Time to celebrate the last day of February!!! Here’s my suggestions…DC9 in DC is having their 5 Year Anniversary party and are featuring performances from Jukebox The Ghost and J-Roddy Walston and The Business. Should be dynamite! Also in DC are Benjy Ferree, Tim Fite, and Laughing Man. They play the Black Cat. The Velvet Lounge has a good one with Deleted Scenes, Batata Doce (ex Rock*A*Teens), and Mittenfields while Dan Aurebach takes down the 9:30 Club. Hacienda and Those Darlins open for him. Up in Philly classic hip hop is in town with the Black Sheep at the Khyber. Zilla Rocca opens. Finally don’t forget that Thievery Corporation play the Electric Factory and Tapes ‘n Tapes, Wild Light and The Subjects continue their tour through the area making a stop at Johnny Brenda’s. Enjoy!

The news has angered me this week. Damn you FRONTLINE and your revealing insights! I recently watched their expose on the environmental policies that were pretty much pushed aside by every president since 1988 (what’s up with that Clinton/Gore). Many politicians didn’t even believe global warming existed (some still don’t) while others knew it was there, but felt mandatory CO2 caps would affect the economy, so they decided they would make them optional. Then the new Bush came in promising the mandatory caps, but basically backed out of that as soon as he was elected. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….pop! So here’s my question to the new candidates. You say you’re for change and happiness and greatness? What will you do? Sorry for the rant… here’s some earth friendly remixes.
