Well, no matter who’s home at the White House, I would hope that the at the home of the Commander and Chief someone would be able to answer the phone before it ran 6 times for over 20 seconds.
And sleeping in a pants suit? Who does that…
Also, Jon Chait’s headline [...]

At the recent Brit awards, Rihanna performed last year’s smash Umbrella (yup, again) along with the Klaxons – a money British band who also had a great year with their debut album Myths of the Near Future that got remixed to hell and enjoyed great success in the club (like Rihanna).
But unfortunately the result of [...]

(Disclaimer – you are about to see some of the worst camera-phone pictures ever.)
Sorry for the late review, but last Thursday night Iota hosted an amazingly great show.
The headlining Headlights did not disappoint. Lead by duel lead vocals a la Stars, albeit a bit poppy-er, ran through a great set at the cozy, brick-walled [...]

I’m getting crazy excited about Sébastien Tellier’s upcoming album Sexuality – which is due out on February 25th. This is the French singer/songwriter/music pioneer’s 3rd album and is guaranteed to please, and adding to my excitement is its BBC Review that shares: “this is one for the connoisseurs” and not the mainstream [...]

To the delight of the Republican Party, with the direction the 08 Democratic Presidential Primary is heading, it is now almost a certainty that the Democratic Party’s nominee will be selected by someone other than the voters. That someone, that undemocratic someone will either be the DNC’s Superdelegates or their Credentials Committee.
The first possibility, the [...]

Voxtrot is a indie pop rock band that in my opinion has been up-and-coming since I heard their ‘06 single Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives (available on the band’s website), and definitely since they released their self-titled, first full length album last year.
They are the second Austin, TX based band on my Put On The [...]
