Albeit a bit morbid, this eclectic list is sure to expand your musical horizons.

The book-turned-Web site includes everything from ABBA to AC/DC. You can read the blog and buy albums.

You already know my beef with lists and who has the authority to to tell me what to listen to, watch and download. But, despite the lack of gangsta rap, this one seems legit.

I better get crackin' before I bite the dust.

The Knux and Fleet Foxes could be the new TV on the Radio and Kings of Leon. (hint: They might go mainstream soon.) Find out more about them and other hot groups here.

At 8 p.m. Monday, the world was introduced to Jason Mesnick, 32, the most eligible man in America according to ABC's "The Bachelor."

The catch? He's the father of a 3-year-old son. Read a recap of the episode here. Read a blog about the show here.

Holler at all the single parents out there. Do you agree with Mesnick going on the show? Is it harder to date when kids are involved? Click here to comment.

Jay-Z + Radiohead = Jaydiohead

There was just one word that came to mind when I listened to ten tracks of Hova rapping over Radiohead beats. Genius. New York City beatmaker DJ Minty Fresh Beats is the mastermind behind this mashup.

In 2004, Danger Mouse took Jay-Z's lyrics and paired them with the Beatles' "White Album" to make the "Grey Album." Who should Hova rap with next?

Weekend roundup

I was dreaming when I wrote this...

My weekend technically started Wednesday night, so this roundup includes New Year's Eve. This year, I partied like it was 2009. Seriously, when Prince's song came on, I yelled "2009" each time he said "1999."
