Wow. I didn’t know the book The Golden Compass was being made into a movie! I found the movie website just now while Stumbling. I remember the book being about a girl named Lyra and her daemon, a large white bear, who go off looking for…I’ve got to reread that book! I recall witches and aurora borealis and grand battles and that it was part of a series by Philip Pullman.
Now I have a daemon of my own, compliments the website:
How did I not know about this? Music lover that I am, I was totally floored when I “Stumbled” on the FoxyTunes Planet just now.
FoxyTunes Planet is a music aggregator. You do a search for an artist, you get a page with a summary of the artist, all the YouTube videos by the artist, similar artists on last.fm, Google search results, music on Rhapsody, albums on Amazon, tunes you can listen to on the Hype Machine, Pandora radio, Flickr photos, and lyrics from LyricWiki!
Wow. Consider me your new biggest fan, FoxyTunes. Oh, and did I mention there is a Firefox extension, too?
What could possibly be funny about Alanis Morrisette singing My Humps? Yeah, okay. If you make it through the whole thing without laughing, I’ll eat my blog.
edited to add: You know, I like her vocals better than Fergie’s. No, really. They’re shiver-inducing, in an I-can’t-believe-I’m-taking-this-seriously kind of way.
