Nickelback is a cornerback or safety who serves as the fifth (in addition to the typical four) defensive back on the defense. A […]
Musicians acting like Jocks

Odd timing that New Pornographers guitarist Todd Fancey has an album cover based on the Mary Tyler Moore opening credits. Good news is that Mary Richards and probably Mary Tyler Moore herself would approve of this 70s era disco jam. Those that are fans of this blog will probably enjoy the entire album which […]

Oscar Music (Original Song) Nominees
The prediction: Two songs from La La Land will cancel each other out handing Lin-Manuel Miranda the coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) Grand Slam. A Justin Timberlake win would make him one step closer to an EGOT . He currently has 9 Grammys and 4 Emmys (All for Saturday Night Live). This is Justin’s […]
