Rather, it is a show about opening up the lines of communication between parents and their children about sex. This is very important to the show's host and therapist Dr. Drew.

SENIOR prom hair. Yeah, a perfect punchline, I know. Actually, before I get the heart of this blog post, let's talk a little about prom hair. Personally, I prefer untampered hair on ladies, or lightly tampered.

I'm going to try and do two posts this month, but even if I don't, this should more than suffice. I invite you to check out all of the Look Around You series, it's some seriously genius stuff.

Actually, since the 50's, rockabilly has never really been cool. Revivalists the Flat Duo Jets (who rule) have recently gotten some coverage due to Jack White's recommendation, but they haven't been a band for a decade. When the most visible band in a genre is a retro group that's already broken up, you're Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11353408337780470230noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952349442118855363.post-19806823310609526672008-07-29T12:37:00.003-04:002008-07-30T16:25:28.441-04:00NuFolk: Cheers and JeersThere's a lot of "static" about the whole "freak folk" and "new folk" phenomenon that all the kids are into because they're too sleepy for a rock revival. We barely tried with that whole rock revival business, really half-assed it, guys.More often than not, folk music is an excuse to give a lady the sleepy-eyes, as opposed to making engaging music.

Take advantage of it. There should be a little gray rectangle somewhere on the left side of your computer screen, that's the totally rad embedded streaming mp3 player.

How are you, Luke?I'm pretty alright. I'm going to take on the fairly massive subject of John Cale, one of my favorite, overlooked artists. I would write something like "CRIMINALLY OVERLOOKED!", but he's pretty nicely overlooked, cause his stuff is widely available and then you get to feel like you're discovering something.
