Now Playing: 'We Be Tryin' To Stay Alive' by Wyclef

Here's a good new feature for you... The Books I've Read in 2004, complete with pretty pictures and what I think of 'em.

Speaking of books, This Book Will Change Andy's Life has been updated with Snooping Day, Sense-less Day #2, No Money Day, and No TV Weekend.

Go ahead and brace yourself now, because with the release of this book, you KNOW it's coming... This Book Will Change Andy's Love Life. Oh boy. THAT should be an interesting year of posts. You know, having a love life would be a good start.

Please welcome Photos That Didn't Make The Cut #3, continuing the tradition with eight new and exciting images of rain, cats, and a disco superstar.

Want to add to the Andy becomes a teacher education fund? andyBay is the place for you... bid on my crap!

Al Franken... Senator in '08? I'd vote for him (if I was in a location where I could, which I'm not).

I'm really, really not cool with all of the torture of the Iraqis, and the fact that there might be more of it that we haven't been shown yet. And our country finds ways to look even worse...

I continue to advise you towards Antiwar.com for all of the headlines. There's also the counter by the same folks seen down on the left somewhere here.

Kinda cool to see Tina Fey's movie come in first. Mmm... Tina Fey. What a funny woman. Not bad on the eyes, either.

Woohoo! The Simpsons cast salary dispute has been ended. Bring on the funny!

In something that'll freak out at least one person I know, a model tripled her weight to win the Jumbo Queen competition.

Sesame Street is coming to Afghanistan. After a few weeks of Elmo, tensions will rise even more...

I keep threatening to buy a lawn gnome... maybe I'll buy one of these.

Here's the new Batman. You know what that suit needs? Nipples.

The big books today are all about butts: Walter, Captain Underpants, Psycho Butts... though none of them are as good as Everyone Poops.

DMB news: The planned DMB Festival in New York has been cancelled. Dave's newest video, a live video with Trey Anastasio and Orchestra Baobob singing "So Damn Lucky" on the streets of Dakur, has been released.

Though I didn't give it that much praise at first (having listened to a song and a half), I'm really enjoying "Rock Against Bush Vol. One." Vol. Two is already in the works. The Foo Fighters are remaking "Gas Chamber," while also contributing are No Doubt, Green Day, and others. And to answer the question I really couldn't yesterday, profits are going towards advertising against Bush (MoveOn and such). There's also a tour in progress.

Bill Clinton's upcoming book is raising both hopes and doubts. I'll be picking up a copy the day it comes out, and get myself my additional 20% off of it. Woohoo! (And since it'll probably come out at 30% off, that's half price... bookstore employee ISN'T always bad...)

The Counting Crows have a new song that's the first single off the upcoming Shrek 2 soundtrack. Some people might be interested to know that the soundtrack also includes both Tom Waits and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

In sad news, Augusta, GA has delayed the unveiling of its James Brown statue.

In what might be the most bland concert ever, Brad Paisley and John Mayer have done an episode of CMT Crossroads together (to their credit, I like one song by each). It's surely not as good as Crossroads classic pairings like Dave & Emmylou, The Chicks & James Taylor, Ryan Adams & Elton John, or Elvis Costello & Lucinda Williams. I am equally as scared to read that the next Crossroads has been taped, and it's... Wynonna and the group Heart. Ouch.
