First off, I learned to play a few new songs last night by one of my favorite new artists Vampire Weekend. The songs: "A-Punk" and "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" are two of those songs that as soon as you hear them you'll only want to listen to them more. Which is why I suggest you listen to them now.
A-Punk
Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa
I think I am going to actually start doing some covers of some of my favorite songs, recording them, and making a little CD for my close friends and family. The biggest reason for doing this is just because its fun, but this also gives me an opportunity to get some practice with some audio recording and editing software. I don't know if this is something any of you guys are interested, but if you want you should comment on this post with some ideas of songs you think would be fun for me to learn and you'd like to hear me play. It doesn't matter if you don't know if I'd like the song or if it's too hard; I'll be the judge of that, you just make suggestions.
Concerning My Future in Media, I researched a little more about borrowing equipment like cameras and lights and I found out its really easy to do through Student Multimedia Services a floor below me in the library. Also editing software is on the computers in the Milne Computing Lab across the quad and I'll be able to use that too. I'm planning on starting some projects soon with my partner in crime (and by crime I mean film) Brian and we might even be able to do a TV show for KBVR.
KBVR is the university radio and TV station and I talked to the head student worker at the station today and he explained that it's really easy to join the team. I am going to a meeting tomorrow to learn about becoming a DJ, which is something I've wanted to do for a long time now.
Ta ta for now!

If you're talking guitar covers, how about 1) Stairway to Heaven, 2) The Thrill is Gone, and 3) While my guitar gently weeps?
Nice to hear things are progressing on the media front. Who knows, someday (soon?) I may be reviewing movies you made!
Kev, what about redemption song by the proverbial BOB. I would like to hear your covers when you get a cd made. It sounds like you are really exploring some cool stuff in media. see you this weekend
