Maybe it’s because I grew up listening to The Beatles every day, but I feel like Jesse McCartney – no relation to Paul McCartney – is getting a free ride because of his last name. If he had started performing under the last name Smith or Jones, would he be as famous?
What’s worse, his 2008 album Departure features a song titled “How Do You Sleep?” which is also the title of a John Lennon song about Paul McCartney!
If Jesse McCartney names his next album Let It Be, I’m going to start performing under the name Rob Ono. Two can play at this game.
“Learn” is one of my favorite video game songs. It’s from Tetrisphere, which was released in August 1997 for the Nintendo 64 and was composed by Neil Voss at H2O Entertainment.
I’m generally not a fan of techno or electronic dance music, but I am a fan of interesting, well-written, well-produced music. “Learn” fits that description, with its relaxing synth pads, filtered drum samples, reversed cymbals, booming bass drum, and simple, catchy melody.
To anyone who believes the Nintendo 64 or video game cartridges in general can’t produce high-quality music, this audio clip will change your mind:

Kudos to Neil Voss! Tetrisphere, along with Killer Instinct Gold, Star Fox 64, and Goldeneye 007, showed off the N64′s real-time audio capabilities during it’s first year on the market. They were also a lot of fun!
