Defeating the January New Music Blahs With Parov Stelar, Kathleen Edwards and Classic Dylan
January, and even sometimes February, is usually a bit of a snooze if you’re the type who waits all week for New Music Tuesday. The October – December holiday shopping season is stacked with major releases, leaving the beginning of the new year a bit wanting.
What are you supposed to do in this lull? We have a few suggestions on how you can treat your ears in these less obvious times.
Thank You For Being A Friend – Happy Birthday, Betty White!
Today, Betty White turns 90 years young. With her recent pop culture prevelence, her SNL guest host gig and her role on Hot In Cleveland, the lady reminds me of the wonderful George Burns, who was always a part of my life growing up. Tweens and teens may not have been born during the Golden Girls initial run, and they certainly weren’t around when Betty was working her magic with Mary Tyler Moore, but thanks to the web and the masses warm embrace, Betty White is going to be remembered by multiple generations.
Happy Birthday, Betty! I hope they’re doing something fun in Saint Olaf today.
