Further thoughts on the cultural labor of poetry and art. Not merely "is it good?," but "what has it accomplished?"...reviews of recent poetry collections; selected poems and art dealing with war/peace/social change; reviews of poetry readings; links to political commentary (particularly on conflicts in the Middle East); youtubed performances of music, demos, and other audio-video nuggets dealing with peaceful change, dissent and resistance.
Rodney, I basically concur--the whole final album (of which this was the single) seems sapped of the dynamic anarchy that made "Slanted + Enchanted" so fun--though this song is pretty solid. Plus, the video made me miss the chumminess of these guys--like a film of high school friends that somehow made their passions pay.
