Apple to Apple?
I don’t use iTunes, but it seems that the service will finally be offering the Beatles catalog.
Happy Oscar®, Kevin Brownlow!
Right now, TCM is showing F.W. Murnau’s silent film classic, Sunrise.
[MEDIA=35]
The first time I saw scenes from Sunrise was in the documentary series Hollywood: A Celebration of The American Silent Film, that was co-created by Kevin Brownlow. Saturday night, Brownlow received an extremely well-deserved honorary Oscar®. The Bioscopic site has an excellent post about the event, including links to videos.

They must be Belgians
As has been my habit for the past 2+ years, when I’m in a foul political mood, I indulge some light-hearted K3 songs. Somebody was nice enough to put good quality K3 videos on YouTube, saving my site from the storage and bandwidth burdens. These are two of my favorites, with the original line-up, Kristel Verbeke (black), Kathleen Aerts (yellow), and Karen Damen (red) — the colors of the Belgian national flag.

Is There Somebody on Mars?
Aww, what the heck, here’s Tele-romeo…
These are two of the most versatile, talented, hardest-working and, yes, sexiest women in show biz. I am certain the only reason Karen and Kristel aren’t internationally famous is because they aren’t from England or America.
The saga of Toxie
Way back in April, 2007, I did a post called Legal Loan Sharking. To get a good understanding of the complexities of the subprime mortgage mess, and why it is still very much a crisis, you must listen to last week’s This American Life.
