Sarah's Pick of the Week: Cool Wall Decals!

Sarah says you can do all your holiday shopping online! Start by sprucing up your house (or a loved one's) with really cheery wall decals from Blik! Great for people who love pretty things but are too lazy to paint or apply wallpaper.

Sarah's favorite decals:

Moujan Says: Vote or Die!

With the election less than 2 weeks away, MZ is freaking out and wants to make sure we all vote. However, one of her biggest pet peeves are ignorant voters. So, come election day, don't anger MZ and fail America: GET TO KNOW THE ISSUES BEFORE YOU VOTE.

And how? Read your election guide or look at one online. Check out NYTimes, MSN, Washington Post, Google, and CNN - to name a few.

Now, i'm thinking maybe i shouldn't vote..

if I don't that means i'll get to meet Moujan Z in person.. which would be awesome for at least 4-5 minutes until she kills me.

Great list Heather!

Not my top 10 of course but I really can't complain about any of those bands they're all awesome. Really stoked that you thought Stars were #1, I saw them in LA last year at the Orpheum and am going to see them again here in their hometown in November. My friend is their touring guitarist so I'll get to go backstage :)

I've seen New Pornographers and K-Os in concert before too and they both put on a fantastic show.

FYI MSTRKRFT is fronted by one half of Death From Above 1979!

Also, great calendar, way to turn creepy suggestions on their head.

Oh, and for you music fans missing Muxtape, check out blip.fm, it's Twitter meats Music suggestions. Totally awesome.

I'm totally loving the new top 10 music segment. It makes me like Heather a lot more opposed to the isolated ego heavy review in the past. Not to mention Sarah would give us here recommendations straight after that. I like the Sarah's chemistry and it makes Heather look A LOT less uptight.

On the viewer questions stuff, I think that pointing to an answer or one of the thousands of good answers on the web that would be a good idea.

Ditto.

I'm just glad I didn't see Jay, Martin, and Patrick in speedos. That's what I was definitely afraid of.

What's the name of that jazzy song that started playing a few seconds after the gals started talking about Vincent Moon and temporaryareas[dot]com?

P.S.— Thanks for introducing me to “Stars”.
