The “whirligig beetle” (its nickname comes from the fact that it swims rapidly in circles when it’s spooked) is now officially the orectochilus orbisonorum. […]

The Grammys Are TV Bound!!

Like every Rockaholic across the USofA (and a few foreign places here and there), the Relic’s happy to see that the Grammy Awards won’t be affected by the writers’ strike and will go on as scheduled!
