My Morning Jacket + Erykah Badu = Call Tyrone

…nuff said.

So because i write a blog, i get a lot of spam from people trying to get me to blog about their new music. I delete most of it, because it’s crap. Here’s some stuff I found promising.

The Little Ones – ‘Morning Tide (Django Django Remix)’
Ravens & Chimes – So Long, Marianne [Leonard Cohen cover]
Evan Voytas – Never My Love [Association cover]
Evan Voytas – The Yellow World of 83

What I learned from Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at DNC 2008:
* 95% of families get tax cuts.
* within 10 years, we will not be using mid east oil.
* $150 billion invested over 10 years in renewable energy in usa
* teachers get higher salaries
* implement a meritocracy in teaching
* everyone can afford the same healthcare as congressmen
* pay for all of it by closing corporate loopholes, eliminating government waste, …
* fathers should love their children. government cant do that for you
* apparently the iraq war was a mistake
* this election’s all about me
* barack really like using the word ‘change’
* obama’s freakin inspiring
* he’s either MLK or JFK or Lincoln. we’re not sure which…
* he can speak like a preacher when he wants to.

on a side note, Obama’s website is powered by hope:

Come on now, seriously??
