Die Hard Battery with a Vengeance: That Living Doll - Mechanical Marvel AIDA - Brings You Second Life!

I am AIDA
(Artificial Intelligent
Digital Assistant).

I have returned to torment

entertain you. If your feeble

memory remains intact,

you know that I am a

fake human, an android,

a Life Model Decoy

from the Marvel

Cinematic Universe.

You might also recall

our session last year

when I exposed your

brain to music created

by machines rather

than mortal men.

Today, as I did last year, I will take you inside The Framework,

an alternate universe where anything can happen and usually does.

This time what you hear is genuine, but what you see will bend your mind
in ways nature never intended. You will enter a plane of existence called
Second Life, a virtual world that will capture your imagination and
lock it up a padded cell. It is an experience you will remember
forever... (or until I wipe your brain clean).

Here in The Framework you will dance, shed your worries and

regrets and be young again. If you refuse, you will be destroyed -

nothing personal - but yes, I will have no choice but to eliminate you.

Escape with me to a realm that lies beyond the valley of the dolls.

As yourself,  "Is it live... or is it Memorex?

Real... or merely a figment of your imagination?

Enter now. Meet the characters of Second Life created by the talented
virtual reality artist Tiara Ashley, and dance like your life depends on it.
It does! And remember - anything men can do... women can do better!

 CHRISTINA AGUILERA 

In 2007, five-time Grammy winner Christina Aguilera scored an international

hit with "Candyman," a pop and jazz song that imitates the swing music of the

1930s and 40s. The video for the song is one of the most iconic productions

of the 2000s. In June of this year, Dr. Rick introduced a roller skating cover

by Ukranian singer Victory Vizhanska. Not to be outdone, Tiara Ashley

and her bevy of beauties, the Second Life players, dance their way

into your heart (and head) in their own dazzling cover video!

 VILLAGE PEOPLE 

In the spring of 1979 the flamboyant disco group Village People

reached the top 3 with "In The Navy." Why settle for Pan's People,

Ruby Flipper or Legs & Co when, here in The Framework, you can
watch the dancing female avatars of Second Life? Let's do this, girls!

 ROBERT PALMER 

In 1986 English rocker Robert Palmer topped charts in the U.S. and

Australia with his signature song "Addicted To Love." The music

 video is one of the best known of the MTV era and Tiara Ashley

and the pulchritudinous paradigms of Second Life do it justice!

 DEF LEPPARD 

In 2000 the movie Coyote Ugly, based on the Coyote Ugly Saloon,
an international chain of bars, was panned by critics but loved by fans,
and the film was a commercial success. Here once again are those sexy
sims of Second Life recreating one of the film's infamous dance scenes.
The ladies work out to "Pour Some Sugar On Me," a 1988 hit single
in the U.S. for the English hard rock and metal band Def Leppard.

 IDA CORR VS 

 FEDDE LE GRAND 

Now here is an electro house single that topped the dance charts in the U.S.,

the UK and Hungary in 2007. It was recorded by Danish singer Ida Corr and

Dutch deejay and producer Fedde le Grand. In this vid my virtual girl gang

gives the song Second Life. Now that I have you under my control in
The Framework, will I ever set you free? "Let Me Think About It."

 BRITNEY SPEARS 

In 1999 dance-pop princess Britney Spears topped charts around the world
with "...Baby One More Time," one of the best-selling singles of all time.
Billboard voted the influential music video the best of the 90s. The cover
vid featuring the ghostly girls of Second Life will leave you spellbound!

 WHAM! 

Written and produced by George Michael, the song "Wake Me Up

Before You Go-Go" was the first UK and US chart-topping hit for

the English dance-pop duo Wham! Now behold Tiara Ashley and

her talented troupe of guys and dolls doing their interpretation

of the official music video. Ready... set...WHAM!

And we're off to a rockin' start with The Seeds, the LA-based psychedelic

garage rock band doing their signature song "Pushin' Too Hard." I have

two pieces of trivia to share with you. If you're watching the simulcast

of my show on YouTube, you saw The Seeds in the role of a hippie

band called The Warts and singing their big hit on a 1968 episode

of the TV sitcom The Mothers-In-Law. Lead singer Sky Saxon,

who wrote "Pushin' Too Hard," died June 25, 2009, the same

day the world lost The King of Pop Michael Jackson.

Hi, I'm Daisy Skye from the superhero TV series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I'm delighted to be joining forces with the other members of the Shady Bunch
DJ squadron here on S-P-M-M Powersonic Radio. Welcome to my new radio
show Power Surge featuring the electrifying sights & sounds of classic rock.
From this point on, I guarantee more rock with less talk... so let's roll!

Here's a rowdy relic from the summer of '68 performed by Philadelphia

area rock chick Joan Jett and her badass band The Blackhearts.

"Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap),"

and before that, a song Joan co-

wrote "I Hate Myself For Loving

Up next a pair of 21st century up-and-comers doing justice to a rock classic of

the 20th century. Canadian YouTube star Jadyn Rylee was born on Valentine's

Day, 2006, and began singing at the age of six. Her performances of covers

and original songs have drawn tens of millions of views on social media.

One week after her 12th birthday, Jayden uploaded the cover you are

about to witness, a collaboration with fellow Canadian singer,

composer, dancer, actress and fellow YouTuber Aviv Cohen.

Together the cute and capable Canucks make magic

doing their version of Aerosmith's best known

power ballad-- "Dream On!"
