Posted on July 30, 2012 by Steve

The Irish chanteuse gets a nod this year because she finally released an album of original stuff in 2011. Fifty Words for Snow wasn’t exactly great but it certainly beat out the alternatives her peers have gone with…covers or “re-imaginging” their … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday to Kate!

Posted on July 30, 2012 by Steve

I’m surrounded by female Leos! Maybe Christina and Kate are bookends? Wasn’t there a show on PBS called Between the Lions? I’m too lazy today to search via Google and Bing to find out, surely somebody with small children knows … Continue reading →

Thunder…thunder…Thundercats shooooooooes!

Posted on July 21, 2012 by Steve

My Summer of 2012 additions to the Chucks collection. I’m a bigger design fan than I am of the show; it was new when I was in high school, hence my nostalgia “gap.” I do have to trade them for … Continue reading →
