annathepiper+0: Seattle gave a big fat NO to the monorail recall.
+1: Patty Murray is back in the Senate.
+2: Great Big Sea's latest newsletter just showed up in my mailbox. And they have this to say about the forthcoming album: "It is no secret that we have been working steadily on a new record, every note of which has been drawn from the Newfoundland tradition. We actually started it almost as soon as we finished Something Beautiful, and we have been recording sporadically ever since. In our minds, the as yet unnamed album is the folk 'ying' to Beautiful's pop 'yang'. This does not mean it will be a soft and fuzzy bunch of ballads. The 'trad record', as we are calling it, will contain still GBS's trademark energy, bizarre harmonies, odd guests and obscure Newfoundland in-jokes, all performed without the benefit of electricity."
*smiles sadly* The Doyle keeps telling audiences at GBS shows that we should come visit them in Newfoundland, because "Séan has a futon." That futon's looking pretty good right now.
