FORA.tv

I thought a few of you might be interested in FORA.tv, one of my favorite places on the Internet, especially during Election Year 2008. This "think tank" is usually the first place I go when I want to read about political issues, watch video of interesting seminars, or discuss issues on an internet message board without getting sledge-hammered over the head by political rhetoric. It's also a good way to attend virtual seminars and scholarly forums without having to pay tuition or wear a corduroy sport coat with elbow pads. And for those of you that are still single, there are lots of hot chicks, too.

True Love Will Find You in the End

I've loved this song ever since hearing Wilco cover it for a b-side to one of the Summerteeth singles. But I never really understood the song's significance until hearing the original Daniel Johnston version unfold during the final credits of the documentary film, The Devil and Daniel Johnston, (which I recommend if you want to learn more about the amazing real-life story of Daniel Johnston, his music and art, his mental health issues, and his family's unconditional love for him). Although the song has been performed by almost everyone except Clay Aiken, I think the recent performance by Spiritualized tops all of them.
