Lady Still Willing To Be All, "And What Do You Do?"

It's nice to see someone who's been on the job for 60 years still be willing to continue being rich and stuff.

From The People Who Brought You "Filipino Convict 'Thriller'"

You can catch the full performance here, but this clip of the world-famous Cebu Detention and Rehabilitation Center dancers in the Philippines performing a medley of Queen songs-choreographed by a mass murderer!-may be just the thing to bring some light into your partly cloudy afternoon. Although there is something rather cruel about forcing prisoners to perform "I Want To Break Free." Enjoy!

If People Are Going To Ride Bicycles In New York In This Weather, We Can't Win

Walking my kid to school this morning, shivering, frustratedly yanking him away from the patches of "snow" he was so desperate to walk through, I was amazed by how many people were riding their bikes over the same slippery, ice-frozen streets. All bundled up in bulky coats, exhaling visible breath through the scarves wrapped around their faces, some of them carting their own kids in specially designed second-seats. There they were, peddling along, getting to work, clumsily negotiating a very-difficult-to-negotiate terrain and traffic, making better time than I was. (Though, to be sure, I did not envy them. They all seemed to have expressions on their faces that [...]

The Old Ways Are the Best Ways

What is with this modern world? For instance: on iTunes and on Amazon download, you can't purchase Queen's "Greatest Hits I, II & III – The Platinum Collection."

WHICH IS $43.56. Or, you know, you can buy The Platinum Collection for $15.49! On some things called CDs! Which I guess can then go into your computer, if you have a working disc drive and somehow become mp3s? Back with more Queen-related [...]

The World Needs "Queen: Rock Band"

The Beatles: Rock Band did okay: in September, in the U.S., it sold 595,000 units. That's just decent. But the thing about the game is that it kind of sucks, in terms of playability. (Though it rules in terms of gorgeousness-the visuals are awesome.) As a game itself, though, there's almost nothing there. It comes with so few tracks, it isn't terribly challenging, and in terms of a "game," as in, an advancing storyline, it is abysmal. Last week, Rock Band released a Queen ten-song pack, and in terms of playability and fun, those ten Queen songs are more than ten times the fun of Beatles: Rock Band. (EVEN IF [...]
