Swoon

Here is the latest mix I have prepared: Swoon. This was a gift to my wife. A bit of what I have been hearing in the past year, a pinch of optimism and a sniff of saudade, after a year on sabbatical. A sort of soundtrack to love in the suburbs in 2010. To download the mix in high quality go to the link above (Username: Apollo, Password: feelingfree).

Mugged by the Debt Moralizers

Priceless Paul Krugman: "cutting off their own jobs to spite their neighbors..." OK. I have an incendiary comment: isn't this Lutheran and Puritan moralizing at its worst? I don't care if it will make me worse off, I just want to make sure my neighbors don't get away with having too much fun... ;-). Full article at Mugged by the Debt Moralizers - NYTimes.com
