You know you’re too busy when…

…you don’t have time to fill out your NCAA tournament brackets (men’s or women’s).

This is the first year in forever that I haven’t completed my brackets. And I turn on ESPN last night to discover that the first game of the men’s tournament was already under way. So I’ll just cut to the chase and give you my final fours:

Final Four – Men’s
Wisconsin
UCLA
Georgetown
Ohio State

Final Four – Women’s
Purdue
Tennessee
Stanford
Duke

Random 10 tunes

An idea stolen from Bob @ FlackLife, who posts his gems just about every Friday. My take is a bit different, because I’m playing mp3s on Winamp and using Predixis MusicMagic, which creates a playlist of tunes from your collection that are similar to a tune you pick. The song I selected was Wilco’s “War on War,” and here are the first 10 of the random 20 songs that MusicMagic’s formula somehow connected to that tune:

  1. “Take A Walk,” Spoon
  2. “Neighborhood 2 – Laika,” The Arcade Fire
  3. “Hotel California,” Less Than Jake (Eagles cover with a ska flavor)
  4. “I Will Follow,” U2
  5. “Take the Fifth,” Spoon
  6. “Go,” The Replacements
  7. “Sad Song,” Blue States
  8. “Just Desserts,” Chumbawumba
  9. “Plea from a Cat Named Virtue,” The Weakerthans
  10. “Cool’n’Out,” Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros

What’s in your playlist? Why not play along and share your own random 10 on your? If you do, please let me know and I’ll post a link from here.
