Some Things Before I forget

• Happy 2nd birthday, del.icio.us
• Maybe I should eat more locally-grown food
• I like Mike
• The new Sigur Rós video makes me cry tears of joy [video requires broadband + Windows Media; other formats here, look for glósóli]
• Joshua Marshall: “You don’t repair disorganized or incompetent government by granting it more power. You fix it by making it more organized and more competent. If conservatism can’t grasp that point, what is it good for?”

5. “Latter Days”, Over the Rhine (from Good Dog, Bad Dog)
6. “Willoughby”, Over the Rhine (from Good Dog, Bad Dog)
7. “Avatar”, Dead Can Dance (from Spleen and Ideal)
8. “Imeland”, Groupa (from one of the Nordic Roots samplers — still “cheaper than food”)
