If you’re looking for Xmas music to add to your mix CDs, The Leather Canary has roughly 200 tracks available for download. Tis the season indeed! Thanks LC.

Get ready to get crunked up – Christmas style – with this new track from the Ying Yang Twins, appropriately titled, “Sleigh Ride”! Impose said, “the Ying Yang Twins just made me shoot egg nog out my nostrils with its holiday song ‘Sleigh Ride.’” So, uh, Enjoy!

Above you will find the trailer to some show (wonder which network is picking this up) that stars a social media consultant who is too busy living her internet life to make connections in her real life happen. I know we all use Facebook, blogs and Twitter to meet peeps, but who wants to sit through a show watching some self-indulgent person live out their anti-social fantasies stalking friends of friends? Epic fail.
