Hey Soul Sister I just wanted to cover this song because it's awesome. That's about it. It's by Train. Go listen to them all night long. No really. Oh I also made this using only random things I found in my room. Pillows count as instruments right? This was probably one of my most fun-to-film music videos I've...

Improv Chatroulette Here's the original in all it's glory... or lack thereof.  This video went viral in March of 2010, featured on several websites including College Humor, Mashable, and Today's Big Thing.  The premise is that I sing a song to random people I meet on a website called Chatroulette.  While less popular...

Improv Chatroulette 2 The sequel to my somehow insanely popular Improv Chatroulette, this video contains more autotune craziness.  People say I have a big head in this video, actually my head is pretty big.  Again I cannot recommend the site Chatroulette for anyone who isn't a pedophile...

I Cleaned The Place Up

Category : Life

Yep if you’re reading this then congratulations, you can read!  Oh you might notice that I also changed the blog drastically, and made almost all of my old content private.  I did it for several reasons but as I think that the music still speaks for itself.  After all, this website began as a place to share my music many years ago.  Anyway I decided that we need a fresh start here and that’s today.  Something big is coming, although it might be far in the future.  I can’t tell you what it is just yet but just so you know, it’s not album three.  I’m also working on that, but this blog is going to host a new feature that I think people will enjoy much more.  Hold your horses though, because as I previously stated, you shouldn’t expect anything for at least a year.  Trust me though, it’s going to be pretty awesome.  The type of thing you lay staring at the clouds thinking about… maybe.

I hope that you don’t miss my old posts too much, because as I privatized and took them down I looked through each and everyone of them.  They’re magnificent pieces of my history.  That being said, I don’t feel the need to have such a public life.  Don’t worry, I left many of my songs here for your enjoyment.  I’m hard at work on this “big surprise” coming to AlexRoda.com so expect more news as soon as I can get everything ready.  Sorry for being pretty vague!

The point is that I’m still here and I’ll still be blogging, occasionally.  If I took any features away that you want back feel free to leave a comment, and I look forward to revealing more of the changes coming soon!

Love you all!

Oh I also made this using only random things I found in my room. Pillows count as instruments right? This was probably one of my most fun-to-film music videos I’ve ever done. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed making it!!

Improv Chatroulette

Category : Life, Music

Here’s the original in all it’s glory… or lack thereof.  This video went viral in March of 2010, featured on several websites including College Humor, Mashable, and Today’s Big Thing.  The premise is that I sing a song to random people I meet on a website called Chatroulette.  While less popular now than it was when I recorded this, Chatroulette can be a dangerous site.  I really cannot recommend it to anyone who isn’t over 18 and prepared to see things they may not want to see.  You’ll get the idea from my song below.  Hope you like it!

The sequel to my somehow insanely popular Improv Chatroulette, this video contains more autotune craziness.  People say I have a big head in this video, actually my head is pretty big.  Again I cannot recommend the site Chatroulette for anyone who isn’t a pedophile… It’s kind of their hangout zone.  Anyway I hope this makes you laugh!

Epic Get On My Horse

I did another cover of a song you may recognize called “Get On My Horse”.  I’m not going to provide a link to the original because of it’s slight graphic nature, but know that it’s very catchy and still quite awesome.  I suppose you could Google it or something but perhaps later.  So here’s my acoustic, yet epic, cover.  Now shut up and listen.  Maybe comment afterwards.

I wonder if I should start doing cover Fridays.  Remember last week’s cover of Hallelujah?  I promise there will be an acoustic version of that coming pretty soon as well but I just couldn’t resist Get On My Horse cause well, you know, it’s amazing.

Maybe I should work on my comedy album once in awhile instead of covers, but come on that was way too much fun :-D
