POPSWeird Al Will Release Music As He Records It Parody musician "Weird Al" Yankovic says that thanks to the internet, he can now release songs whenever he completes them, and doesn't have to wait until he's got a whole album done. It's a big deal for an artist like Al, who produces very topical music -- and perhaps its another nail in the coffin of album-centric music. Why go through all the cost and complication of recording, releasing, and promoting an album every few years, when you can just cheaply churn out singles and provide a more reliable revenue stream?

POPSWhen All Truth Is Relative "Although this gambit may pay short-term political dividends, in the long run it only serves to further divide Americans into their ideological enclaves -- with conservatives getting their news from X and liberals from Y. More important, by undermining the very idea of truth, it also undermines the idea that, as a nation, we can collectively and honestly describe and find solutions to the problems we all face."

POPSThe Seven Sweetest Fictional Theme Parks Pt 1 (#7 - #5) Cartmanland, Horrorland from Goosebumps, and the Granddaddy of all fictional theme parks: Westworld! Part 2 gets better with Wally World, Thrill World, Itchy and Scratchy Land, and I am not going to tell you what Number One is.... Not even a hint.... I personally love theme parks and have been to some of the best: Disneyland, Six Flags, Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, Raging Waters, California Adventure, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios California, Palisades Park, and Astroworld... and the biggest of them all - Las Vegas! But if you like sci-fi or adventure thrillers pick up Dream Park by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes (or the 4 or so sequels), Utopia by Lincoln Childs, or Futureworld by Phillip J. Farmer. You will love them!
