Coolest New Song Ever
Okay, so Kate Bush was piloting a day-glo sleigh full of munchkins over the happiest rainbow ever. No, really.
Passion Pit's Sleepyhead.
And the live version sounds shockingly good, too.

From The Bottom Of The Glass
Back to the lounge at the Racine Comfort Inn, where indie bands stare into their Maker's Mark and catch the irrefutable reflection of their own DNA.
Such as it is for Northern Portrait...
...as the whiskey beads away from the ice in their glass and the letters begin to appear... T... R... A...

Back To Racine
Into the lounge, past the dark corner, over to the happy hour buffet at the Comfort Inn.

Another Tearful Reunion
And in another corner of the lounge in the Racine Comfort Inn, Gaslight Anthem's celebratory toasts are interrupted...

Domestic Affairs
Good to see we've got the illegal immigration problem on the run.
"The drop reflects the weakness of the economy, particularly the sectors that employ undocumented workers like construction," said Harley Shaiken, a professor at UC Berkeley specializing in labor issues, said there are a number of powerful forces reducing the numbers of undocumented immigrants. "People are less likely to risk everything to get here if they can't get a job."
Because, you know, how many squatters do you see in burning buildings.
