Da Brits Da Bears Da Bulls Da Brits

I like the BBC's RSS feeds. (NOTE: If you haven't caught onto RSS feeds yet, do it now. I use Bloglines but there are others - it's not just for blogs but also for news and pretty much any cool websites. Here's an article from Slate on RSS and why it's AWESOME!)

It's fun to have the view on news from the otherside of the pond. Two stories I enjoyed today:

A BBC reporter outlines the celebration Austria is planning for the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth. For all you marketing majors out there - the description of the co-marketing between Mozart and yoghurt (as the Brits spell it) cracks me up.

Virgin Radio conducted a poll of 7,000 listeners to find out Brits' favourite songs. This year they are:

1. Imagine - John Lennon
2. Hey Jude - Beatles
3. Let It Be - Beatles
4. One - U2
5. Angels - Robbie Williams
6. Bohemian Rhapsode - Queen
7. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
8. Every Breath You Take - The Police
9. Hotel California - The Eagles
10. You're Beautiful - James Blunt

Are they on YOUR iPod?

Apparently they also do other polls - this one from 1995 shows Oasis topping the charts.

Finally, stolen from PlanetDan's blog, this list of 100 Things of 2005 is fun to read.
