Hey, I promised to tell all of you guys when our chocolate was for sale. Well we now have them for sale. Right now just the Madagascar bars are for sale but we’ll have the Ocumare at our shipper either the end of this week or beginning of next week.

Battlestar Galactica – Building Interest
So did Battlestar Galactica maintain the return to form that last week’s extremely well done episode brought? It was, in my opinion, far more of a mixed bag. The bits with Baltar were very compelling. Further we figure out just how much the humans know about Baltar. The big question was how much more he was going to give up.

In My Time of Dying…
Over at my blog I had up a discussion of what books I’d read on my death bed. Everyone expected philosophy but pretty much I’d confine myself to poetry and physics for the most part. It got me thinking though. What songs would I want to be listening to in my last days? I nearly put it up at my philosophy blog but figured folks here would probably have more interesting suggestions.

Name These Cheesy Rock Tunes
I’ve spliced together clips of songs to see how many you can all identify. This week’s clips are all of a brand I like to think of as “cheeserock.” Yes, that means mostly 70′s/80′s stuff.
I’ll give you a day or two to make your guesses, then I’ll post the answers. There are clips from 18 songs this time.
Song clips are in the radio.blog: “Name These Cheesy Rock Tunes”
NOTE: You might want to listen and make your guesses before reading the comments, or other people’s guesses might spoil your fun.
UPDATE: I’ll paste the answers in down below. If you haven’t had a chance to make your guesses, don’t click on the “more” link until you have!

Deerhoof—Friend Opportunity
Deerhoof is one of the coolest bands around. They’ve been making some of the most exciting, consistently excellent music since the turn of the millenium. They are now a trio, having amicably parted ways with one of their guitarists, Chris Cohen, since their critically well-received 2005 album, The Runners Four. With that album they made a bit of a departure from the abrasive, noisy, abstract sound of their previous several albums towards accessibility and songiness. Friend Opportunity takes them further down that accessible rock road. Normally I might complain about that kind of shift, being as how I’m a sucker for quirky musical experimentation, but Deerhoof haven’t become less interesting as they’ve become more accessible and Friend Opportunity is just too good to complain about.

The Other Big Two
OK, this was originally going to be called The Big Three. But someone covered Heroes before me. But what about the other two big shows of the week? The return of Battlestar Galactica and the first post apocalypse 24?
