I-5: FreddeGredde

Warning: Video Overload!!



Probably the first time I've ever opened an entry with a video. If you frequent the internet, then there is a good chance that you have run into the video above ^^. Watch out for some inappropriate content though.

The artist responsible is one man from Sweden who goes under the moniker of FreddeGredde and has me hooked with his versatile guitar playing and unique voice. Every time I visit youtube, I eagerly await the newest video and the eventual free download that is usually included. The videos are well put together and often very entertaining. Most of the videos are medleys like the one above but they change topics per video. For instance, a medley of all sorts of TV Theme songs...



Or a medley of Cartoon Themes... (Including some in foreign languages!)



And a couple for video games including a multiple game medley, one specifically for Mega Man 9, and one for Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. They are all great but I chose the Zelda one for the sheer awesomeness and the use of so many instruments perfectly...



The medleys are a lot of fun (especially to try to get friends to guess the appropriate songs) but there is more. Fredde is working on a full length album currently and there are a couple of original tracks on his page as well. The Wayfarer is a short acoustic track, Vampire Bride is great (but laden with Twilight references...), and Beside Me is a truly unique rock song. These tracks do not have free mp3s but can be found on iTunes and are easily worth the 99 cents.



As I said above, most of the tracks are available for free in links in the details for the videos. Normally sites like these should be avoided but he posted them himself so no problem. There might be errors for some people but the files are there and correct, just keep trying. I-5 week has finally come to a close. What should I do next?

TV, Commercial, and Game Music

To make up for only having one song in my last update, I'm going BIG! I know a lot of people spend a lot of time and money looking for songs from TV shows or videogames (myself included) and often end up disappointed with the results. Thanks to TelevisionTunes.com you may never have to go anywhere else!! The site contains just about every theme song you can think of and a ton of movie themes and songs within shows as well. Most of the music is ripped so the quality can be spotty but most are well up to par. None of the content is professional so if you want the best quality, track down a real cd that has what you are looking for.

And to sweeten the deal, several sister sites have been made including Video Game music (http://gamethemesongs.com/), Commercials (http://tvadsongs.com/), Sport Themes (http://footballfightmusic.com/), and every ridiculous quote ever said by Robin in the old 1960s Batman TV Show (http://holysmokesbatman.com/.) Do note that these are all rips and not the originals!!! Enjoy!
