MizMuze is baaack!  Still working on the plan for world domination, however, it has proven to be much more difficult to do now that I can’t blog during work hours.  OK, I’m stealing office time right now as MizMuze’s secret hiding place has yet to be discovered (mwahahaha!)…but before I’m caught, I better make this quick…

Check out the amazing lineup for this year’s 2011 Coachella Festival which will take place on 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 with headliners Kings of Leon the first night, Arcade Fire the second night, and Kanye West plus The Strokes the last night! 

BTW, MizMuze has heard your pleas to bring back the Song of the Day, so stayed tuned for the return of the SOTD very soon…
