		<title>Up In The Air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ryan Bingham loves his work, though most of us would find it deplorable. His job is to fly from city to city around the US and fire you from your job. Of course there&#8217;s a sophisticated terminology for this kind of profession and Bingham is the first to remind us that he&#8217;s a &#8220;transition specialist&#8221;, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Andrew Bird&#8217;s Noble Beast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 

Most works of western tonal music are characterized by the regular recurrence of rhythmically patterned pulses. Andrew Bird&#8217;s eccentric cross-pollination of gypsy ballad violin and folk infused art-rock is defined by it. The importance of meter and repetition is clear on Noble Beast , even thematically, as whistled motifs emerge in defiant contrast to [...]]]></description>

Afterall, it’s the only place you can see it, and you’ve got to be the first&#8230; This windowed model of exlusivity is rapidly becoming a new form of early distribution [...]]]></description>

		<title>For Emma, Forever Ago</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Justin Vernon&#8217;s debut album, &#8220;For Emma, Forever Ago&#8221; is steeped in mysticism, romance, and the deep spirit of nature. Vernon sings under the pseudonym &#8220;Bon Iver&#8221; a slight modification of the French bon hiver, meaning &#8220;good winter&#8221;, and indeed there is an intimate presence of the cold and dark penetrating nights of winter pulsating throughout [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Moral Courage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the eve of the anniversary of the assassination of MLK Jr., I thought it would be appropriate to post a video here of one of King&#8217;s less popular speeches. Less popular because it does not showcase his familiar vision of racial and spiritual harmony, but instead criticizes America as hegemonic, militaristic and arrogant. Less [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Defense of Food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For anyone who&#8217;s ever wondered why it is that Americans are fatter, more obese and more prone to coronary disease, Michael Pollan&#8217;s &#8220;In Defense of Food&#8221; provides stunning insight. In fact, whatever I say in this blog will fail to do justice to the amount of research and thought that went into this book. In [...]]]></description>
