Britney... (sigh!) I’d like to say that I’m tired of hearing about her and her craziness, but I’d be lying. I watch TMZ.com, read US weekly and pagesix.com. When People magazine splashes her face across it’s pages, I’m the first one to buy. The most recent has a black and white photo that looks similar to a mug shot, declaring that she has been committed. But when the most the most recent issue of Rolling Stone magazine arrived in my mail box this week, I had to step back and think.

One of my Twitter friends, DougH, notified me a couple days ago that Starbucks is ditching T-Mobile and moving on to greener pastures. If AT&T can be considered greener pastures, that is.

I am not kidding when I say that I was told the following statements:

Last week someone asked about a review of local music.  There are many bands based out of Dallas who are on the same path to national success as Blue October, Flyleaf, and more recently Miser.  They’re the ones that did the Cranberries’ “Zombies” cover that was played every 8 minutes on 102.1 The Edge for an entire semester (Hey, life of a student…time is always measured by semesters).  That is a band to check out if you want some a taste of local Dallas rock.
