Posted in music on August 9th, 2007 2 Comments »
A few weeks ago I downloaded Stars new album title In Our Bedroom After the War from emusic.com. I gotta say this is a pretty solid album top to bottom and it’s making me quite the Stars fan now. The two songs that absolutely stick out to me are “Ghost of Genova Heights” and “Take [...]

With the Russian site allofmp3.com now appearing to be shut down for good due to pressure coming from America, I thought I’d help point you to alternatives. The sites discussed on the below link are likely all Russian sites that have a similar format to allofmp3. It’s just a giant game of catch-up really, so [...]
I’m still all backlogged from the Europe vaca, then a week in CT for work, and now trying to organize and upload our photos. But I just woke up from my technology hibernation (yeah I do know iPhones are out- you could live in a cave in Afghanistan and know about those things) long enough [...]
