VH1’s Top 100 Greatest Artists Of All-Time

A few weeks back, VH1’s Labor Day week­end spe­cial treat was to unveil their new Top 100 Great­est Artists of All-Time list. My hus­band and I watched in dis­may as all sorts of weird choices were revealed through­out the hours of the count­down. I mean, Def Lep­pard? N.W.A.?? L.L. Cool J??? Tupac and Big­gie???? Public …

Updates + WNHUs Playlist Updates for September 2010

To cel­e­brate the blog mark­ing its one-year mark this month, I looked back on those early entries and was greatly dis­mayed to find that many of the youtube.com videos I had linked to through­out the past 12 months have been taken down. The Video of the Day (and many video playlists I’ve cre­ated) have become …

Detroit 1–8-7: A New Show With A Great Soundtrack!

I love when the minds that make tele­vi­sion take time to remem­ber the great power of the sound­track. A good sound­track can make a bad show palat­able (NBC’s Chuck), and a great show per­fect (NBC’s Mercy). ABC’s new cop drama Detroit 1–8–7 is, of course, going to make it to my desk just because I …

Hiatus — Computer In The Shop!

Though it seems the online branch of Paste …

I’ve been work­ing on increas­ing func­tion­al­ity and web pres­ence for the blog by con­nect­ing it to …

Leave Of Absence — Wedding Time!

Sorry to say I’m tak­ing a 5 week hia­tus from the blog to get ready for my impend­ing, out-of-state nup­tials! Plan­ning a wed­ding in another state has left me too busy for the blog right now, but I have so many songs and artists to talk about that I just can’t wait to get back …
