I admit I was alive in 1974.....

And when visiting the list of the day blog I ran across a list of the top 50 songs from 1974. One that I loved was David Essex (one hit wonder as far as I know) doing Rock On! I'm sure my parents hated it based on how often I played it. For those of you who don't remember his slightly goofy super cool look, there is a google video (no embed allowed) of him doing the song on probably Wolfman Jack's show or something: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_mzadEFuP4&feature=related

Running up that hill as interpreted by Placebo

I really enjoyed this video of Placebo and their interpretation of Kate Bush's "Running up that Hill".  It really is a different feel for an awesome song and shows that her music translates well, regardless of who performs it - it's not just her unusual and unearthly voice that makes her music work.

Flock - The Social Web Browser

Flock - The Social Web Browser  is a cool new browser created specifically for blogging and social networking.  It's based on Firefox/Mozilla, and has a lot of nifty features for bloggers - including easily adding media and pictures to a post such as this one.  For instance I created this link by dragging and dropping it from a web clipboard onto my post This explains it...  I can do the same thing with images such as this one: The composer even lets me resize the image, or modify the media. The same can be done with youtube videos, like this one:
