It’s really tough for me to choose whether I enjoy Sharon Jones or the Dap-Kings more…
Do people throw Wagon Wheels at OCMS shows? Should they just be called Old Crow Medicine Shows?
We all know America > Canada, but what do we make of the fact that Our Lady Peace is from Canada???
I’m man enough to admit I’m excited about Daughtry. Are you?

Total Recall is about three days away from release. The number three seems to be relevant for some other reason I can’t think of ohyeah…
Oh and also, here’s Tracy Morgan giving birth. Neat!
