Welcome to the pond

What's going on in the blogosphere the world of blogs today? Let's take a look:

• Fred at Doomed To Rock has graced us with an explanation of "pretentious art rock" in this post. I'm not much a fan of art rock, but I have to say that Fred explains the genre very well and even gives us a sample playlist.

• Quirkychick has some interesting things to share lately. She tells tales of disappearing lunches, young boys who are proud of their mom, and people who call the wrong number and insist they called the right number.

• Steven Perez has a link on his blog about the latest hijinks of the RIAA. He's not happy about it. No sir, he's not happy at all.

• Deni Bonet has a new contest up here! She wants to see what bad art you have in your house, and she has prizes for the worst example sent in.

Those are some of the more interesting posts I've seen lately. Thank goodness for the option on Bloglines to save posts! I think the "make a link" button on my Blogger editor has had enough use for one day, so I'll see you all tomorrow with some memes!
