- Shirley Manson (Garbage) is going solo...which I'm seriously looking forward to hearing
- The White Stripes and Brendan Benson's solo careers may be over...instead, we get the Raconteurs...Did I mention "Steady As She Goes" is an awesome song?
- NPR interview with Dan Bejar (Destroyer) enlightens why the drummer for the New Pornographers is always so drunk in live performances...among other things
Non-Music:
Politics:
- A post columnist discusses the differing Republican and Democratic perspectives on what will determine the 2006 elections. One sentence summary: while the Republicans think voters will look at how their districts are being served, Democrats think voters will consider their happiness with the way the entire country is being run. I'm with the Republicans as far as the House in districts where the congress(wo)man has been in office for a longer period of time. In the Senate, national issues definitely matter much much more, and I think the Democrats will be able to get more done if they pick their candidates carefully.
- Meanwhile, Huckabee embraces destroying the separation of church and state. And Kos complains about it. My dismissal requires one word: McCain?
- So Nama stands for Nasty-Ass Military Area? Thanks Andrew.
- So truthful...Bush worries about how he'll be remembered. Only the Onion could hit the nail on the head so hard.
