Anyone know set times for the Silent Barn show?

Ray LaMontagne! If you don't have plans, go see him. Sold out show, but I'm sure you can find tickets on craigslist or at the door.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by letting her husband press for the firing of a state trooper, a legislative probe found, while adding that she acted within her authority when she dismissed the state's public safety commissioner.

``Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda,'' said the state legislative investigator's report released yesterday in Anchorage. The report also said Palin's dismissal of the commissioner, Walt Monegan, was a ``proper and lawful exercise'' of her power to fire department heads for any reason.

Monegan has said he was dismissed for refusing to fire Trooper Michael Wooten, who was involved in a divorce and custody battle with Palin's sister. The report on Palin, the Republican candidate for vice president, was released less than a month before the Nov. 4 election. Republican Presidential candidate John McCain's campaign rejected the findings as partisan politics.

Well, if 5:14 is going to post an off-topic comment, I will, too.

NATIONAL PARKS DAMAGED BY POT FARMING

By TRACIE CONE, AP

PORTERVILLE, Calif. (Oct. 11) - National forests and parks — long popular with Mexican marijuana-growing cartels — have become home to some of the most polluted pockets of wilderness in America because of the toxic chemicals needed to eke lucrative harvests from rocky mountainsides, federal officials said.

[...]

Weed and bug sprays, some long banned in the U.S., have been smuggled to the marijuana farms. Plant growth hormones have been dumped into streams, and the water has then been diverted for miles in PVC pipes.

Rat poison has been sprinkled over the landscape to keep animals away from tender plants. And many sites are strewn with the carcasses of deer and bears poached by workers during the five-month growing season that is now ending.

Liking Ted Leo and Against Me! isn't important, and if you don't, who cares? But please for the love of God, somebody explain the fetishistic worship of the FotL on this site. Street teams for this???!?!? The album is bad. Their set tonight was better than the album, but still not good.

Ted and AM are conservative traditionalists, but holy shit, what a great pairing. What a great night. Holy shit again. Webster rocked. Oh, except for the part that 4:35 planned his/her evening around.

To each his/her own, I guess, and I'm sorry I missed Killing Joke.

I heard Governor Palin was in contention to be the latest drummer in Vivian Girls.

"Ted and AM are conservative traditionalists, but holy shit, what a great pairing. What a great night. Holy shit again. Webster rocked."

Agreed. Fantastic show. AM especially was in top form.

"But please for the love of God, somebody explain the fetishistic worship of the FotL on this site."

I'll admit that they probably get stronger praise than they deserve simply because they're ex-Mclusky, but I think the album is actually good. Not Mclusky good, but still pretty strong. They delivered last night, too.

I left after Ted and caught Langhorne/Heartless Bastards at MHOW, which was a great show. It's kind of heartbreaking watching AM! play now. The new material is just so terrible, even if they play it with the same energy they've always had. For me, it's not about Sire, barcodes, or Spin, it's just about the songs. The new ones just blow.
