Just give this guy some speakers, a decent light show, and a few thousand sweaty twenty-somethings and you’ve got yourself one hell of a concert.
I wish I could’ve been this good at playing my toys back in the 80s.

SoundCloud Unveils the Dropometer to Ruin Every Dubstep Song You Know
In one of my favorite internet-related April Fools jokes of the day, SoundCloud has just introduced the Dropometer (trademarked, of course).
The Dropometer is simple, but oh so very useful. All it does is tell you the exact point in a dubstep song at which you can expect the drop.
“The drop in a track can be unpredictable and surprising. Some of you have even told us that you find it unsettling, not knowing when to expect that sense of overwhelming euphoria. Inspired by your feedback, we’ve invented the Dropometer. Using a unique algorithm (patent pending), the Dropometer is designed to help you prepare yourself for the big moment, whether that means getting in the mental space where you can really break it down, or fixing yourself a fortifying snack,” says SoundCloud.

While the Dropometer was created with dubstep in mind, you can find it on plenty of other songs from other styles of music. But you shouldn’t expect the “drop” in that Beatles song to blow your mind.
Some people over on the SoundCloud blog are kind of missing the point.
“I really don’t see the point of this…where’s the fun in ruining the surprise of a drop? writes one angry commenter.
“This is probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Ever. Just to be clear, you guys think we’re complete retards right? That’s the only way something like this can be even thought of,” says another.
It looks like some SoundCloud users forgot to check the date.

Dubstep Bird Is the Reason the Internet Exists
Drop the bass, WUB WUB WUB. This bird would be a pretty huge hit at the club. You could just mic it up and sit it on Skrillex’s shoulder. Somebody get on this, stat.
Other than the Vertical Video Syndrome, there’s really nothing not to like about this video. It’s a bird, singing dubstep. I’m pretty sure that the internet was created for things like this.
Still not sure if it beats the current and longstanding champion in this department, metal rooster. It’s pretty close though.

Annoyed Neighbor Audiotapes Sexy Time: Posts on Soundcloud
Reddit user melanieeritchie “had a friend” that was kept up all night by his neighbors having sex in the apartment next door. As retribution, he made an audio tape of the incident and posted it on Soundcloud. He then left this message on their door to let them know what he’d done.
Do not go to the address posted above, it has since been taken down. Right now it is posted by Soundcloud user nebber, follow this link to listen:
or HERE
Nothing special. It’s actually about as annoying as being kept up all night with that going on. What is funny is that the same guy made a dubstep remix of the track. Listen here:
Woman in apartment block – remix
Of all the annoying things about apartment living this has to be the worst. It’s good to see someone getting some sort of cathartic release from being forced to listen to a neighbor’s cathartic release.
He should have just done what this guy does when his neighbors’ go at it. He sets up challenges to amuse himself and viewers, all of which has to be done in the time it takes for the neighbors to finish.

Dubstep Tebow: All He Does Is Drop The Bass
I just downloaded the “#1 rated Tebow app in the App Store,” and after playing around with it for a bit I’ve determined that you should too.
Despite cringing upon hearing that there could be an entire category called “Tebow apps,” I have to say that I laughed pretty hard while tinkering with the new Dubstep Tebow app from Electric Green. It’s pretty simple, but the amount of possible musical configurations gives it some staying power – that is, of course, if neither Dubstep or Tebow fall from the public’s obsession. If you’ve watched ESPN or read a sports blog lately, you’re probably aware that the latter isn’t going to happen. My 18-year-old brother assures me that the other one won’t happen either.
As of right now, the app features 10 different dubstep beats, which you can enhance with 10 different bass effects. Once you get those going, you can sample one of fifteen Tebow-related sound clips. These include Tebow himself, saying things like “God Bless” and screaming “LET’S GO.” Tebow’s “let’s go” doesn’t feel as powerful as Lil Jon’s, however. Other clips include announcers and commentators, including ESPN’s Skip Bayless with his now-famous “All he does is win” quote.
Possibly the coolest feature comes when you tilt your device. The app will mess with the speed of the bass depending on the level of tilt to produce that “fat bass wobble” that we all
lovehateknow.The app, available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, will run you $0.99. They promise “bigger and better” updates in the near future.
One reviewer says, “I never thought I’d be making fat beats and listening to Tebow at the same time!”
Me neither, young Tebow fan, me neither.
