Twitter / groovylinks

I get annoyed with people who announce their every blog post in their Twitter feeds (if I’m interested, I’ll just subscribe to your blog). But curious to see if there’s a market for it, I’ve created a Twitter user which will announce new links on this site. Follow “him” to get notified.

YouTube - Take On Me: Literal Video Version

“Ever wish songs just sang what was happening in the music video? Well now they do.”

McLobbyist

Another focused attack site funded by the Obama campaign. I wonder how the return-on-investment compares between these and running 30 second commercials.

John McCain’s Record

Another “attack” site from the Obama campaign. Wish there was a bit more hyperlinkage for sources.

Keating Economics: John McCain and the Making of a Financial Crisis

The Obama campaign aren’t resting on their current lead in the polls. This shows promise that they intend to keep fighting all the way to election day.

Manny Being Manipulated

Outstanding (and lengthy) article by Bill Simmons about the end of the Manny era in Boston. Sums up everything I felt about the whole affair — that it stank to high heaven, and I miss Manny as a player. I wish him all the best this postseason, and pray he doesn’t become a MFY next year.

CD Purchase: CSS - Cansei de Ser Sexy

I was vaguely aware of CSS's existence, but until seeing them live at the Treasure Island Music Festival, I hadn't listened to them much. They put on a great show, and have a cute female guitarist, so I downloaded their two albums and thoroughly enjoyed them. CDs subsequently purchased, and I now consider myself a fan.

Report: 60 Million People You’d Never Talk To Voting For Other Guy | The Onion

The US political “system” in a nutshell: “According to an eye-opening report released Tuesday, 60 million people whom you would never talk to, would never be in a position to talk to, and wouldn’t even be able to talk to if you tried will be voting for the other candidate in this year’s presidential election, and there is nothing you can do about it.”
