Is it any real wonder how George Strait has had about 70 #1 hits?

Yes, another beautiful ballad by Pavement. While I do prefer the lo-fi noise pop of early days, the older I get the more I appreciate this kind of stuff. 

Any time of the day is a good time for David Bowie.

All 9 minutes of this classic Velvets track. The music bares a strong resemblance to The Doors.

It’s 12/12/12 today! The last time that will ever happen in my lifetime. We should have a 13th month. That would be cool.
