How Come I End Up Where I Started?

Congratulations to Mr. Joseph R. Halbert for correctly naming "Basket Case" by Green Day as the Friday Song of the Day. I may be going out on a limb here, but "Basket Case" may be the song that the largest number of people in Generation Y can nearly quote verbatim. If I'm wrong here, please, please, please let me know where I've gone astray.

Speaking of memorable music videos, Coldplay just released the video for "Life in Technicolor II", and if you're not completely creeped out by marionettes, it's an enjoyable 4 minutes and 33 seconds.

Many thanks to Andrew Tuegel for sending the video my way.

You Better Start Swimmin' or You'll Sink Like a Stone

Congratulations to Mr. Kalum Tuggle and Mr. Jeremy Masten for correctly naming "Basket Case" from Green Day's seminal album Dookie as the Thursday Song of the Day.

As Jeremy said, if you can use the word "dookie" with a touch of irony and mock-seriousness, that, my friends, is comedic gold.
