One of my helpers suggests checking out: Soundgarden, Peal Jam, Bush, Smashing Pumpkins, and Everclear. Happy jamming.

Who could pick just one favorite Fleetwood Mac song?! Here are a few that my library helpers love: 

Silver Springs / Silver Springs (Live at Warner Brothers Studios) 
Feminine rage: always in style
Heart wrenchingly beautiful
lyric intensity, ensemble performance, production
Peak feminine rage

Hypnotic dream-state of a tune

It’s an early deep cut.

I don’t even care about the anachronisms, it’s such a fun show to watch and it’s a travesty that the next season is 2 years away!

It was very much deserved!

Amazing, ethereal, one of the best artists of all time.

This is such a hard choice that I can’t decide. Hopefully we will see who wins in this season of XO, Kitty!

First step, create a YouTube channel. Next step, talk about stuff that’s interesting to you. Final step, believe in yourself!

Indeed! If others are wondering, you might want to read the graphic novel, Watchmen, by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins. There are two copies on reserve that can be requested at the O’Neill patron services desk on Level 3. 

I’m partial to themes: they give a group a way to select films that are related in some way. Example: films based on classic books, like Les Miserables, Little Women, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Being There, etc. Other themes: monsters, Christmas, the ocean, baseball… Agree on a theme and everyone picks one or two. Lots of films on movies.bc.edu!

The venue sounds pretty grim, as is what he’s charged with, so no. https://bit.ly/4gxo88u

When it comes to music this week, I am really liking the classical soundtrack from the 2005 Pride & Prejudice (with Kiera Knightley).

As I understand it there are many platforms for viewing films– I don’t have a firm grasp of that, but in no particular order here are some autumnal films I enjoy: Hocus Pocus, Legally Blonde, Bend it Like Beckham, You’ve Got Mail, Babe (1995), Fantastic Mr. Fox, Always Be My Maybe, 10 Things I Hate About You… don’t forget we have a fabulous DVD collection!

Have you been down bad crying at the gym?

The law just passed gives the parent company nine months to sell Tik Tok to a US buyer, one year if there’s a deal in negotiations. There will certainly be attempts to block the law in court, so nothing is likely to change for quite a while.

I really hope so. But ultimately, only Queen Bey knows.

I’ve provided several answers to questions like this over the years with lots of input from my library helpers. It depends on what you want.

Context matters. Below par is bad for stocks and mood, but good for golf. https://bit.ly/bc-par

What an interesting face! Thanks for the art!
