BPTC: In New Tumblr Blog News... →
liquidchroma: davebloom: I have a new one. It’s called drumtumblr. Here’s what it does. Follow at will. If you enjoy music at all, you should definitely follow. This is an extremely excellent idea and I just might steal it for a guitar Tumblr of some sort: This site is going to focus on great… Anyone else think that Ben should do one of these for guitar?  *raises hand*

II: 1902
justonesongmore: On the Relative Widths of Oceans, the Importance of Height, and the Value of Publicity Read More Every music fan on Tumblr should be following Just One Song More.  The author is doing a year-by-year rundown on the 20th century, profiling a number of songs from that year as dictated by the last two digits of the year (that is, he’s profiled one song for 1901, but...

The Happy Days Multiverse
So I had this rather minor Happy Days-related trivia question (basically, confirming that Suzy Quatro did, indeed, play Leather Tuscadero), and I ended up at the Wikipedia entry for Blansky’s Beauties, a 1977 Happy Days spinoff that, unlike the more celebrated Happy Days spinoffs like Laverne and Shirley and Joanie Loves Chachi, took place in modern day 1977*.

'Whenever you find yourself on the side of the...
The title up there comes from a 1904 journal entry by Mark Twain, about 20 years after The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published.  I just discovered the quote, but majority opinions tend to make me nervous, too.  This is why I’ve been feeling a little uneasy about the seemingly near-universal distaste for the soon-to-be-published New South version of The Adventures of Huckleberry...
