P.M. means night

·

The annual Daylight Saving Time “leap forward” is probably my favorite of Gov. Mitch Daniels’ achievements. This is where his real supporters and I differ.

President ‘bling-bling’ down in polls

In France, some rouge states are about to turn bleu.This past week, at dinner with my host family, the topic of the ongoing French regional elections came up. The streets of Paris have been littered with campaign posters for every party imaginable, one for every shade of political belief.

Drug cartels still actively infiltrating US security

·

Earlier this month, students, concerned citizens and members of the press crammed into a hearing room on Capitol Hill. Before them sat Senator Mark Pryor, D-Ark., who apparently represented an entire subcommittee of the Senate’s Committee on Homeland Security.

Internet trade poses serious risk to endangered species

The Internet has emerged as one of the greatest threats to rare species, fueling the illegal wildlife trade and making it easier to buy everything from live baby lions to wine made from tiger bones, conservationists said Sunday.The Web’s impact was made clear at the meeting of the 175-nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES. Delegates voted overwhelmingly Sunday to ban the trade of the Kaiser’s spotted newt, which the World Wildlife Fund said has been devastated by the Internet trade.

Mix of beautiful sounds

·

With soulful choruses and a shaky voice that tears at the heart, “Mixed Drinks” is a well thought-out and composed album that tells a story and basks in the beauty that is music.

The Civil War for lovers

·

Although this album is supposedly a concept album dealing with the Civil War and the title comes from an ancient US warship the USS Monitor, the powerful sound and emotional tone of the album is remarkable.

Broken Bells doesn't go for broke

·

What isn’t exciting about this album? "Chutes Too Narrow" times "St. Elsewhere?" "Oh, Inverted World" to the "Grey Album"th power? The possibilities were endless.Yet as is so often the case, this proved to be the band’s heaviest burden as their product has inevitably fallen victim to its own hype.

Brick by solid brick

·

If there is one thing that Ted Leo’s newest LP, “Brutalist Bricks” clarifies, it is that the man can still bring it.

A beach to rival any spring break spot

The name “Plastic Beach” is superficial, granting a synthetic quality to one of nature’s most serene settings. Fortunately there is nothing superficial or manufactured about Gorillaz’ newest album.
