Linkorama

Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long. Not a lot new to report other than I hate Comcast and the Twins are disappointing me.

I'm planning a trip to New Orleans for Thanksgiving to work with the St. Bernard project. There was an article about them in today's Washington Post which is worth checking out. A great organization in an area that desperately needs them.

This weekend I went to River Rocks music festival which was very cool. The main acts that I wanted to see were Jakob Dylan. I've put his song "War is Kind" here which is great. I know this is a poorly done political video but it was the only version of the song I could find. It does have some poignant images amongst the political ones though.



Another band that I was excited to see was Semisonic. I love their frontman Dan Wilson with his solo material (also known for writing a lot of material for the Dixie Chicks album). Here's their song "Chemistry". An oldie but a goodie from hometown boys made good.

And finally, after missing out on seeing them either 13 or 14 years ago, I saw Live. They were the spring concert at American either my sophomore or junior year but procrastinating me had a ton of papers to write before the next Monday so my friends thought it would be in my best interest if they stole my ticket. Here's one of their greatest songs "Heaven"

So there's some material to entertain although not a lot of news from Minneapolis. Have a great day and let's hope that the Twins can get their act together as time is almost out!
