Weekly MP3 share Another 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. For this week:

Mp3 Share Peter, Bjorn, and John
"It Don't Move Me"

or you can try here too!

Having lived in Sweden for two years, I'm partial to all things Swedish. Even IKEA! A lot more people have heard of Peter, Bjorn and John, since I last posted a song from them in 2007. They were in Toronto Saturday night at the Phoenix Concert Theatre. This song is from their latest (fifth) album called "Living Thing". The song is called "It Don't Move Me". Hope you like it. If you are interested you can check out Peter, Bjorn, and John at their own site and buy their latest album.

April 16th is National Eggs Benedict Day.

National as in U.S. national. of course.

Did you ever think how many countries are invoked in eggs benedict? The sauce is "Dutch", the muffins are "English" and the bacon is "Canadian". It's quite the international dish, namewise, even if it was invented in America.
