An American Family in England (Free subscription) | yesterday
So I haven't done this in ages - in fact, I can't remember the last time I had a girls' weekend. However, the opportunity arose for me to visit Prague with two girlfriends last weekend. We were able to stay cheaply in the American embassy housing which left more money for us to spend on the neat trinkets and gifts we bought with our Czech Koruna. At 17 Koruna to $1 we felt rich! I don't think Patrick...

Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue hit bookstores this week. From Page 408: “…She was content to return to Alaska after the national election and go to work, but the haters wouldn’t let her. Now, these adolescent screechers are not scuba divers. And no one ever told them what happens when you continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without warning, it will spin around and tear your...

When Palmer arrived, Lennon was adding background vocals to “(Just Like) Starting Over.” Palmer noted that Lennon had sung his parts perfectly in key. Lennon, impressed by Palmer’s ear, said, “You’ll [...]

Luck Of The Irish (Live) - John Lennon (from the Anthology set which, BTW is totally awesome and an essential purchase for any serious Lennon fan) Perhaps this will be the thing to finally convince people that the lack of video replay in the game is a relic of past ages and a massive dis-service to the players who invest years of their lives in the game, and the supporters who live and die with their...

From Goldfrapp to Badly Drawn Boy, from Karen O to Nick Cave, more and more big names are lining up to write music for films. What makes the process so appealing? 'When you're writing a song, it's like you're the director, scriptwriter, cinematographer, everything. You're trying to create this little world, and although that's liberating, it's also a real head scratch. When you're just coming up with...

I had a friend in college who said he could tell everything he needed to know about a person by asking them who their favorite Beatle was. The frustrating thing was, he was usually right. For the record, mine was John Lennon. His was George Harrison. I miss them both. I was just thinking that you can also get a great glimpse inside someone's psyche by checking out their Twitter follow list - published...
