What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published May 5, 2008 at 4:15 p.m.

It's 4:15, it's Monday and you need a little pick-me-up. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we offer a double shot of Mexican-tinged music on our "Time-wasting Video of the Day." The first selection features Los Lobos playing "Chuco's Cumbia" at the 2006 Austin City Limits Festival.

The second clip features the ultra-talented Alejandro Escovedo joining Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band onstage in Houston for a performance of "Always a Friend."

Enjoy. And, Happy Cinco de Mayo.
