Youtube has turned into the new MTV



Today is now the day of Youtube when it come to music videos. Any thing you want right at your finger tips.
No more jack ass Vjays to deal with.
Exhibit A is Justin Bieber, undeniably one of the biggest stars this year. His latest single is called "U Smile." Jerry Wonda produced it, and it has spawned more than 17 million views on YouTube. But this week, the song is nowhere to be found on the charts.

"Baby" was a smash — it's the most viewed YouTube video of all time — but it peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. In a new list of the 100 biggest songs of 2010 published by Billboard, "Baby" doesn't appear until No. 44. Bieber is probably the best example of the way a young fan base is changing the definition of a hit.

To deal with the Bieber paradox, last week Billboard introduced yet another new chart — the Social 50. It ranks musicians' popularity by looking at sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. On that chart, Justin Bieber is No. 2.

Great Piece on www.npr.org about the new trend

Wine storage is key to the success of any collection



Proper storage of your favorite wine is one of the most important aspects of the wine experience. With this in mind, let's pop the cork.

First of all, if you purchase a bottle or two of wine to drink the same day or later that week, then storing is definitely not an issue. But when some great newly-acquired wines require longer storage, here are a few things to think about.


Take into consideration your budget and available space. It's not necessary to make the guestroom into a wine cellar. Many options exist, from simple wine racks that hold ten bottles to large cabinets that hold one hundred or more. Start small and work your way up.

As with all wine storage, proper temperature is essential. If it's too hot, the wine will suffer. In addition, keep the bottles away from direct sunlight or any unforeseen vibration, and be sure to lay them on their side. This will ensure a moist cork and the proper amount of oxygen seepage, which is vital to the aging process. If there is no convenient storage space, place both whites and reds in the refrigerator on their side rather than expose the wine to unwanted heat.

Many catalogs and internet sites specifically geared towards the wine lover are available for browsing or purchasing any type of storage unit. Also, check your local wine merchant for tips and suggestions on how to store and savor your favorite bottles.

Wine storage is key to the success of any collection. If you enjoy collecting find wines then you will want to look into the best of all wine storage options. There are many different ways to store your wine but no matter which wine storage solution you choose you will need to keep the conditions constant.



Your temporary wine storage options are a little simpler. Just before you serve your wine you will probably want to chill it, this of course depends on the wine. In order to store your wine for chilling you can look into cool wine storage solutions. Wine coolers are easy to find, you can find them in many department stores or wine stores. The Wine Rack Company in California is a great source for finding these types of wine storage options. http://www.thewinerackco.com
