I love the Foo Fighters. Here is one of the most touching acceptance speech in Grammys. If you make music or has been listening to music pretty much growing up, you have to hear this speech.
Transcription:
This is a great honor, because this record was a special record for our band.
Rather than go to the best studio in the world down the street in Hollywood and rather than use all of the fanciest computers that we can buy, we made this one in my garage with some microphones and a tape machine. And we couldn't have done it without the best producer in the world, Mr. Butch Vig. I haven't worked with Butch Vig in twenty years. We meet each other twenty years ago when we made a Nirvana record and it was an honor to work with you again (looking at Butch Vig) We have a lot of people to thank...
To me this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of making music is what's most important. Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do.
"It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].

Freddiew: Youtube films
I discovered Freddie last year by chance last year and I'm glad I did. His videos on Youtube is by far the most professional film directed in my opinion. The awesome plots created, amazing editing, sound design and witty lines drew people in. I did a little research of his background and realized that he graduated from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. No wonder his stuff are pretty impressive. The props and equipment used are sick!
Freddie Wong and his friends came from Los Angeles. An interesting fact about him is that he is a professional Guitar Hero/Rock Band player.
Here are some videos that I think were pretty impressive.
Epic. Check his video channel out on Youtube.
