584. The Princess Bride (the book)

The movie is good, but the book is better.

583. The Marriage of Figaro

You'll recognize it, but you might not have been able to name it.

582. Sense and Sensibility

A novel about stuffy British people getting married.

581. Orpheus and Eurydice

Let's get some wedding-themed posts going. Orpheus descends to the underworld to bring Eurydice back to the world of the living. If you like game versions of these things, play Don't Look Back (and earn 20 points.)

580. Love Train

I can't be bothered to check whether I already listed this one. I didn't, did I?

579. Goldilocks and the Three Bears

What exactly is the moral supposed to be here? Is it just "Don't break into strangers' homes and rummage about?" Then why all the fuss with Goldilocks being so particular about things being just right?

578. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

The movie. I hear the book is good, too, though.

577. Bust That Cycle

An episode of a web show that encourages you to break out of your routines. (Many of the other episodes are also hilarious and/or poignant, too.)

576. The Crown Jewels

575. Fly Me to the Moon

Played by the Apollo 10 astronauts in the lunar orbiter. Listen here.

574. Freedom From Want

573. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi

572. A League of Their Own

571. Yerushalayim Shel Zahav

Listen here.

570. Battlestar Galactica

A show that explores the theme of what separates human intelligence from artificial intelligence. Also, it's about fighting robots in space.

569. The Invisible Man

Oh, and also the one that actually is about an invisible man.

568. Invisible Man

Not the one that's literally about an invisible man.

567. Greensleeves

566. The Red Badge of Courage

The Civil War was bad news.

565. The White House

564. Girls and Boys

It's been a while since I posted an album.

563. The 1961 Ferrari GT California

Better known as "the car from Ferris Bueller's Day Off".

562. She Loves You

Some songs are art because of the poetry of their lyrics. This one is not. But breaking new ground counts for a lot, too.

561. Michelangelo's Pietà

560. The Bells

A good poem to read aloud.

559. The Deer Hunter

Something about "You'll shoot your eye out" from A Christmas Story just made me think of this.

558. A Christmas Story

The movie with the Red Ryder BB Gun, not the short story with all the ghosts.

557. This Land Is Your Land

Happy Independence Day! Last year I went with a song that people misinterpret as being patriotic. This year I went with a Communist pro-America song. Listen here.

556. As Time Goes By

Play it again, Sam.

555. The Figure Five in Gold

I've been holding onto this one since day one. I'm glad I didn't miss my opportunity.

554. The Devil Went Down to Georgia

Listen here (but actually watching the video is not advisable.)
