    The fun part of this was the two discussants talking about whether there should be a bibliography in Gaga's disc liner notes. I understand the futility of that idea, but man, I wish that was required of all CDs. What fun! "My influences are..."

    I'm feeling a little old - can't believe believe that Ace of Base is from 16 years ago.

    Wow, I am shocked to find out that the group was called Ace of Base and not Ace of Bass.  I don't recall ever seeing the name written, but I always kind of assumed they had gone with the musical pun.

    I'm more shocked that NPR is just getting to a story every goofy morning show in America cracked weeks ago.

    The beginning of "Alejandro" is a pretty good squat routine. Throw in some sit ups and push ups and it's a decent body weight workout.

  6. I always think of "La isla Bonita" when I hear "Alejandro"...
