music. While much of the music industry is still clinging to the old way of doing things (hoping that what is happening is just a dream), there are a few signs that we’re finally moving forward. With more digital content moving to an on-demand/in-the-clouds model, Lifehacker takes a look at the five best music-streaming services. From old-timers such as Pandora and Last.fm to newcomers such as Spotify, you’ll never have to complain about not having any new music ever again.
Quick Hits
MP3 of the Week: Greg MacPherson - First Class
It’s been five years since blue-collar singer/songwriter Greg MacPherson released Night Flares on G7 Welcoming Committee. With the label on hiatus, MacPherson has followed Propagandhi over to Smallman Records and is set to release Mr. Invitation on March 30. If First Class is any indication, the record has been worth the wait. MacPherson and his band will perform on April 10 at the West End Cultural Centre.
White Stripes: Under the Great Northern Lights
Filmed on its cross-Canada tour in 2007, Under the Great Northern Lights will finally be available in stores on March 16. More than just a typical concert DVD, the band also filmed a bunch of impromptu performances along the way. Locally, Jack and Meg White performed on Winnipeg Transit for a handful of savvy fans who headed down to The Forks to catch the duo. That footage is part of the DVD and trailer. The band is also encouraging people to hold screenings, and kits will be made available through its website to help you throw your own premiere.
Hot Chicks at Art Openings
Art + hot women = lots of web traffic and followers on Tumblr.
