Thanks everyone for another year of great music tips and other info! Have a nice Holiday.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Celebrate Buy Nothing Day by sitting on your derriere

Traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year, the Friday after
Thanksgiving sends millions of Americans, drone-like, to the malls to
kick-start the holiday consumption orgy. But before you foil-wrap
the roast beast and stash the organic cranberry dressing in the
fridge, consider celebrating another holiday: Buy Nothing Day.
Officially observed Nov. 26 this year in the U.S. and Nov. 27
internationally, Buy Nothing Day calls on consumers -- formerly known
as "people" -- to forego the siren song of day-after sales and
protest overconsumption. Activists the world over will be staging
events to highlight facts like this: 20 percent of the world's
population consumes more than 80 percent of its natural resources.
Americans alone throw away 5 million more tons of trash between Thanksgiving and Christmas than during any other month. Do your part to curb the waste by doing, well, nothing.
