I remember so many good times that I had with my friends growing up when I was listening to Blink-182. They were by far one of my favorite bands over the years. I was, of course, devastated when they broke up but I knew that I had the old stuff to listen to. So I’m pretty exciting about all this new music that Blink-182 is getting ready to release!

I’ve been blogging quite a bit about it on my music blog and while I was reading up on it a little bit more a few nights ago, I ran across the website DOMAINNAMES.com. I had been thinking about moving my blog onto my own website, so I looked through the site and decided to buy a domain for my brand new blog.

I really can’t wait for this new Blink 182 album to come out so I can review it. I think I might do a big week-long special leading up to the big review. Needless to say, I’m really excited for the new Blink-182 material

Must-See TV Shows Today

There is nothing like watching a good television series as a form of relaxation. Here are a few television series you should definitely see.

 The Vampire Diaries – This is one of the highest rating shows of today. It is currently on hiatus and season 2 just ended. This is the perfect time for you to catch up Elena, Damon, Stefan and the rest of the citizens on Mystic Falls. Who do you think should end up with Elena? Are you for Damon or for Stefan?

 Pretty Little Liars – Season 2 just started for this tv adaptation of the book series with the same title, written by Sara Shepard. Follow the lives of Spencer, Aria, Hanna and Emily as they try to figure out who really killed Allie and figure out who is behind the identity of “A”.

 How I Met Your Mother – It’s currently on a hiatus but it has been revealed that CBS has picked up the show for another 2 seasons. It tells the story of 5 friends and their misadventures, Ted is telling his children about how he met their mother but so far, it has yet to be revealed. Season 6 ends with Ted being the best man at Barney’s wedding. Who is Barney marrying? And who is Ted’s wife? We will find out when Season 7 comes sometime later in 2011 or early 2012.

 Glee – It is definitely one of the most popular television series on TV right now. It is currently on hiatus because Season 2 just ended but it has already been picked up for a 3rd season.

Whenever one uses the term radio, the first thing that comes to mind is the old transistors that people used to use to either catch up with the news or the latest scores of their favorite teams or even listening to programs of music by your favorite.

However, there is one serious limitation with listening to local radio stations with due emphasis on the word ‘local’ as there are very few stations to choose from.

Yet that’s not the only reason why you should think of listening to music or whatever you would like to catch up on using the medium of free internet radio, so here are a list of reasons as to why you should do so:

Reason #1: A wide variety of programming to choose from

Since the internet has so many stations that stream their programming from several countries, this means that the options that are open to listeners are aplenty. Again this depends on the type of radio that you enjoy listening to (take for example, top 40) because there are several radio stations that cater to programming related to this type of entertainment.

Reason #2: Doesn’t cost you a dime

Even though Napster did themselves in by really ripping off bands and musicians off their royalties, the radio in its online form remains untouched by these events. Since you can listen to it but not own it, this format has been accepted by all musicians in general. No matter what you do, listening to internet radio for free is free of cost and will always stay that way.

Reason #3: All you need is a broadband connection and a set of speakers

With technological advancements such as the internet, the iPod and so on and so forth, listening to the radio is not just limited to a music player but all it requires (if you want to try listening to internet radio) is a broadband connection, a computer and a set of speakers.
