What If You Had To Ask?
I guess this is at least a couple of years old, but I’ve not seen it before. Well done.
Feist – My Moon, My Man / Sealion Woman
The groove, the playing, the style, the voice, the band, the look; Feist totally has it all. And this performance of the song “My Moon, My Man” is completely flawless. Go ahead, I dare you: find a flaw.
Sometimes one just isn’t enough:
Can “No Homo” Be Anything But Anti-Gay?
While it’s not really part of my kids’ playground world yet, I do know that it lies in wait just around the corner in Middle School.? And while I’m a big no-fan of telling people what they can and can’t say, I’m an even bigger fan of not being an idiot and knowing the impact of words.? I didn’t know the history of the phrase “No Homo” (didn’t even know it had been around for so long) and found this video informative, interesting, and more than a little clever and funny.
Jay Smooth on “No Homo” and reclaiming insults that are not used to insult you:
Who Is Sexier: Rachel Maddow or John Stewart?
I just can’t decide. The two of them together, though…now that’s HOT!
Swingers – One Good Reason
My good friend James Gossard and I used to swap mix-tapes where one of us would do a side and give it to the other to do a “response” side. I learned about some music from James that I probably never would have found where it not for those mix-tapes. Among the songs I still have on tape, but that I’ve had an impossible search for digital versions of, is this one from the New Zealand band Swingers. I’ve never seen the movie this video is from, but am certainly intrigued.
Everything is Amazing Right Now and Nobody’s Happy.
Louis C.K., like any great comedian, tells the truth but makes it funny enough for you not to despair. Thanks to Bill for posting after Kate pointed out Merlin’s post to him (there, is that enough credit?).

Antony: If It Be Your Will
I’d only heard him singing on the CocoRosie song “Beautiful Boys,” and honestly didn’t even know it wasn’t one of the sisters.? This version of the Leonard Cohen song “If It Be Your Will” is amazing…spine-tingling. Shake that Devil, the first song I’ve heard from the upcoming record by Antony and the Johnsons sounds great as well.
Charles Meets Barack
Charles is a volunteer from Boulder, CO who won a raffle to meet Barack at the rally in Denver a few days ago. It’s great to hear the perspective of someone who has been around as long as Charles has and who saw first hand what FDR did to pull us out of the Great Depression.
