Monday night at 6pm is when this year’s Skate With the Canes event takes place. Tickets are $75 and fans are asked to bring their own skates to the event.
The Top 200 of the 2000s
Excuse me while I go off topic:
Over the past 50 days I’ve been sharing my countdown of the top 200 songs of the decade with my Facebook friends.
The countdown is complete
, and I’ve compiled the results, complete with YouTube, Rhapsody, and iTunes links. Rhapsody users get the added bonus of being able to immediately play the entire list or add it to their playlist collection. The 2000s weren’t dramatically different than the 1990s, to be honest, but it was a decade full of fantastic music.
