Sometimes they just let you sit for the whole day doing nothing. Sure Facebook helps. And so does MSN. Still, I miss my music collection.

Thanks to Imeem: Not only I could listen the song I have in my desktop but also tap to one of the largest music library on the internet… free of charge (legally). Just like any web 2.0 project, it is Imeem’s users that actually upload the music to Imeem. Remarkable indeed.

And yes… it is legal as Imeem has made some kind of pact with WMG.

I am incredibly happy to report that we have reached a deal with Warner Music Group that allows us to stream the full length versions of Warner music and video to imeem members in the United States.

While the legality of listening to imeem is not exactly covering members in this little island, I am sure it does not matter so much in this age of internet. At least people like me who are not really included in the deal can have some sort of a piece of mind, knowing that the artist will be paid somehow.

We at IMEEM are doing our best to build a cool website that’s fun for you as well as makes sure artists GET PAID. I hope you guys are all as excited as I am to have this great content up on the site.

Full article can be seen here

As I could get access to many (literally many many many) music files using Imeem, I started this hobby: creating playlist which is super easy since I do not need to upload anything. My playlists contain mostly songs that I love to hear… with few exceptions. My playlist can be found here.

After few googling, I figure out from Wikipedia that I Love the World is an advertising campaign launched by Discovery Channel this year (must be recently) in promotion of their new tagline: “The World is Just… Awesome”. Makes me smile everytime I hear its distinctive “boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda”. Indeed, despite all the conflicts, ugly polictics, disasters, diseases, etc… our world is just simply AWESOME.

I must admit, Discovery channel has market itself well this time. I love it so much. And the way Hawking says“boom-de-yadda” is simply wow.

You can see the ‘live’ version here, download the mp3 here. And if you happens to have portable video player, consider downloading the video (mp4) here. The links I have just given you are legal. The lyric is below.

It never gets old, huh?
Nope.
It kinda makes you want to…
Break into song?
Yep.

I love the mountains,
I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges
I love when great whites fly
I love the whole world

And all its sights and sounds

Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda
Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda

I love the oceans
I love real dirty things
I love to go fast
I love Egyptian kings
I love the whole world

And all its craziness

Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda
Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda

I love tornadoes
I love arachnids
I love hot magma
I love the giant squids
I love the whole world,

it’s such a brilliant place

Boom-de-yadda, boom-de-yadda
Boom-de-yadda…

Wondering if I should make the Indonesian version…

I love the country,
I love the es cendol
I love ayam penyet sambal
I love when mie tek tek comes
I love the whole country

hmmm…
