Just some links today.
Pop Songs 07 will certainly become a regular read of mine. The author is going to write something about every R.E.M. song, or at least all album tracks and significant b-sides and unreleased stuff. There's already enough there, at least one song from every album, to keep you busy reading for a while. The comments and discussion that each post starts are also quite interesting. I just wish I would've thought of this first. What a great idea.
I want this lamp for my new orange study. Maybe I could use this idea to put all of our photos up on the wall in that room, too.
Here is Stylus's best one-hit-wonders. I'm not sure how "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" was left off of there. I remember that song being huge.
As a Googleophile I've naturally fallen in love with Google Browser Sync and Google Reader, but they really have made my web browsing more enjoyable and much much easier. With GBS, my Firefox window has all of the same tabs and bookmarks at home as it does at work. If I see something during the day that I want to wait to read or watch that night at home, I just leave the tab open and come back to it later. Google Reader is just an RSS reader, but it integrates so well into my tabs and web browsing habits that I've dumped my other readers to exclusively use this one. Now my first tab is always Gmail, and the second is always Google Reader. If you're not reading your blogs, news pages, and Best of Craigslist using an RSS reader yet, you're wasting a whole lot of time.
I have a good weekend ahead of me - Modest Mouse (with Johnny Marr!!) on Friday night, Spoon at the MFA on Saturday, and a yard sale either Saturday or Sunday, depending on when it decides to rain. Come buy my stuff.
Update: Someone was inspired by the site at the top of this post and is doing the song-by-song blog thing with the Talking Heads. J2, when are you going to start yours on Radiohead?

Thanks for the link to the Talking Heads site. I agree (well, obviously...) that Perpetua had a great idea with his REM blog. Why not grab a band and give it a whirl yourself?

Hmm...I'm thinking about it, although my first choice would certainly be R.E.M. I might be able to give it a try with either Pulp or Radiohead.

We sold a picture of fish last year! However, we did sell a scary red-flashing-eye teletubby figure - remember that??
