Ok, ok, so the look is the same. But we got a fancy new header to top Scene & Heard off every single day! W00t! And yeah, I know... there aren't any subways in Pottstown, Phoenixville, Royersford, Reading, or anywhere around here. But I'm the blog from the underground in these parts, so it fits. Right? Plus, it looks too cool to not argue for the strong case it makes.

And stay tuned, that's not all that's been under construction here. Starting this Sunday, I'll post one Christmas song a day until Dec. 25 in a little something I'd like to call the 12 Songs of Christmas mix.

PLUS! With the 2008's curtain coming to a close, I'm getting help from some fellow Mercury staff for our favorite movies and music of the year to share with you. Expect lots of mp3s and YouTube clips to come.
