The Trick to Perfect Easter Eggs–Don’t Boil Them, Bake Them!
Have you wondered if you can bake eggs rather than boil them? I honestly didn't, because I have more important things to wonder about, but I'm glad I found this tip! I can cook, but for some reason I always mess up hard-boiled eggs.
Fuel’s “Bad Day”–Laura’s Feel Good Song of the Day [VIDEO]
Yes, I understand today's Feel Good Song of the Day contradicts itself. But to be honest, not all FGSOTD's have been "feel good." Fuel's "Bad Day" (not to be confused with Daniel Powter's "Bad Day") was the 2001 release off the album Something Like Human.
Fatboy Slim’s “Praise You”–Laura’s Feel Good Song of the Day [VIDEO]
The best thing about this song isn't the song. It's the video. See kids? Flashmobs were invented well before youtube made them famous.
Another Minnesota Native Makes it on NBC’s “The Voice” [VIDEO]
Like Nicholas David and Tim Mahoney in seasons past, Minnesota had some representation on "The Voice" last night. Eden Prairie native Mark Andrew put his spin on another Minnesota native's (Bob Dylan) "Knockin on Heaven's Door." And yes, he did have a couple of chairs turn around for him.
Montell Jordan’s “Get it on Tonite”–Laura’s Feel Good Song of the Day [VIDEO]
1999's "Get It On Tonite" was the lead single released from Montell Jordan's fourth album, Get It On...Tonite.
The Latest “Harlem Shake”–Backstreet Boys Style [VIDEO]
Yes, that is a naked (well, aside from the Cat in the Hat hat, socks, and guitar) Nick Carter. And I heard that the Backstreet Boys originally wanted our Duluth Harlem Shake bunny, Tony Hart, to perform in their video, but he was booked that day...
Check Out “Mantresting”–the Pinterest for Dudes
Guys were either feeling left out that the ladies were having all the fun "pinning," or they decided it wasn't manly enough to sign up and start their own Pinterest account so they could be pinning. Now there's a new website that's just like Pinterest...only for Dudes.
Scissor Sisters’ “Take Your Mama”–Laura’s Feel Good Song of the Day [VIDEO]
The Scissor Sisters, a pop/rock band from New York, first saw success in 2004 with the official release of "Comfortably Numb," a disco cover of the Pink Floyd song. It reached number 10 in the UK, and this success was followed by "Take Your Mama" which went to number 17...

Taylor Swift’s “Trouble” Featuring…Ron Burgundy? [VIDEO]
We're all excited for the release of Anchorman II but until then, we'll have to settle for this. Taylor Swift teaming up with the Legendary Ron Burgundy for a "Trouble" remix. (Not really, but almost as great as the goat remix.)
Rihanna’s “Shut Up and Drive”–Laura’s Feel Good Song of the Day [VIDEO]
In another Rihanna "Feel Good Song of the Day" we go back to 2007 for the second single off her third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad. "Shut Up and Drive" has regularly been featured in Rihanna's live performances and tours, but no news on whether or not she'll be performing this one on Sunday at the Xcel...
Rihanna’s “We Ride”–Laura’s Feel Good Song of the Day [VIDEO]
"We Ride" from 2006 is Rihanna in a different light. It's Rihanna before we saw a different side of her thanks to Twitter and Instagram, before her infamous relationship with Chris Brown, and before she got her break on the big screen in "Battleship." "We Ride" is a much more innocent 18 year old Rihanna.
