An Anthem for 2010
Earlier this week, Vancouver’s 2010 Olympic mascots were revealed. You can see and hear the mascots through this microsite.
Each mascot will say their (his? her?) name aloud when you mouse over the text of their name. When I heard Sumi say his or her name, I heard something of a mid-nineties rave in it. Just a hint, really.
I spent an hour with GarageBand, and produced 67 seconds of pure Olympic magic. To play the song, just click the icon in the box below:
I know it’s really awful, but I had tremendous fun making it. GarageBand rocks out. As it were.

Oh my gosh you HAVE to copyright that! It’s brilliant, although you need more MIGA!

That is awesome.
On the website, you can also take a quiz to find out which mascot you’re most like.
I’m Sumi.

bz: Actually, it’s just that I couldn’t be arsed to carefully edit the samples so that they fit the cadence of the, uh, back beat.

It was a slow news day.
