I Shall Return!

On the anniversary of General MacArthur’s most famous quote, we are NOT playing MacArthur Park!  We are playing songs about returning, though.  A nice thought, right?  Returning home,  Spring returning, etc.  Your songs here!

What kind of tree would you be?

Even though it’s been weeks since the last, awful snowstorm, broken and battered trees are lying all over the place across the tri-state – making us think about the beauty of these objects that we so often take for granted. We pay tribute to the trees in today’s QOTD with some songs that feature the mighty oak, the spreading chestnut, and the towering pine!

Let’s get some more trees in our concrete jungle! Check out http://milliontreesnyc.org/html/home/home.shtml

I Can’t Wake Up to Save My Life!

It’s National Sleep Awareness Week, it sounds like the dumbest thing we’ve ever heard, but it’s a good excuse to play songs about sleep!

Slow computers, a printer giving Robin Shannon problems, and Don’s vain attempts to learn his new iPhone, got us thinking about technology. It’s great, and Its frustrating, lets here your song suggestions pro or con.
