Scream has a new album out and you can hear and download a cool new song called Stopwatch on their website. I was looking at Scream’s website where you can download this hot track and noticed the call to get a babysitter and see them play. I can’t think of a better reason to get a […]

I was on the road (for my day job) and heard this cool version of the Technotronic hit – it’s like a cool gypsy journey 🙂 [clearspring_widget title=”Grooveshark Widget: Single Song” wid=”48f3f305ad1283e4″ pid=”4af786d23d7a65b8″ width=”400″ height=”300″ domain=”widgets.clearspring.com”] The band is called the Lost Fingers and they are sharp dressers!
