The Pixies Play Doolittle at the Paramount.
I'm glad for the "Silver" love. I've just heard that a lot, that "Oh, man, _Doolittle_ would be wall-to-wall awesome if it weren't for 'Silver'!" and I just don't get that. I read a thing that it was "the greatest song Neil Young never wrote", and that I DO get. Cause it is kinda Neil Young-ish. But damn but I love that song.

Election 2009: Winners and Losers.
Huh. This is actually a surprisingly poorly-written article. Did Eli & Dominic collaborate, or did one just wrote the Winner half and the other wrote the Loser half?
The "Mercury Group" part is troubling two-fold:
a) Even though they were behind the Good Guys(tm), why are we only finding out about it now?
b) Why is the top half all "OH, MCGINN AND O'BRIEN WERE TOTALLY PULLING A FAST ONE AND BACKED BY THIS POWERFUL GROUP!!1!11!" and the bottom half all "OH, MCGINN AND O'BRIEN WERE TOTALLY THE RUMPLED OUTSIDERS!!!"
I mean, jeez, I voted for McGinn and O'Brien, but still. Seems like something that would have been interesting to know BEFORE the election. Particularly as to what the Mercury Group is/does/stands for. Even if they're for ice cream and puppies for all, it's pretty useful to know who you're voting for and who's pulling the strings, etc.
