On a solid recommendation, I've been listening to a lot of Philadelphia's Kurt Vile. I have a feeling he's going to be instrumental in getting me through the winter. A little bit like Atlas Sound with a Devendra Banhart twist. Vile matches simple, eccentric lyrics with very intricate, distorted but welcoming melodies that make you want to curl up with a comforter and stay in bed all day.
For anyone who's interested in the current political climate in Haiti there was a great piece in the New Yorker recently that discussed Wyclef's rejection as a candidate and the country's prospects for progress post-earthquake. Thirty percent of Haiti's public servants died in the earthquake. Try running a recovery project with that staff scenario.
On a lighter note, Campus Progress has a fun little article on what white people, black people and middle eastern people like, according to their OK Cupid profiles.
