Reading Bossypants made me want more Tina Fey. So I’m doing a 30 Rock marathon. A Tina Feystival if you will.

The Joy Of Easy Listening
When I was young (in the sixties) my parents weren’t really into music. But we had the radio on all the time. We listened to Easy Listening stations. This naturally drove me crazy. But it also embedded these songs in my head.
This BBC 4 documentary (below in six parts) is well worth watching if you’ve either never really heard of Easy Listening or if you (as I did) simply dismissed it as irrelevant.

As far as I can tell what’s happening in Toronto government right now is kind of a filibuster by the people.
