Following in a Chap Hop theme, steampunk and tea enthusiast Professor Elemental hails from jolly old England.

Professor Elemental


Although he lacks the granddad’s mustache and banjolele that fellow chap hopper Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer has acquired as a trademark his skills on the mic and dashing steampunk attire are simply… well… splendid! The track that I included below is from his studio album The Indifference Engine, titled “Fighting Trousers”. I know what you’re thinking… what an aggressive song title! Well there is a feud behind the track, you know hip hop can be brutal. More information follows after the break.

VIDEO: Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer, “Chap-Hop History”

I was introduced to a new genre of hip-hop recently. It hails from the UK, a prim and proper type of music known as Chap Hop.

Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer


Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer is a leading face in chap hop. I included a video below featuring a track from his debut LP, Flattery Not Included, titled “Chap-Hop History”. It is a five minute opus detailing thirty years of hip hop history, referencing well known tracks of the genre from “Rapper’s Delight” to “My Name Is”. Mr. B can be heard on MC Frontalot‘s new album Zero Day, armed with his trademark banjolele on the track “Better at Rapping”. He also released a newer album of his own in 2010 called I Say! as well as one last year by the name of O.G. Original Gentleman.

We have finally arrived… the doomed year of 2012. If you’re a follower of the ancient Mayan calendar and a nutcase, you had better sell all of your belongings. The end is nigh!

Explosion!


2011 has had its ups and downs. Literally… YSLAR has been pretty sporadically up and down all year. Hehe. I am currently on a post-Christmas vacation of sorts in Alabama visiting family. Things will soon kick back into gear on the site once I return home. In the mean time, check out some older posts. I ended the year with some Korean girls, check out “Gee”.

VIDEO: Girls’ Generation, “Gee”

So I’ve recently developed an attraction to Korean girl bands, namely Girls’ Generation. These ladies are also known to international fans as SNSD, SoShi, and Sonyeo Shidae in their native Korean language.

Girls Generation


The nine piece has recorded pop hits in both Korea as well as Japan. They are currently promoting their newest single “The Boys”. This video, however, is an older one from 2009. “Gee” is an incredibly catchy tune that will get stuck in your head… even if you can’t understand a word they are saying! They are currently on top as far as girl bands in Korea are concerned. I included the music video for Gee as well as an alternate version that you simply have to watch.

So I haven’t been able to share a lot of Christmas music on here this season. There are a pretty decent amount of holly jolly tracks in the site’s archives, however.

Our Christmas tree


See, I figure you can fit more presents underneath an upside down Christmas tree. This is me thinking logically (greedily?) here. The pimp hat tree topper is just for fun however. December is always the busiest month for You Sound Like A Robot as far as traffic. Apparently you people love holiday music… but only one month of the year. I suppose that is understandable. Below are links to five of my most popular holiday themed posts from Christmases passed.

The new album from hip hop duo Mirandom drops on Tuesday, December 20. Mirandom is the combination of styling from Random, also known as MegaRan, and Mr. Miranda.

Mr. Miranda and Random


Those fortunate enough to catch the tour in Japan over the last week may already have a copy of The Memorandum. The rest of us can still grab one on Bandcamp when it comes out. In the mean time, however, check out this full stream through the weekend. Watch the video for the first single on the album after the break. It is titled “Wednesday” and hits pretty close to home as someone who works in retail.

So do you want to hear a new Christmas song? Like… an actual original song that we haven’t been hearing for sixty years every December (and November lately, ugh)? Well The Crüxshadows have delivered a new song not to be missed. I know, it’s exciting.

Rogue and Anmi working in the studio


“Anmi’s Christmas (Red, Green, Silver, & Gold)” is an original track dedicated to the most recent addition to The Crüxshadows’ family. Angelina, known as Anmi for short, is Rogue and Jessica’s new baby. She is pretty great. I had the chance to see her along with the band at Dragon*Con. Rogue posted a long news entry on The Crüxshadows.com with tons of new information, ending with a link to download the new Christmas track. You can check it out after the break or head over there to read all about what’s new with the band.

So it seems that everything is up the way it should be on the website now. If you notice any errors, please leave a comment or send me an e-mail to let me know! Otherwise, I’m a happy cat.

A very happy cat.


Apparently all I had to do was post about the issues. The next day everything was back up with the server! Things should also move a bit faster with the downloads after these upgrades. No hate toward FileDen, I have been using them for years. Sometimes things just take a while. I don’t know.

YSLAR: Apologize For The Inconvenience, But…

Most of You Sound Like A Robot’s mp3 files have been unavailable for about two weeks now. Well, the file host that I use to host these files has been down for maintenance. Only mp3 files should be affected.

No Music Allowed! Photo by marcel_rulz


The home page of FileDen has shown a message stating that the site will be down for 4-7 days, although most members will regain access to their accounts in 24-48 hours. It has been half of a month without any updates on the home page. I’ve seen that others are having issues as well. It makes me wonder if they actually lost the files and are afraid to admit it! No worry, I have backups of everything just in case.

Please be patient! I have uploaded some of the more popular files to another service, Christmas posts such as the Star Wars holiday album Christmas in the Stars and the Lou Monte classic “Dominick the Donkey”.
