But I am not so out of it that I would forget the FRT (as I apparently did last week). Enjoy: 1. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Good Good Day 2. Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit 3. Hi-Tek Feat.

Sorry posting has been slow on my end. I got back to New York two days ago, and between seeing temporarily-returned far-flung friends, setting up my new apartment(! running a million errands, doing my real job and preparing for school on Monday, the blog has taken a back seat. But I have a ton of great stuff in my email box, including a very important call to action on behalf of Jamie Leigh Jones (the woman raped by KBR employees in Iraq) which will be posted very very soon.

Four For Friday - Quick And Dirty Edition
So I’ve been delinquent on the FRTs for a good month now, which I attribute to traveling and now working. But this week, I remembered to craft my FRT on Thursday night (it’s not technically cheating, since it was certainly Friday somewhere) and set the post to publish on Friday. Genius, I know.
