1 commentPerry Farrell… yawn?
“My old pal and seasoned music critic Mike Breen wrote a thoughtful, nostalgic, and bummer of a blog post about Perry Farrell, currently on tour with his new project Satellite Party. For many of us, Farrell was an avant garde art-rock prophet, a multimedia visionary who emerged from Venice Beach in the late 1980s and spread the word of weird…”
I have always found Farrell a bit too much and empowered a great of shit music with his travelling festival. What has interested me is that Nuno Bettancourt and the drummer have left Satillite Party over creative differences. Wonder if the notoriously dictatorial Farrell drove these two away from the band. A friend of mine who has heard the SP music is not that impressed. I think the rest of Jane’s new band has fared quite a bit better creatively.

BBC v Bloggers
“Am enjoying the BBC being on the back foot and apologetic as a result of stories by Iain and the chaps at the Biased BBC blog being picked up by the Dead Tree Press. The fact is that the BBC worldview is a cultural suppressant. We all learn from the BBC that America is bad, Israel is very bad, businessman are bad…”
I have to agree with Guido that it is great fun to watch the Beeb squirm about all these misdeeds. Its good to see the tables turned on them after all the commercial TV bashing they and their supporters engage in all the time.

Global warming zealots have no shame
WHAT a surprise that four politicians still have the guts to insist there’s no proof humans are causing catastrophic climate change. Problems with man-made global-warming theory – the globe hasn’t warmed since 1998; warming has been detected on four other planets with no humans to blame; Antarctica is gaining ice, not losing it; a new study found.

If Hillary’s so smart, how did she flunk the D.C. bar, one of the easiest?
Sen. Hillary Clinton’s fans suggest that her brilliance outshines her character flaws. But if she’s so smart, how did she flunk the D.C. bar exam, one of the easiest in the nation? Voters have a right to ask. Clinton’s camp may pooh-pooh the failure. But a new book profiling her life reveals that it was a big enough deal that she hid…
I am guessing the left of centre press won’t bother to call Hilary an idiot or stupid. Bush gets a Master Degree from Yale and he is an idiot but Hilary can’t pass the bar and is not…hrm.

Poland Will Boycott UN Anti-Israel Conference
Kudos to the Polish members of the European Parliament, who are boycotting another anti-Israel UN conference. And shame on the rest of the Europeans who are eager to participate. A conference of UN NGOs (non-governmental organizations) on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, to be…

Does Lembit have the ‘Mayor factor’?
The summer break also brings on a bout of annual blog backslapping. In the Witanagemot awards there were more categories than bloggers. Some of the more outlandish categories were “Blogger you’d most like to shag” (won by Rachel from North London)...

You Kids Play Nice When Company’s Over!
It was only a couple of people who cheered and they, thankfully, are not among the people who get a say in news play. But obviously news staff shouldn’t be cheering or jeering the day’s news, particularly as Boardman points out, ‘when we have an outside guest in the room.’
They are, however, dispassionate professionals who wouldn’t dream of letting their non-existent bias creep into their work. Or so they are constantly assuring us. Fortunately it seems to be quite rare.
Joe Scarborough has pulled back the curtain on the liberal bias at MSNBC, describing an incident in which people in its newsroom ceaselessly booed President Bush during a State of the Union address.
Maybe not that rare. I remember vividly a female CBC regional anchor bursting into delighted laughter when the NDP did much better than expected in a provincial election.
As you may or may not already be aware, members of the Watcher’s Council hold a vote every week on what they consider to be the most link-worthy pieces of writing around… per the Watcher’s instructions, I am submitting one of my own posts for consideration in the upcoming nominations process.
Here is the most recent winning council post, here is the most recent winning non-council post, here is the list of results for the latest vote, and here is the initial posting of all the nominees that were voted on.
