Rock out with your iPhone out
Have an iPhone? Who doesn’t right? But if you happen to be one of these unfortunate wretched souls walking around with a “cell phone” then stop what you are doing now and go get one. If you can’t afford one then you should give up hope, because right now is as good as it will probably get for you. Remember there is no “I” in team but there is in iPhone and that’s what
makes it the best thing ever invented….but I digress.
There is a new application that is taking the iPhone community by storm. It’s called “Ocarina” and it is being touted as the first true instrument created for the iPhone. It is sensitive to your breath, movement and of course, touch. If you are one of the millions of people who played the Legend of Zelda for Nintendo as a kid and wished you too could play the fantastical instrument that gave us their incredible music, look no further. You’re dream has been fulfilled with Ocarina.
Now you can play the theme song from Zelda for all your friends while they laugh at you for being such a nerd. Who wants to play classic 80’s game theme’s on a recorder when you can play 80’s washed up rock songs on a plastic guitar.
The Ocarina is also good for those of us who have a deep rooted passion for music, but were never quite able to (::ahem::) get a hang of the electric guitar, the drums, keyboards, the bass…well, you get where I’m going with this. I don’t really have to explain the joke do I? I know this is Midwestern Gothic and no one is going to read this anyways, so Matt and Rob, you guys get it right? Jeff? No, well I think that stems back from not learning you’re multiplication tables till 11th grade.
Ok, moving on. So you can’t fulfill your dream of rock stardom the usual way yet you fantasize of being a part of a great classic rock song. Again, you’re dream has come true, thanks to Ocarina. Now you too can play the flute/recorder part on Stairway to Heaven and no one will remember your name like we never cared about the people who recorded the flute/recorder part on the original. The only difference between them and you is that they were paid by Led Zeppelin to play and you paid iTunes to play.
