Renaissance 2.0
I’ve always liked Ace of Base and this song… which wasn’t one of their biggest hits here in the USA. Still, it’s a fun song with a simple but true message. It IS a beautiful life! You can do what you want just seize the day What you’re doing tomorrow’s gonna come your way Don’t…
On twitter tonight, I asked everyone to name some good actors turned singers but no one could come up with any. We did come up with a slew of bad ones though. Here are just some of them. I will add more to the playlist with time.
Here are my favorite moments from So You Think You Can Dance over the course of its 5 seasons. I will continue to add more over time so check back often.

Here’s the first time most of us ever heard or saw Josh Groban many years ago when he performed in Allie McBeal as this nerdy guy who sings at the prom. No one listens at first but then they hear that voice and everyone stops and becomes spellbound. It’s such a great scene. It was…
The Black Eyed Peas were amazing on this week’s So You Think You Can Dance performing their new number one song on Billboard’s Hot 100, “I Gotta Feeling”. By the way, they replaced their own song at number one by breaking a 12-week run at the summit for “Boom Boom Pow”. They are the hottest…
I don’t normally write about a movie BEFORE I see it but every once in a while I do when everything about a movie seems like a winner to me. “Julie & Julia” has all the “ingredients” for a delicious recipe. OK, sorry about all the bad puns. Here’s why I cannot wait to see…
