Songs & Such: “Could be a Lot Worse” by Vigilantes of Love
The song “Could be a Lot Worse” is off the album Audible Sigh, the second to last album to use the Vigilantes of Love moniker. The more noticeble alt-country tinge does not detract from the lyrics or rock-ish vibe the song wants to give off. In fact, that tinge is what makes the song work in its best possible way.
Google Desktop for Linux Released

Anti-Homeschooling aka Ignorance is Bliss (I Guess)
I can always count on Digg to point me at something I can commentate on. For this week’s commentary, I want to look at this diatribe against home schooling.
