Carrie Brownstein (of Sleater-Kinney) is writing a music weblog for NPR.
I guess I should add that I probably won't stay on the topic of music.

FEMA staged a televised-live news conference in which all of the "reporters" in the room were FEMA employees.
"We are reviewing our press procedures and will make the changes necessary to ensure that all of our communications are straight forward and transparent," Vice Adm. Harvey E. Johnson Jr., FEMA's deputy administrator, said in a four-paragraph statement.
I don't quite know where to begin with this.

Reminded, recently:  One of my favorite weblogs is run by an Ad firm, coudal.com/index.php .

They do not take themselves seriously.  Consider: coudal.com/cghfilm.php

Also, Subway Sandwiches once wanted an ad.  Agency.com submitted this: ifilm.com/video/2760631

It's probably time to learn a whole lot about ham.

With the establishment of the republic, the ingenuity of a population of artisanal food producers fixed upon improving the most estimable of American products, ham.

"The Future of Reputation", fascinating exploration of how the internet culture can destroy people's privacy, and lives.  (Is this one of the unanswered questions of our times?  I certainly don't know what to think about it.)
