I don’t want to call this a review.  I mean, I liked Iron Man 3, but I did not really like it all that much.  I still feel that the first movie is the best.  And, Iron Man 3 is an improvement over Iron Man 2.  But, I was not completely thrilled by this movie.

New Finds on the Radio

I’ve been getting into NPR’s Ask Me Another, another quiz show that goes great along with my favorite NPR show, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.  The questions are often plays on words and, just like Wait Wait, it’s fun to play along.

Saturday Songs – May 4, 2013

It was a bit of a dilemma.  Do I pick a song that is oriented towards comics since this is Free Comic Book Day?  Or, do I pick a song that is Star Wars in theme, since it is May the Fourth (be with you… sound it out).

I decided on this.

and this.

Enjoy!

Saturday Songs – April 27, 2013

Recently, I did a post listing five videos that I thought were a bit below par for the songs they were being matched with.

Well, this week, I’m heading back to the 1980s for a song that is just as sub par as the video it’s matched with.

Picks of the Week – April 24, 2013

It’s been a rough week for me.  Still, I did manage to read through some of this week’s releases and come up with a pick or two.

5 Good Songs with Bad Videos

The wonder of music is that the experience often goes beyond the auditory.  Listeners often will envision the song they are listening to in their own way.  Even with the creation of the music video, that experience still stands, though now, what we envision for a song may be drasticly different from what some random director decided what visuals should go with the song.

Something a little different as we take a breather from this past week.

As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, I decided to take a look back at some of the obscure Doctor moments.
