I’m not really a big fan of zoos. The animals always look depressed — especially the primates. But, my dad and I had a great time at a wildlife park and aquarium near Phoenix last week. Check out the slideshow:

I recently discovered an Australian band called Sneaky Sound System. They’ve been popular in their native country for about three years and have recently been released in the U.K. They have a sound that reminds me of the 1980s band Bow Wow Wow.

Unfortunately, most of their singles can’t be purchased outside of Australia. So far, I like everything I’ve been able to get my hands on through iTunes’ U.K. store. Here’s the video for their latest single, 16. Let me know what you think.

The blogosphere is buzzing about American Idol contestant Adam Lambert. He is being called the show’s “first openly gay” contestant and people are wonder whether or not Americans will vote for him.

Photos alleged to be of Lambert tongue-kissing another guy have been posted all over the Internet for the past few days. So far, the authenticity of the photos has not been established. But, many are wondering whether or not the the guy being kissed in the photos will turn up in the American Idol audience as a boyfriend or maybe even a husband. The rumor is that the guy is named Brad and that he and Lambert have been a couple for years.

Of course, Lambert isn’t the first gay contestant on American Idol. Clay Aiken finally came out of the closet after years of denials. And, the show has had several non-winning contestants who set off everyone’s gaydar. Remember Danny Noriega?

I think Lambert should just be himself. If he’s in a serious relationship, he should bring the guy on the show and introduce him to America — just like the straight contestants do.

This has to be one of the most disturbing music videos I’ve seen in a long time. Depeche Mode’s new album is due to be released soon and this definitely has sparked my interest.
