Here are another 5 quick picks for you, the loyal reader:<\/o:p><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

\"fastball_little_150\"MUSIC: Fastball \/ Little White Lies<\/i><\/b> \u2013 Fastball first came into the public\u2019s consciousness in the late 1990s with hit singles like \u201cThe Way,\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re An Ocean\u201d and \u201cOut Of My Head.\u201d Having recently released their fifth full-length, Little While Lies, the Austin-based band is active as ever. As evidenced by a performance this writer was able to attend at Manhattan\u2019s City Winery, the hooks of Miles Zuniga and Tony Scalzo remain appealing, energetic and harmony-driven as ever.

BOOK: Tom Davis \/ Thirty-Nine Years Of Short-Term Memory Loss<\/i> <\/b>\u2013 As a writer for Saturday Night Live<\/i> starting with the first season and Al Franken\u2019s writing partner for nearly 20 years, Tom Davis has some stories to tell. While he\u2019s the first to admit that his memory is not as sharp as it ought to be, Davis is able to keep readers entertained with anecdotes that explore his \u201cSNL\u201d existence and beyond. Expect cameos from Dan Aykroyd, Jerry Garcia, and other greats along the way. (groveatlantic.com\/grove<\/a>) <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

TOOL: The Savvy Explorer<\/i> <\/b>\u2013 Led by editor Michael Tulipan, The Savvy Explorer<\/i> picks up where Lonely Planet<\/i>, Fodor\u2019s<\/i> and other sources have often fallen short. A travel site written by regional experts, readers can expect information that focuses on quality but also provides tips on how money can be saved. In its infant stage, the site currently features cities on four continents, with more content being added almost daily. (thesavvyexplorer.com<\/a>) <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

FILM: Tyson<\/i> <\/b>\u2013 Mike Tyson has long been one of the most controversial athletes due to many of his actions outside of the boxing ring. Directed by James Toback, Tyson<\/i> is a documentary told entirely in the boxer\u2019s words, as mixed with archival footage. Within the film, Tyson sheds light on a number of events on which he has rarely commented before, showing unexpected emotion in the process. Not a lot of laughs to be expected, but such is not necessary when the story is this compelling. (sonyclassics.com\/tyson<\/a>)<\/b> <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

ARTICLE: David A. Kessler \u201cThe War On Our Waistlines\u201d <\/b>\u2013 In the final issue of Best Life Magazine, David A. Kessler provides insider knowledge, as learned in being the former commissioner of the FDA. Going \u201cinside the wild world of food processing,\u201d Kessler explains how many Americans are unknowingly falling prey to food additives. In turn, consumers are unable to maintain ideal health and\/or fitness. The article is not meant to be a total killjoy, rather a means of leading more people to eat mindfully.
