iTunes Requests!

I never know it was possible to request a song on iTunes.


If your search result come back with Zip, Zero, Nada, all you need to do is click on  Request on the screen shown below.  You will be redirected to an Apple form that lets you fill out what you want.  I have no idea how effective this process is, but it is better than nothing.

MUSIC DVD: Seeking the Sublime

"There is no accounting for taste."

Let's see, the Unions are surrounding Wisconsin, Kaddafy Duck is surrounding Libya, California is over-reacting to Japan and swallowing overdoses of iodine and I need great music.  I shut off the news and pull open the Music DVD drawer.  Calling me is the DVD  Loreena McKennit.  Nights from the Alhambra.  Not fully free of political overtones as Irish music never is, still she has great music.  Irish Harp from this Canadian, and the rest of her repetoir, but just what I needed just for tonight.

New Brew: DogFish Head My Antonia

Actually GOT INTO BABBO tonight!  Terrific.  More on that later.  However, they feature a brew that was outstanding.  Large bottle and tasted like a Belgian, Heavily Hopped and slightly bitter. Check out the following.  The Italians now brew great beer?  CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN?

"My Antonia started out as a Collaboration beer when Sam brewed it at Birra del Borgo (hope you can read Italian) outside Rome, Italy with owner/brewer Leonardo DiVencenzo in October of 2008. In 2010, we began brewing My Antonia here at Dogfish Head brewery in Delaware for U.S. distribution..."
