Stefani Before Gaga

The Lady Gaga Forum has a post with links to the AAC and MP3 files of the unreleased Stefani Germanotta Band - Red And Blue EP (2006),or you can watch them on Miqui212's YouTube channel. I like the songs here better than her pop stuff. Hopefully she formally releases this or gets back to it someday.

Eargasmix

Eargasmix is another blog tracking the mashup/house music scene. They also link to a copy of Deadmau5 and Luciano Live from Ibiza and Moar Ghosts N Whatever, also on the mau5's YouTube channel.

First Idea: The Future

• Talking and texting on cell phones are like smoking used to be, rude, dirty habits that damage not only you but the people around you. 
• Negative thoughts are like drinking, you are toxic if you have a bad attitude as it infects everyone around you and brings them down. You're given attitude adjustment tests and thrown in the attitude tank to sober up. It's hard for the elderly to adjust so the kids just laugh off their cranky attitudes.
• Labels are everywhere, people get paid for mentioning brand names in everyday conversation.
• A ghostwriter works on the sixth novel of a series of three by a famous author who has since died.

The Inflation Tsunami

It's in America's best interests for the dollar to depreciate. It will stimulate trade and demand for American goods. Don't be surprised if in a year or two the dollar to euro conversion rate is 2:1.
