Sayonara Summertime

Can you hear that? It's the collect sigh of kids in the Madison school district as summer is coming to a close.  School starts again tomorrow so it's the last night of summer.  Actually, tonight is a school night.  So I guess summer really ended for those kids yesterday. I always remember at the beginning of summer thinking about how much time I had and how there were so many things I wanted to do.  Each year the summer went by too quickly and I always had a some regret that I didn't do more.  Why didn't I get in one more bike ride or one more game of softball or maybe just one more dip in the pool. I think this tends to be true with a lot of things we do in life.  We always look back and wish we did more.  I'm not sure we ever really feel fully satisfied.  Maybe that's a good thing.  After all, if we got everything we wanted there would be no reason to look forward to anything. Who am I kidding?  The "we wouldn't have anything to look forward to" speech is probably falling on deaf ears for those who are under 18 years old.

Free download: Pete Yorn's new project
I'm not sure why Pete Yorn decided to name his new music project after a European cave dwelling aquatic salamander, but if he stops by to play us some songs in Studio M, we'll have to ask him. The Olms is a collaboration between Pete Yorn and...

World's Worst iPod: Torn Between Two Lovers by Mary MacGregor
Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Kitty used to be a Goth--almost
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture. I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons. 1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels. 2) I used to...

World's Worst iPod: Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...
