hang out with the log lady

In 2004, it was Janet Jackson.
In 2007, it was Prince.
This year, I think we're switching media. Hugo and I seem to be approaching our next duo cult obsession: Twin Peaks episodes, in order.
Feel free to join us: link. However, you can't watch the hour-and-a-half long pilot on cbs.com, and it's really worth starting there. You can Netflix it, though. Do it - the pilot is really informative and great and creepy and bizarre and will make you think about the log lady for days to come.
Log lady.

mashup of all 25 top songs in 2007

Thanks to Stevie B's Google Reader shared items, I recently subscribed to a blog called boing boing where I read about a mashup of the top 25 tracks of the year. The post says, "The raw material is pretty poor quality (Top 40 has never been brilliant, but it's at a real low this year) but Earworm spins some gold out of the straw." Check it out here.

Lemons to lemonade? Maybe not quite. But it is pretty interesting.

Next pop star obsesson

Hugo and I have old school pop star obsessions.

We went nuts over Janet Jackson in 2004.

This year we've gone gaga for Prince.

I'm still completely in love with Prince (Nothing Compares 2 U, Prince), but... I'm starting to wonder if it's time re-discover our next icon?

I think the only criteria for a pop star obsession is that we missed the craze when it happened the first time around (even though, I'd like to note that Prince is in his prime right now).

Who should it be next?

Should we make pop star art? I'd like to write fan letters.

Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me?



Prince made it on a Kyrgyzstan stamp in 2000. Gallagher, you must be so envious.
