It is simply an acknowledgement of reality and the subsequent search for information in light that acknowledgement. Take a look and a listen ... and judge for yourself.

This strikes me as an obvious distinction: I've watched this campaign unfold pretty closely. And I've listened to Obama's position on Iraq. He's been very clear through this year and last on the distinction between strategy and tactics. Presidents set...

2008-06-13 01:20:39 PM Exploitation, alienation, poverty, disempowerment, fragmenting and debilitating labor, production for the profit of a few -- much less harsh homelessness, starvation, and degradation -- are not like gravity. They arise from institutional relations established by human beings. New institutions, also established by human beings, can generate other vastly superior outcomes. Defining...

Dan Frampton, a.k.a. Dusk , and Pitchfork contributor Martin Clark, a.k.a. Blackdown , have been churning out solid 12" singles for a minute. On first listen, the obvious thing to say is that this London-based production team's debut, Margins Music , is for fans of a Burial-style approach. But it's really much less moody than this, though, and the 2-step feel of "Focus" is an example of a different...
