not even a need to explain at this point, really… “nightingale” – norah jones “don’t let me get me” – pink “candy” – bouncing souls “everywhere” – michelle branch “you’re just never satisfied” – fountains of wayne “nosering girl” – nerf herder “long way back home” – barenaked ladies “just one kiss” – violent femmes […]

I wisely haven’t told me kids about this yet…I don’t think their teachers would appreciate it (they both […]

My last post ended singing the praises of the live-action Japanese Spider-Man tv show. I believe I mentioned the machine gun guitar cowboy? And didn’t post a link to this wonder of 70s television? Well, click here. With that bit of business out of the way… Not sure how I feel about the week…when I […]

yeah, with one or two exceptions, this week’s been the perfect storm of crappiness…at least my random ten doesn’t completely suck: “personal jesus” – johnny cash “wampum prayer” – tori amos “dirty eyes (sex don’t sell)” – ravionettes “go” – the replacements “head over heels” – the go gos “soak up the sun” – sheryl […]
