Site of the week: So many of us want to keep up with pop music but feel overwhelmed by the possibilities. Few have time to browse for hours at a record store listening station. The iTunes music store helps, with its iMixes and “essentials” lists in categories you may already like. Another smart place to go is pitchforkmedia.com, an energizing mixture of album reviews, plugs for obscure bands and blogs about rock concerts, written by both amateurs and professionals.
Watch this Web video: Dancing with the stars, sure, but what about dancing with the toddlers? One of the more popular videos on Grouper this week is a break-dancing kid barely old enough to feed himself. Don’t try these moves at home, or even near an emergency room: Go to grouper.com/video/MediaDetails.aspx?id=1435143.
