Expect to see Mandy on talk show circuit with clavinet-driven first single \u201cI Could Break Your Heart Any Day Of The Week\u201d serving as a good first taste.

In turn, he was onto a whole lot of recording artists before they struck gold. \u201cEvery Day Is Saturday\u201d is a coffee table book collection of Ellenby\u2019s shots from gigs and photo shoots. It is accompanied by a 21-track CD \u2013 including songs by Death Cab For Cutie, Rogue Wave and Beulah \u2013 and a foreword from X frontman John Doe. Excellent photography, to say the least.

The first episode features Jon Cryer while following ones include Jim Gaffigan, Alex Trebek and Jenna Elfman as sit-down guests. For those keeping score, a new edition goes up every Tuesday.

This site tracks Major League Baseball home-runs, providing video footage of said home-runs, their distances and the surrounding weather conditions at time of hit. That\u2019s all. Now imagine if that mind power were applied to fixing this country\u2019s problems.
