Adele
Amy, Lily, Duffy, Buffy, ok the last one was a vampire slayer, but most would agree that we need another British female "soul singer" like Texas needs another hurricane, but if u will, please dedicate a minute or twenty to the latest Brit soulstress...Adele
Though she may lack a drug addiction or lesbian lover, she can wale with the best of them.
So please, don't give her the cold shoulder $

Abe Vigoda
Abe Vigoda sounds like Vampire Weekend on crack.
With tribal infused punk grooves and band members who look like they just passed the 10th grade, u can see how they easily mesh with VW on their current tour.
Abe Vigoda is a part of LA's emerging punk scene and frequently plays at The Smell which also hosts other noise rock fav's No Age.
Their latest lp, "Skeletons" hasn't garnered the same critical praise that "Nouns" has, but its definitely just as good, if not better$

The Turner and Kane project
The Shadow Puppets, the side project of Alex Turner and Miles Kane who each handle vocal duties for the Arctic Monkeys and The Rascals respectively, kinda makes u wish more American indie kids would have grown up listening to Beatles and Bowie$

Youth Has No Age
I've found that the smaller the band, the greater its creativity.
No Age is compromised of two people; a drummer and a guitarist, so you can imagine how much creativity is jammed into their debut disc Nouns, out now on Sub Pop records.
The first single off the lp, Eraser, is pure art rock magic., containing that great combination of illusiveness and accessibility.
No matter how old you are, No Age is worth a listen, but don't take my word for it, ask Colin Greenwood $

Bowling For Primary Time
As you may have heard, every single day for the past two months, today is Pennsylvania's Primary.
The latest pols show Hillary Clinton with a seven-point lead over Barack Obama. That's about three points higher than a week ago, but thirteen points lower than a month ago.
What does this all mean?
First, although a candidate will never become Pope by attacking their opponent, it appears that it does have a negative affect on them.
Though many of us cringed during the first forty minutes of last week's ABC debate, some of us began to wonder if a man with seemingly so much baggage could be electable.
Second, Pole-liticians, have been repeatedly wrong about their predictions. Polls offer a great insight into what could/should happen, but what actually does happen can not be accurately predicted by surveying five percent of a population.
The point is, Clinton might loose, she might win, she might "win", she might win big, she might win small, but we're all going to be having the same discussion again in three weeks so you might as well just go pick up the new Madonna album Hard Candy $
Vent:
MSNBC's Dan Abrams asked allowed last night, "Senator Clinton is ahead in Pennsylvania, so why is Barack Obama still the presumptive nominee?" Honest rhetoric coming from a person who's "hard news" show reflects a Spiderman Comic. But maybe Mr. Abrams could ask one of his interns to check out that thing called delegate count and maybe the great philosopher will find his answer $
