Former Massachusetts governor and likely 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney was a Wednesday guest on Sean Hannity's radio program and spent over 10 minutes talking about the policies of the Obama administration.
You can be absolutely confident of this. What he is doing is weakening America and it is hurting our economy. That's going to be the long-term effect of this administration.
One of the reason's that I have enjoyed the music of this nearly finished decade so much, is the flux of new wave influenced acts that have surfaced. For someone that discovered the blessing of music during the new wave revolution of the 80's, the current decade has felt somewhat like a fountain of youth.
This decade has seen Australia provide a significant share of 80's inspired artists, including acts such as Cut Copy, The Temper Trap and Van She. With the single, "Sometimes", Melbourne based Miami Horror continues the trend. Scheduled to release their debut album early next year, Miami Horror's initial single is already receiving heavy down under.
While there is still plenty of danger in the possibility of a global climate change treaty, which according to some, could have an overriding effect on the U.S. Constitution, the chances of such a worldwide agreement occurring during the upcoming international conference on climate change in Copenhagen, Denmark are diminishing.
Part of the reason for the diminishing chances of such a treaty being signed in Copenhagen is the liberal (i.e. believers that climate change actually exists) controlled U.S. Congress, which is mired in a debate over nationalized health care and apparently unable to multitask.
On Monday, Janos Pasztor, director of the U.N. secretary-general's Climate Change Support Team, indicated that progress - as he see's it - is taking place, but the hope for treaty signing during the Copenhagen conference is unlikely.
"The secretary-general believes that we must maintain the political momentum established by the 101 heads of state and government who attended the climate change summit and continue to aim for an ambitious, politically binding agreement in Copenhagen that would chart the way for future post-Copenhagen negotiations that lead to a legally binding global agreement."
Here's to hoping that the Democrats controlling the U.S. Government continue with their short-comings and fail to pass any climate change (or 'green') bill prior to the December conference.
I've been enjoying quite a number of artists from Sweden the past few years, with acts such as Shout Out Louds, The Knife and Fever Ray becoming personal favorites. So, whenever I hear of new music coming from Sweden, I take a quick listen. Such was the case today. While perusing a list of new music posted at woxy.com, I came across El Perro Del Mar.
El Perro Del Mar, who hails from Gothenburg, Sweden, is a solo project of Sarah Assbring. Her music is part pop, part folk.
El Perro Del Mar's new album 'Love Is Not Pop' was released in the U.S. on October 20. Below is an amazing live version of the album's first single, "Change Of Heart".
Beginning November 7, El Perro Del Mar will tour the U.S., supporting Peter, Bjorn & John, who recently spent time touring with Depeche Mode.
