These days, it’s common knowledge—smoking isn’t good for you. In fact, it’s a hazard to your health. Not only is it expensive, but it also hurts your voice. Which is why it’s so surprising when I find out about singers who smoke. I mean, really. Singers who smoke are like models who like boxing as

The other day, the “Do Re Mi” song got stuck in my head. You know, the classic tune about solfege from the 1965 film, “The Sound of Music.” Starring as a children’s nanny, Julie Andrews sings this song as a way to teach her students about the major scale intervals. (See the YouTube video below.)

A while back, my wife turned me on to a TV show she used to watch as a kid. It’s called “Sliders” and it starred Jerry O’Connel. We watched a bunch of old reruns. And even though it was pretty low budget, the idea was pretty cool. Basically, it’s kind of a science fiction theme.

I’m excited about the new year for several reasons. Some of them are dorky — like the fact that 12 is one of my favorite numbers (you know, because there are 12 notes in the chromatic scale). And some of them are just downright cool — like the fact that we’ll be launching a number

Ahhh … people are interesting. This is a cool picture. And it’s of musician Josh Pyke as he filmed the video for his song, “Make You Happy.” The special boat was created to the exact specifications of the Maton acoustic guitar that he plays. For the record, Pyke does not regularly ride through the Sydney

“Holy crap! Check out this expert juggler performing with the classic Beatles song, “Golden Slumbers/The End.” Your mind will officially be blown. (Also, you might notice some interesting number patterns going on here … he’s keeping beat with music in 4/4 time … while juggling three balls … with two hands. It’s beautiful.) Thank you

Remember rebus puzzles? Here comes round two! First, let’s get warmed up with a few examples. The answer is just below each box, so no turbo-scrolling. Alright, alright, that was practically a freebie. It’s “See you later.” You must know this one. Did you come up with “I have seen you two before?” This next
