Ezra Furman and the Harpoons - “We Should Fight”
I don’t come across enough music like this these days: clever, storytelling lyrics with a heavy dose of rock-and-roll. So when Josh dropped these guys into our submission queue, my immediate reaction was jealousy. I was jealous that Josh had been enjoying these guys for who knows how long and I’d never even heard of them. Well, that’s all fixed now, and I’m well on my way to overdosing on the Bob-Dylan-mixed-with-Clap-Your-Hands-Say-Yeah-mixed-with-pure-rock-and-roll-energy that is Ezra Furman and the Harpoons.
Picking a song from Furman’s latest album, Inside the Human Body, was really difficult, so when you’re done with this gem, do yourself a favor and check out anything else you can get your hands on.
One Day International - “Miss Your Mouth”
It initially seems a bit counterproductive to be listening to such a somber song on such a beautiful spring day but it’s a beautiful somber song so it all works out in the end. Irish band One Day International has somehow flown under the radar despite these gorgeous and haunting heartbroken lullabies they create. However, thanks to an appearance at this year’s SXSW, they are starting to get a bit more attention stateside. I can’t recommend them enough - especially if you’re having problems in the love department (check out their song “Not Over You” on their Myspace). Their album, Blackbird, is also available on Amazon.

Lightning bolts appear above and around the Chaiten volcano as seen from Chana, some 30 kms (19 miles) north of the volcano, as it began its first eruption in thousands of years, in southern Chile May 2, 2008. Cases of electrical storms breaking out directly above erupting volcanoes are well documented, although scientists differ on what causes them. Picture taken May 2, 2008. (REUTERS/Carlos Gutierrez)
After a review of the game tape, here is look at three key Eagles in Monday’s 30-10 victory over Cleveland.
Jason Avant
The Eagles might not have a No. 1 receiver, but they do have some underrated ones, and Avant is among them. He compensates for his lack of speed by running great routes and catching just about everything that is thrown his way. He also has the toughness needed to be an effective blocker in the run game.
Totally agree……Avant is definitely underrated and he’s a great third down possession receiver.
haunting song from a great band

Pretty sweet hydropower idea. Seeing things like this gets me excited about the future of energy. All it takes is people seriously working on it and we’ll be able to vastly improve our situation
