[...] I got caught in the latest round of blog tag, Christopher Penn was kind enough to pass the baton to me on this game. [...]
Whit, at this rate, I’ll be hiring you
Michael – Murder of One actually was a breakup song for me years ago in college. I literally listened to it for 24 hours straight one spring day in 1997…
Breaking Up:
Murder of One – Counting Crows
Great pick. LOL.
I’m Michael From Ontario, Canada and I’ve been a Crows fan from the start.
My shiny new 30 Gig iPod is quite inspirational. Something about having the entire catalogues of my favourite artists at my fingertips just makes me want write.

This is great- Chris Brogan tagged Megin who tagged everyone else over at GNM Parents. I have to say, it was hysterically funny and spooky what came up at random.
BTW- I was in a store today, and two workers were talking about working to try to save money to pay for college…and of course, what did I do- told them they needed to go listen to the Financial Aid Podcast. I am a walking advertisement for you, Chris!

Nothing beats “Morning Bell” for the first day of school.

Hey Paige, have you ever seen the video for Exhibit 13? It’s a profound and disturbing piece. It’s on the Complex DVD of their tour.
Rods and Cones by Blue Man Group for falling in love is HILARIOUS. I don’t know, it just really struck me as funny.
Great mix of tunes. It’s always interesting to see the random tunes that come up from the bottom of one’s music collection.
