OK, I need some help. I am looking for some new music. There are millions of artists out there and the past few nights I’ve been staying up to the wee morning hours browsing through I-Tunes trying to find something striking.

I found Sufjan’s words particularly insightful and beautiful.

Guess we’ll be calling the Head Honcho tomorrow to see what his latest story will be… Meanwhile, I was listening to a favorite group that I hadn’t listened to in a while earlier tonight. One of their songs…

If you like Havalina (aka Havalina Rail Co.) and I do, you can download one of their entire albums for free online. It’s called Russian Lullabies. It’s out of print, so I was pretty stoked to happen upon it while looking at their website the other day. Everybody polka, everybody polka, everybody body polka–footloose!

I just watched this movie again to verify whether or not it was as bad as I remembered it. Excluding the cool fights with Darth Maul, I think I gave the movie a higher (last place) ranking than I probably should have. Here are five honorary Star Wars features that were 1.) better than the…

Just when I was starting to get worried, the Red Sox shellac the Yanks again!
