Walking around with your head in the clouds/Makes no sense at all/Makes no difference at all

I got nothing!
Seriously folks, it is a dull day for baseball. They even are repeating the Home Run Derby just for kicks and giggles. So, feel free to hit your “back” browser unless…you want some trashy non-baseball news and updates (below.) Hey, what other baseball blog can you read about Willie Nelson Day, David Cook and Husker Du?

Non-baseball but no less important

You heard it here first folks! Saturday, July 19 is Willie Nelson Day at the Electric Fetus record store. You won’t want to miss this! I’ll be there and maybe Willie will be too (he’s playing at a casino the night before.)

Okay, I stopped reading. There are some pretty damn boring categories.

New purchases
Remember when I was fangirling over Urban Outfitters and the Obama t-shirts? Well, I fell in love with two watches on the site and ordered those online. Right now they are (as if they weren’t inanimate objects) in Georgia and heading north! Hopefully I will have them soon so I can impress ya’ll with my rocking new style. Ha.

Music of the Day - Hometown pride
I decided it was time to share all the great music that has come out of my fine state. Each day I will highlight a local guy/gal/group that has influenced the world of music. Everyone from Husker Du to Prince to Paris Bennett (from American Idol.) They may differ in music but they all have a connection to Minnesota. Hey, I learned something new and maybe you will too.
