The Creature From The Black Saloon Came Through The Mail Slot!

Remember back when I mentioned that band I’ve never heard of? Well, their album arrived a couple of days ago! I just figured out what it was since I wasn’t sure if it was a Christmas package or this, but I have now listened to the album. These guys are hilarious. It’s funny. At first …

Christmas Ramblings

I figured I’d write a few Christmas-related thoughts. Holy crap, I’m actually getting my Christmas shopping in order. I just need to pick up a few things, and get a couple more ideas, and I’ll be done. Of course, a lot of this stuff has to come through the mail…so there’s still a lot of …

I just finished picking out and downloading my10 free songsfromHMV Digital.Thanks for all the suggestions, ya bastards. Quite the helpful bunch you all are. Don’t worry, I probably wouldn’t have wanted to suggest anything either. Anyway, I figure I’ll list what I bought and then do a little complaining. Colin James – Chicks ‘N Cars …
