I bought the new B-52s album ‘FunPlex’, and it’s great, Kate and company never disappoint, I can’t think of too many other bands that are as consistent as the B-52s, Pretty good album to workout too, which was an added bonus.
I’ve been a fan since ‘85 when Kate joined the band, oddly I knew of Kate from her work with ‘The […]

So stop me if you’ve heard this one before, Everynight at 5:45 — 6:30 my Comcast Broadband internet connection drops, it doesn’t just drop a little, it doesn’t just drop now and then – it drops to 0kbps [I suppose it doesn’t matter what unit of measure I use to communicate zero does it], it […]
