The Times They Are a-Changin' (back)
Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat itJohn Mayer's song "Waiting for the World to Change" depresses the hell out of me.It feels like it's a "re-imaging" of a 60's protest song. And that's what sticks in my throat. Hippies, Woodstock, Flower Power and irrational manifestos. All of this was suppose to have changed the world already.Now John is pretty much saying we're back where we

In loveactually, part of the plot involves a washed up singer remaking a old hit into Christmas song to cash in.Well, life imitates art.Bette Midler has release a Christmas album.

I first came across Boards of Canada when I was bored around Canada Day and typed in "Canada" into Napster or some other P2P app. Since then, I've bought virtually every album they still have in release.I've tried to describe BoC to others but Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) or Ambiant just doesn't seem right.The best description that's come to me so far is: It's how you remember the 70's feeling.

No Fear.
_'No Fear'._Now a _hopefully_ forgotten brand of clothing from the 90's _and_ my musicial philosophy._Do Not_ be afraid of music you like. Still like *New Kids on the Block*? Then sing it loud, sing it proud._Do Not_ be afraid to listen to something different. Music favors the bold.I pretty much signed up to see what differences MOG offers over Last.fm.
