My wife and I made a trip to Good Records, in Dallas, this last Sunday and I purchased this album from Red Hare, from the Dischord label.

If you like Fugazi, and all that sorta Dischordy stuff, I highly recommend.

Also, over the last week I read the Shock Doctrine, by Naomi Klein. Whew – what a read. Really good. Just fascinating, infuriating, and super well-documented and researched. Like reading Noam Chomsky, except that it is actually readable (I love Chomsky, but his books are pretty much not my favorite to read).  Rather than hack together an inadequate review of the book, I will simply refer you to this page on Goodreads.com, with lots of comments.
