GO! NOW!

In deciding which QoTD classic to ressurect for today, I found one that was done almost one year ago to this day. I'm on a reality TV kick lately; and since May 2008 when this question was suggested, we've had a myriad of new reality TV shows go off in the most insane directions imaginable including: The Baby Borrowers (NBC), Clash of the Choirs (NBC), Make Me a Supermodel (Bravo), Celebrity Rehab (VH1), Parking Wars (A&E), Crowned: The Mother of All Pagents (CW), Party Mamas (WEtv)...just to name a few. So, what else do you think reality TV will dredge up for programming? What's next? On the flip side, do you think there's something you'd like to see reality TV handle. For example, the place where I work is in talks with TNT to provide a weekly reality-type program following some interesting patient stories and the things they experience going through their treatments, etc., and also following some of the physicians at Mayo Clinic and their stories. So, head on over to the QoTD and discuss!

Just as an aside, there'll be no QoTD questions for Friday or Monday...so, you can bump your own!

Looking for some summer music in the feel of catchy power-pop. Well, Buzznet member LoFoSho thinks Arizona-based band The Summer Set might be just what you're looking for; and you're in luck, they're set to release their first full-length album this summer! Rad!

Bringing back another classic QOTD question in Mark's absence this week...

This could be interesting even still today in light of the fact of the sad state of affairs regarding Jon and Kate Gosselin of the TLC reality television series Jon & Kate Plus 8. For those of you unaware of Jon and Kate and the turmoil that is currently their lives (along with their poor 8 children), you can google their names and probably get over a million hits, unfortunately : (

Buzznet member Allyn reintroduces us to Anthony, John, Chad, and Flea; otherwise known as the Red Hot Chili Peppers...the California band that has mixed rock, punk, funk, folk, rock, and alternative musical stylings since 1983 and as Allyn states become a meaningful and influential musical force in the lives of all their fans.

Buzznet member xcollapsingcities wants to introduce you to Goodnight Nurse; New Zealand natives mixing the best elements of Green Day and Blink-182. So, if you're in the market for some wicked cool pop punk, give these New Zealand lads a listen...Apparently, as well, they do a rad cover of "Milkshake," and they have a Twitter!

Buzznet member felice2 wants you to take a listen to the UK indie pop band The Last Shadow Puppets - the band consisting of members of The Arctic Monkeys and The Rascals. Plus, the cool accents might sway you as well.

So, yea, check out my Valentine's Day Playlist for Buzznet's Playlist Contest. Gotta buzz it I guess. That'd be nice. That is all. Kthnxbai!

Yea, it's my tumblr blog, although it's mostly filled with my random twitters, but I put stuff up there that I don't want to put up here I guess...I don't know. Check it out if you'd like. I put my critter videos up there as well. If you have an account, you are more than welcome to add me as long as I can add you back. I just started using this, though, so nothing too exciting yet.

This is my cousin Ray's band. I haven't seen them in a few years, but I do enjoy his music; and I had a blast when I finally did get to see them in person...it's a different type of music but not so bad, ya' know. I like everything anyway that catches my ear...like to be multidimensional...
