This is one of those winter patterns of snow...shovel...go to work...snow...shovel, wake up and start it all over again. But it was actually warmer today or less wind or something.

But, like I said, it'll start again tomorrow.

Thinking of buying something in 2010? Consult this chart.

Now there are sportswriters all over the tube as many have made the complete shift over to TV. But many years ago, Bill Gleason may have been the first and he died over the weekend. When that show hit SportsChannel locally, I was hooked from the start.

There is a tribute album for David Bowie. A typically wide-ranging assortment of bands and tunes.

Slate cranks up the Movie Club. Roger Ebert along for the ride.

The business side of Gordon Ramsay. I swear he must own BBC America, because "Kitchen Nightmares" seems to be on all the time.

"Family Guy" disses Fox and promotes itself on Adult Swim. I'm not sure how they get away with that, but there it is.

It was 30 years ago today. The release of "London Calling" by The Clash. I think I have every Clash record on vinyl, including the rare "Black Market Clash" EP.

21 songs about hating radio. "You had better do as you are told. You better listen to the radio." Great list as we get visits from Rush, Springsteen, The Smiths with "Panic" (an awesome sing-along), The Dead Kennedys, Ramones, Steely Dan and The Kinks ("Around the Dial", a terrific tune), amongst others.

All about the Misery Tenor. And why he won't be singing at any Yankee games anymore.

Exercise Yard

Mike Holmgren showed up in town today. Tom Heckert interviews tomorrow for GM. And here's why Marty Mornhinweg will be the next Browns coach.

You know, the guy who as OC ran the ball 10 times against the Cowboys last week.
