Queen: Bicycle Race
I have a love – hate relationship with France.
The French in general are a most unhappy, unapologetic and miserable breed of person. Evidenced by their recent demise at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, or their catalog of general work-strikes on an all too often a basis. Their transportation and public restrooms have the [...]
Invites to Rdio to give away! The Clash: This is Radio Clash
I was recently introduced to a cool new social-music service, Rdio (pronounced ar-dee-o). A worthy shout out to Matt at songspeak.com! This is the best music option I have come across post-lala – the past few weeks I have switched between Grooveshark and Last.fm, but have been frustrated by both services. Grooveshark [...]

Paul McCartney of The [...]

And so let the March Madness begin. Do you have a bracket filled in for the NCAA Basketball Tournament? Is it as busted as mine is this morning? Fear not, your woes can be forgotten, because I have another Madness to present to you! Baggy Trousers is a 1980 song performed [...]
