Top 50 Songs of 2009 [Part One]
This has been a CSMB tradition since its inception on Christmas Eve 2007. Last year, I made the bold (and preposterous) decision to select my Top 100 Songs of the year. This year I’m back to a more manageable 50.
What I’ve learned from compiling these lists is that I never listen to enough music released during the year to stand by my list as the best of the year. To say that would be ignorant....

The Public Library: Home of the McPoyle
I haven’t been to a public library since I got my library card when I was in second grade and lost it the week after. Today I went back and sweet sassy mollassy has it changed…
Here is a helpful diagram to help describe the people surrounding myself:

Peter Gammons Says Goodbye to ESPN →
halftimehennessy:
In memory-filled statement on ESPN.com, Peter Gammons (The GOAT) bids farewell to the network. In the goodbye, he quickly spans his twenty years at ESPN with brief anecdotes from year to year.
“Twenty years later, I am leaving ESPN, and it has been wrenching and will be treacherous. My lifetime friends — Jayson and Tim, Buster, Jerry, and others — have given me the parting...

Halftime Hennessy →
Halftime Hennessy is a new sports blog that I’ve been asked to contribute to. The staff is growing by the day and so are the quality posts. So check it out, follow it, spread the word. There is plenty of sports commentary and hilarity to ensue.
Also, I’d like to extend a thank you out to our namesake, Ron Artest, for his timely comments on his halftime drinking habits.

DEADSPIN: Nick Kroll on "The League" →
To what extent is the show “semi-improvised” like Curb Your Enthusiasm? Is Paul Scheer dressing himself? The show is set up very similarly to Curb. Jeff Schaffer (who created the show with his wife Jackie) has been one of the writers and directors of Curb for the last number of years so he knows exactly how to do it. The scenes are never written in script form, they’re all...

Airplane Repo Men →
owenparsons:
Someone is making a new reality show about the world of aircraft repo men. They seem like regular repo men, in that they have to be sneaky and sometimes they risk getting hurt trying to take things back from crazy people, but they’re different in two big ways:
A) The people whose property is being repossessed were rich enough to afford aircraft and, therefore, are rich enough to...
