Kanye West and Tears For Fears WTF?

// December 11th, 2008 // 1 Comment » // Thoughts

The other day I bought the new Kanye West album (Thanks AmazonMP3) and before the play button was pressed I sorted out the files to fit into the system I have made for my 6k+ song collection.

The information for each song passed by and one struck me…the song “Coldest Winter” composed by…Roland Orazbal. What? As soon as the track started playing the whole thing was clear. Kanye’s song was based on “Memories Fade”.

I have long history with Tears for Fears, and have been the butt of a few jokes because of it. Listened to them growing up about 10 years after everyone else did. Another example of their work seeing a lot of success even today. Check out the Kanye version and their version below.

Chiefs Sales Guy: “Long list of people who will Buy As Soon As Herm And Carl Are No Longer Here.”

A message board community for Chiefs fans had a great thread showing a conversation between someone working in sales at the Chiefs (poor guy) and a potential ticket buyer.

The Chiefs fan got an e-mail talking about how there were still tickets left for the two remaining home games this year and that this was a good time to reserve season tickets for next year. He replied that he should be put down for tickets when Herm and Carl are fired…the sales person said verbatim “I have a long list of people who will buy as soon as Herm and Carl are no longer here.”

This is where we are right now with the Chiefs. Pretty amazing. Source info via Chiefs Planet. Feel free to check out the actual e-mail conversation (with the names changed to protect the innocent) after the jump.
