Crazy Bobbles

I can't figure out exactly who this is, but I guess it's some guy who really likes Muse and so does covers of their songs. Here are a couple for you to enjoy:

First: Supermassive Black Hole


And Second: Punintended (Unintended)


There's a third track on his blog, but it's not very good.

I love it when an older artist or band comes out with something that reminds me of why I loved them in the first place.

Daniel at the Park

We took Pippin to the park the other day. He loves (I mean... LOVES) swings. He thinks slides are okay too.
