Every so often, someone asks me what music have I been listening to. I try to always have a mix of the new and the old. Here are some tunes I have been playing a lot lately:

"Gangsters and Thugs", Transplants
"Don't Phunk With My Heart", Black Eyed Peas
"She Doesn't Laugh At My Jokes", Jonathan Richman
"Love In a Trashcan", The Raveonettes
"Stranded in the Jungle", The New York Dolls
"Golden Years", David Bowie
"Feel Good Inc.", Gorillaz
"All the Way to Memphis", Mott the Hoople
"L.S.F.", Kasabian
"Fight the Power", The Isley Brothers
"Pot 205", Dash Rip Rock
"Don't Touch Me There", The Tubes
"Cannonball", The Breeders
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love", Dwight Yoakam
"The Beat Goes On", Sonny and Cher
"Smile Like You Mean It", The Killers
"I Predict a Riot", Kaiser Chiefs
"The Ballad of John and Yoko", The Beatles
"Los Angeles", X
"I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass", Nick Lowe

If you haven't heard these lately, give 'em a spin.

Meal of Links

Priness Diana allegedly slept with John F. Kennedy, Joon-ya. Of course, it's a new book which probably no one would mention if not for that nugget.

A look back at Live Aid and a list of who's playing Live 8. Aha might be this year's Billy Ocean.

Add the BTK Killer to the list of nutbags.

Exercise Yard

Cavs sign Danny Ferry as GM. Not a bad move. He's got a clean slate and has been around the league for a long time. We could have done worse.
