"Help For Parents and/or Loved Ones"
The Downhill Battle org continues its amusing campaign against the RIAA record labels: Do you really want to deal with this? "I got that on the computer like two months ago" Kids today are so good at downloading music...

The Yearly Christmas Record
I am ashamed to admit that I've never owned a copy of The Ventures' Christmas Album...until just a couple of days ago. This past Saturday, in search of my yearly Christmas record, I wandered into Bull Moose Music in Portland,...

Holiday songs: The Chieftains, The Bells of Dublin
More holiday albums that don't suck: an Irish Christmas album that is low on schmaltz and high on craic.

The Famous Pittsburgh Creche
Given the constant media refrain of "holy wars" in the Middle East beating in the background, we sometimes forget that elsewhere, in the most unremarkable places, religious "battles of pinciple" quietly rage.

Holiday songs: Boston Camerata, Sing We Noël
Holiday albums that don't suck, Number 5: eight centuries of ringing, vibrant carols. And you thought Middle English was just for freshman lit.

You will rue this day as you drool and mumble incoherently about "prefessional site design" in the corner of your padded cell.
LOL Craig!
Yeah, the design of this site is just terrible, isn't it? I think I'll ban anybody's IP from this blog that comes to my blog and disagrees with me about it in the comments section.
I'll also remove all the posts and act like it never happened and threaten lawsuits for others who comment on their blogs about it.
The web can be a wild place :)
In the defense of the unnamed, the new shade of green is much lighter than the last choice. Then again, the last one was only there for about two days.
Phillip - I think the new shade of green makes me hungry for Mint Choclate Chip ice cream LOL I'm going to get fatter reading Blogcritics ... darn you and your holiday spirit ;)
Damnit Phillip, I thought we talked about the colors of the site a few times before!!
(I know. Grey Tuesday. I must beat every joke into the ground)
Wow, Craig. You actually found this old post to bring this up again? I'm impressed, truly.
And people reading this in the future, say, tomorrow, will have no idea what we're talking about. They won't appreciate they complete "greyness" of today. Even the Blogcritics logo, even the "Straight Up" header, all of it. I should take a screen cap!
Nah, let 'em wonder. :-)
As Richard Thompson said in his classic 'Taliban's eye view of Western culture' song "Inside of the Outside," grey is the color of the pious

Eric what's with the site colors. They seem all crazy and I don't get it. I mean why Red and Green? What could possibly be the purpose of changing the colors to Red and Green? I think I am going to go do a post on my site about how ugly it is. Please don't attack me for my ignorance though. It isn't my fault.
