What does Gabby have to say?





White House Record Library

Did you know the White House has a large collection of vinyl albums? If you thought about it, you'd probably expect it to include artists like Pat Boone the Carpenters and John Denver. And you would be right. But the collection also includes albums like " Let it Bleed" , " Never Mind the Bullocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" Led Zeppelin IV, and even Captain Beefheart's " Trout Mask Replica". Back in 1979, according to Rolling Stone Magazine, John Hammond was asked to update the library from the John Denvers to the Rolling Stones, and now the official White House library has over 2,000 albums. With Barack Obama being the first "Blackberry" president, I wonder if he considers vinyl albums old-fashioned! I don't know what he has on his ipod ( I'm sure he has one, aren't you?), but he does love "Born to Run" and " Blood on the Tracks". It's nice to know we have a leader who knows how to rock! s

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...

World's Worst iPod: It's a Miracle by Barry Manilow
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
A Fine Monday Afternoon
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight. Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
