happy thanksgiving, y’all

I am spending my Thanksgiving getting some well deserved rest, eating way too much food, and spending time with friends. As such, I think that I may skip the 5SF this week; that, and I still haven’t figured out what I am going to do with regards to posting songs yet. The 5SF should return [...]

major bandwith theft and the fate of the 5SF

It seems that it is always the few that have to ruin it for all of the others. So you may have noticed that as of this morning, none of the audio links work on this site anymore. This is a direct response to an email that I received from my hosting company that said [...]

5SF: november 20

Thank goodness it’s Friday; it means the weekend is almost here, and it also means that new music is coming your way via the 5SF! Today, there is a little bit of a celebration of the letter A; seeing as all of the songs featured today, are by artists whose names start with A (well, [...]

comment pending approval

I just got a comment on my “just want to say hi” page from Glen (or booknut82, based on the email provided in said comment) that said:

sotd: RichGirl – He Ain’t Wit Me Now (Tho)

I was trying to think of something to post about when it hit me; I haven’t done a SOTD in quite a while. Today I was listening to Amerie’s newest album, In Love and War (there are some really great tracks on there!), and it reminded me of the very poorly marketed RichGirl, and their [...]

5SF: november 13

First up today, let’s take a look at a truly inspiring story from what I can only describe as a true example of what our nation’s youth should aspire to be like. That kid has some courage. I wish there were more like him; maybe someday he will be the majority, and we can all [...]

more hate from the catholic church

Check out this latest act of stupidity drowned in hate, from the Catholic Church: (h/t to my friend W. Scott for letting me know about this)
The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said Wednesday that it will be unable to continue the social service programs it runs for the District if the city doesn’t change a proposed [...]

Tom Ford on gay marriage

This morning, I read this interview with Tom Ford, and I really liked some of the things he had to say; especially what he said about the gay marriage issue in this country. Tom Ford is my number one celebrity crush, so of course, any time I have a sliver of a good reason to [...]

Holy mother of drum & bass, Batman!! Seriously, if you are a fan of drum & bass, this may be [...]

Maine votes against gay marriage: some thoughts

Yesterday, Maine’s vote sent a(nother) clear message to me: gay people do not matter to the majority of Americans. I am sure that many will argue that this is not the position of most Americans, but the message is too clear to ignore. Our civil rights are constantly up for debate, and constantly, we have [...]
