Hey World! Welcome to Mine

Retailers giving vinyl records another spin
Upcoming Releases:
Coldplay - Viva la Vida (6.17)

David A. is the better “American Idol”. David C. should have a more successful musical career.
American Idol is one big advertisement. Ford, AT&T, Coke, Seal’s new album, Donna Summer’s new album, Mike Myer’s new movie…this is ridiculous.
I love Edward Norton - Can’t wait for The Incredible Hulk even though previous attempts have been […]

Oh what depth of love

Woman opens heart to man who slaughtered her family
This is an absolutely incredible story of love and forgiveness. I just can’t even begin to imagine.

Many of you have probably heard the first single from Death Cab for Cutie’s new release (Narrow Stairs) on the radio. And like me, you probably enjoyed it.

Apologies to RSS Users

My apologies to you if you use RSS to read my blog. I just upgraded my version of wordpress and in the process merged a couple of databases with old blog posts. Soo…if you now see a bunch of old, unread posts in your feed you can just mark them as read and […]

Turning off the Idiot Box

This is going to be a great, relaxing weekend. I spent 4 hours tonight at Waterloo, Cheapo and Barnes & Noble. Get excited about reading some Nick Hornby and C.S. Lewis and listening to Ella & Duke at The Cote D’Azur
