Recently, I've been falling asleep to 30 Rock S2 Disc 2, starting with "MILF Island" and twice this week (once last night and once the night before), I've had 30 Rock / Tina Fey dreams.  Tuesday night, I had a dream that I was hanging out with Liz Lemon and Jenna Maroney and...

With eight days left before Christmas, I wanted to spend today looking at several new Christmas albums on the shelves this season - perhaps a last minute gift guide for those who love Christmas music. This is my third review this morning and thanks to my friends at First Presbyterian Theater, I neve...
