Everyone prides themselves on being awesome at music selection.
At least, that’s what everyone’s iTunes mix tells us. You go to one their parties, they put their iPod on “shuffle”, and for every one awesome song you have to sludge through two or three obscure tracks that are buried deep in their music catalog.

Web Watch loves karaoke as much as the next person – which is to say that sometimes we really love it, and sometimes we really hate it.
Karaoke is one of those party activities that you can’t plan on being a hit. If you have a karaoke machine in your living room, we guarantee that nobody will want to fire it up and start singing when you say, “hey, who wants to do karaoke with me?”
