Devon: National Geographic Channel Documentaries

February 27th, 2009

I’m a sucker for documentaries. The National Geographic Channel just did a great documentary on Air Force One. They got unprecedented access to both the plane and the presidents who rode aboard it. It’s just interesting. Happy Friday! Devon

First Spin: Starsailor – All The Plans

February 26th, 2009

Chorley, England’s Starsailor have been going strong for close to ten years now so they’re clearly not newcomers to the game of languishing Britpop ballads.
