Song of the Day: Brandenburg Concerto #2, Movement 1 by Johann Sebastian Bach
I don’t know much about classical music, but I know I love it. Call me a pleb, but… baroque music sometimes runs together. It doesn’t absorb my attention; it deflects it.

One of the film’s stand out moments is when the character played by Jason Segel (maybe my favorite…
Song of the Day: “Modern Major General (Salarian Style)” from Mass Effect 2
There’s no business like… Show Tunes Review Week business Mass Effect 2 is my favorite video game of all time. It’s absolutely brimming with great characters, phenomenal writing, and surprising moments. A lot of them are dramatic, like Jack’s breakdown during her romance scene, or semi-intentionally hammy, like Shepard shouting “this store discriminates against the…
