Edible Politics

I started yet another blog. This one mainly serves as a place to post links to articles about food politics and to accumulate sidebar links to good organizations and books. If it sounds interesting to you please check it out. Comments are always appreciated. That especailly goes for my most loyal reader, Harry, who hasn't left me a comment in years and has a lot of wisdom and insight to share with the world (or rather, my small pool or readers)...

Study Breaks

Wed. I went to a talk by Jorge Cham, creator of the comic Piled Higher and Deeper--all about grad student life. He gave a good talk about the power of procrastination. There was free food afterwards.

Last night I saw Lyle Lovett. I want a 13 piece band (not counting Lyle) and 4 person Gospel to back up my songs sometime...

Recorded Today

Recorded 9 songs and the quality is awesome. Together with the live track I'm putting on it should be about 35 mintues.

I recoreded:

TSGFM
Ballad of Ben Linder
Back to the States
Going Away
A Tuesday in September
Natlie Portman
Toy Aisle
A Snowball's Chance in Hell
Rambl'n' On

Need to edit them a little to cut off fat, fade out, etc. Then I'll have a real CD!

We Actually Agree on Something...

"Life can't be all bad when for ten dollars you can buy all the Beethoven sonatas and listen to them for ten years." ~William F. Buckley, Jr.


(We agree on a lot of stuff about the War on Drugs, too).
