“Baby it’s cold outside” OR “Where there’s cold baby, there’s fire”

Pure:Dyne – Guitar Pedal Project

Continuing with my computer-based guitar pedal project I finally took the time to download and experiment with the Pure:Dyne liveCD, and it works like a champ. The one major obstacle was converting it from a bootable CD to a bootable USB stick (not as slick as backtrack, but still pretty painless).

Update: I’ve just order these bad boys, and hopefully they will arrive before my parents — Smith Family Karaoke, AWWWW, [...]

Miles’ Jazzy, Crown Royal Chugging, triangle

So recently the I’ve been trying to identify the music in this commercial and it’s eating my brain:

Oddly enough, during my search I’ve come across this Sesame Street …with the same soundtrack:
