Just saw a bit that Ticketmaster and Livenation are going to be allowed to merge. I know I'm like a week behind the times, but damn. Yes, this is from the Sun-Times, but the cozy relationship between the FCC and the current administration is really uncomfortable. Some excerpts from the article:

Ok, I think Colt McCoy put on his best "I wish I could be out there" acting job last night. I think he'll get scans and it'll look like a real shoulder injury... but if he hadn't won those other bowl games, if he wasn't a first round pick, he would have played.

Video Friday: Songs for Monsoon Season
LJ's technical difficulties got in the way of a morning post.
It's raining and apparently, people like to make songs about rain. Rain is sad and is the right music for screams, sadness, and the like. Obviously, rain is a mood-alterer... but why rain means lost love is a little lost on me. I've never been broken up with on a rainy day. It's always ( Read more... ) -
