		<description><![CDATA[These appear to be updates for two weeks at a time.  However, I guess that keeps you guys in suspense on the off weeks, and gives you more to read on the post weeks.  

Why are there so many songs with non-obvious meanings.  Specifically, I am referring to songs that clearly have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time again for my random musical thoughts from the last two weeks and news about Music Discussions.

With all the talk of the Republican candidates travelling the country, I started wondering how campaign music is chosen?  What factors do the public relations staff take into consideration?  Style, lyrics, artist, popularity, how recent the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With last weekend being the new year, I did not have a chance to post anything.  So, I have combined last week&#8217;s news with this week&#8217;s for another double-article.

It strikes me as odd that one of my local radio stations played Christmas music through nearly the entirety of Advent, but stops immediately after the [...]]]></description>

I am not sure why the Boxee team are abandoning their users, but I will definitely be looking into other solutions since they no longer seem to care about [...]]]></description>

On NPR, I learned about Tuba thefts from schools in California.  My question is [...]]]></description>

Some of the problems are, admittedly, on my [...]]]></description>

I apologize for the tangent, but supporting a company touting equality and love for one&#8217;s fellow human as well as supporting freedom of speech are more important [...]]]></description>
