Really! There's only 57 million square miles of land on Earth, why in the HELL doesn't Google have them all covered already??

This is Pretty Great
A beautiful blend of cutting-edge technology, gorgeous music and interactivity.

The Clash - Give 'Em Enough Rope
I was never the same.

Oh, the internets have despised me for years. But when it goes down, I check my overall connection to my ISP, and that's fine.

The Jim Greer Connection
Not only did Greer join GBV, prior to that he wrote an R.E.M. biography, called Behind The Mask.

Netflix Streaming Overtaxing Its Servers?
Any other regular users of Netflix streaming notice a lot of freezes lately, where it has to reconnect with the server?

I saw Grant Lee Buffalo headline in 1993 and they were really good.

Before they recorded OCTOBER, the story goes, the lyrics were stolen, so Bono made them up for a lot of the tracks.

I've heard "Bastards of Young" hundreds of times, and it didn't strike me until just a few weeks ago that what Paul is singing on the outro is "hate yours hate yours hate yours."

The R.E.M. Lyric-Deciphering Party
After Murmur came out and changed everything, a group of us decided to have a R.E.M. lyric-deciphering party, figuring that if we all got together and listened to the records closely, we could come to a consensus on what exactly Stipe was singing once and for all.

Fresno, California.

This is definitely one of my favorite series on the site.

I read the first couple of "Riverworld" books — in fact, I may have read all the way through to Gods of Riverworld — and always felt that they never quite lived up to the amazing premise, interesting historical characters aside.

M*A*S*H was my first "Favorite Show"
I watched it obsessively from the start as a kid, and every single night on syndication for years and years — to the point where by the time it went off the air, I could pretty much spoil punchlines from any episode in the first few seasons.

@tommytwotone,

I Loved The Podcasts And All
And even the BBC radio shows before that, but after awhile, doesn't this get kinda old? Even with Pilkington as an (obviously) willing victim?

EPs were originally 7" records that weren't officially singles, and usually had 4-5 songs.

Just finished watching Angel Season 5.

I'd Still Rather Watch a Karen Sisco Film
Seems like a natural thing.

Dylan? Modern Times, Time out of Mind and — especially — "Love and Theft" stand with just about anything in his canon.
