Trem Two

February 06, 2010 08:43AM

Mission of Burma’s “Trem Two” has been running in my head this morning, so I checked out YouTube & found this:

(Annoying that blogs here won’t embed the code. Sorry you’ll have to click.)

It (kind of & kind of not) surprises me the band nearly rejected/dropped this one – it’s such a great combo of hypnotic & tense. Repetitive & immediately memorable, but also obscure & mysterious. Works for me anyway.

Advocacy Advertising

February 04, 2010 01:32PM




Following years of refusing “advocacy” advertising that could be considered even remotely politically controversial, CBS this year has chosen to run an anti-choice ad during the Super Bowl.

Here’s an excellent rebuttal to the Super Bowl’s anti-choice ad:

And from Planned Parenthood:

I won’t be watching, but I’m glad some will be using the Super Bowl for far better advocacy purposes than taking away women’s reproductive choice:

And more help for Haiti (blessedly, not Super Bowl-related), the “Everybody Hurts” charity single:

It’ll be released as a digital download Sunday, and a physical single will be available Monday.
