Wolfmother

In my CD player right now is an album by a band called Wolfmother. If you were to put Ozzy Osbourne and the White Stripes into a jar and shake it up, then you would have Wolfmother. It is a nice blend of the two sounds. Just good, old-fashioned rock and roll. The library doesn't own anything by them yet, but you might come across it second hand and remember this blog and want to give them a try.

Hustle

I just watched a BBC TV series called Hustle. It is about a group of con-artists in London. Now if you are thinking you don't want to watch a show about people being ripped off, then don't worry because this group of 5 friends has a code to only con the immoral. They pick people to hustle that you want to see lose some money, and it is so fun to see how the con will go down. Another part of the show that I really enjoyed was the friendship that occurs between this group of people; they are very much like a family. Plus the shows are well written and well acted, so I would definitely say, "Give it a Try!"

Taking a Break from Typing Class Notes
