And now that we know she likes Midlake, Animal Collective, Bowie (duh) and Zelda, and that Marry Me was inspired by Arrested Development, we love her even more…

That’s the name of one of the tracks on the soon-to-be-released iTunes only EP of B-sides and rarities from Midlake called Oak & Julian.

First Paul, then John…now Ringo Starr’s solo wares are available for purchase from the iTunes Store.

This is just too funny not to post. It’s about eight minutes long, but worth every second…

Paul McCartney showed up in the headlines again this week, and his ex-wife was all over the news this past week due to the paparrazi that was found guilty of harassing her. Some ‘expert’ talks about Paul’s shame in this article, but I have to imagine Paul is a bit PO’d about his new record […]
