I'm desperately in need of new music. So, let's have a contest. Post in the comments the title and artist of two relatively recent songs you really like. Include your email so I can contact you if you win.

Songs I've liked lately:

"Put It Back Down" and "Spectacular" by Seymour Bits
"Bang Bang Bang" by Mark Ronson
"Indestructible" by Robyn
"Gotta Do" by Quentin Harris
"Fancy Footwork" by Chromeo
"Wolf Like Me" by TV on the Radio

I'll send a copy of the Threadless book to two random winners.

UPDATE: Speaking of music, Martin Brown just posted his top 100 of 2010 as four downloads.

So, see if you can Name That Movie! as you test your movie trivia knowledge and learn more than 1,000 SAT, ACT, GED, and GRE vocabulary words from Mean Girls, The Notebook, Wedding Crashers, Pride & Prejudice, Miss Congeniality, Shrek 2, and more!
