Weekly MP3 shareAnother share of one of my MP3s. I set up a new one once a week and give you seven days to check it out. After that it will be gone and replaced by a new selection. Please don't link to this. Just click on the link and save it. Until I can make some money and buy some, if you get the message BANDWIDTH exceeded, just try again tomorrow. For this week:

Mp3 ShareKaiser Chiefs
"The Heat Dies Down"

or you can try here too!

I was of two minds this week. I was going to post a selection from Modest Mouse. Their new album "We Were Dead Before The Skip Even Sank" debuted as number three in the Canadian top ten albums. I picked it up out of curiosity and have grown to like it. However, the Kaiser Chiefs have been in the top ten for a while now. This album called "Yours Truly Angry Mob" is far superior to Modest Mouse. I may still post one from them but this week it was the "Heat Dies Down" from the superior UK group that won the day. Enjoy!

Check this out, you may want to grab your camera and have some Friday Fun!
Dane Carlson from Business Opportunities Weblog saw someone hopping his neighbors fence, grabbed his camera and then snapped pics of the would-be thief as he fled after the homes alarm went off.

But Dane DIDN’T stop there. He jumped in his car and followed him around the block where the suspect changed clothes. Dane took his pic again and then gave it to police when they responded to the call.

A little while later police found the suspect and attempted to apprehend him when shots were fired.

Here’s the full article from the Modesto Bee.

Another post prompted by a song in a TV commercial. I've got to stop watching so much, or maybe I should record evertything and zap through the commercials. This one was plugging another car from The Teddybears album originally released in 2000 called "Rock N Roll High School". They turned out to be a Swedish group too! Here is "Yours To Keep" to enjoy.

Wallpass is designed to help you surf in freedom. You can access your MySpace page, online games or just go to Google and browse wherever. Wallpass hates schools or workplaces that block online content such as MySpace, because everyone needs to chill out sometimes and what better way to do that than head over to MySpace, play a few online games, or just do whatever you want! Check it out.

I'm back but I decided not to post anymore.... APRIL FOOL
I'll be back with a regular post tomorrow. After 2 weeks off it is hard to get back to work and I feel a bit rusty. Bear with me. Until tomorrow enjoy a classic April Fool...
The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest
In 1957 the respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in, and many called up wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti trees. To this question, the BBC diplomatically replied that they should "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best." Check out the actual broadcast archived on the BBC's website (You need the RealVideo player installed to see it, and it usually loads very slowly).
