blogname?

So, this might be a question primarily for Deepak, but why is the name of this blog what it is?

Female Pop Artists

OK..this came up an hour ago. Are there any songs by female pop artists that you like (that you may be a bit embarrassed to admit)? I find myself listening to The Fear by Lily Allen (Embedding disabled...boo).

I also listen to Aimee Mann who is kind of pop...but not really (not embarrassed of this fact).

book recommendations

Hey gang,
I have an Amazon online gift certificate that I need to use. I'd like to buy some interesting books that I can see myself rereading often, and I don't feel like buying novels since I'd rather get those from a library. Basically, I'm looking for "cool" books that I want to have in my bookshelf 2, 5, 10, 30 years from now and pick up and say "Yeah, this book is cool. I should read through it again." So far, my list is:
-Logicomix, by Apostolos Doxiadis
-Diagramless Crosswords, by Brendan Emmett Quigley
Sooooo crossword books don't really fit my description above, but whatever. Any other ideas?

netflix recommendations!

OK...in the comments section put down some movies that you recommend.

I Should Explain

So last night, some of us were discussing Netflix recommendations, and I considered starting an email chain. Then I realized that starting a blog for things like this is a nice way to include more people and to let people have as much involvement as they want.

So yeah...this blog isn't just for movie recommendations, but really for anything that you want all of us Pittsburgh people to know about, whether its an internet video or a link of interest or something relevant to a conversation that came up during the day.

So that was the idea...lets see how this turns out.

First post!
