James Mercer still sings breezy, melodically engaging melodies over quickly captivating guitars, churning out pop hooks in an impressively abundant manner. “Australia” and “Phantom Limb” will likely go down as classic Shins songs, capitalizing on the form of easy-listening indie-rock that has brought the five-piece so much success. Even the cutesy aroma of the synth-tinged “Red Rabbits” and the lack of initial instrumental involvement in “A Comet Appears” are appealing in their own right. Though it certainly will not “change your life”, Wincing the Night Away is one of The Shins’ finest efforts to date.

35. M.I.A. - Kala
miaAfter releasing the most talked-about debut of 2005 in Arular, M.I.A. could have easily sunk under the pressure and released a disappointing sophomore follow-up. It is what many other artists do, after all; many find the hype and pressure too much to handle. But coming from the outspoken, intelligent, and confident Maya Arulpragasam, it is not much of a surprise that Kala is of an equal, if not better, nature than her receptive debut. She has lived a life that just begs for a movie, making such music-related pressures seem obsolete in comparison. Kala is a continuation of the stylistic genius displayed on Arular, exchanging instances of hip-hop, world music, electro, ragga, and funk over rapidly paced lyrical deliveries that are often either political orbiguously unidentifiable in nature.

The obligatory, self-indulgent why-I’m-not-blogging-at-the-moment explanation.
It’s the se story you’ll find on every third blog on the web: Real life, work, hangnail, tires need rotating, Blogger only works half the time, and you have to use Blogger because you live in constant fear of uploading my index to my employer’s site when you do find the five minutes to aimlessly surf and find something worth linking.
Regardless of how the former guys compare, I personally can’t wait for tonight’s NBC broadcast with Don Cherry. Gotta love a guy who speaks his mind regardless of whether it’s politically correct or not.
Fortunately for us, Sanjana does some of his best thinking out loud at his blog, ICT for Peacebuilding (ICT stands for information communications technology).
While much of Sanjana’s efforts focus on Sri Lanka, his words and work have universal application. His writing speaks global truths. His most recent post exemplifies this: it is an impassioned and eloquent call for citizen journalism.
One on five, and the one willed the win. Through the last minutes of regulation and all of two playoff overtimes, in the loneliest of basketball moments on the road amid the roar of the crowd against veteran defenders, and with the series about to swing, LeBron James willed all right – willed it like maybe no one else ever has.
This point is echoed by the AP’s Tom Withers, who noted that;
Anyone who cares about participatory democracy and a responsible media should listen closely.

Communication breakdown: a graphic representation of dialogue
05opart-largeAppearing on the op-ed page of the April 4 New York Times was this illustration by Paula Scher depicting the life cycle of a blog post. It actually resembles many efforts at public discourse, particularly those of a political nature.
Familiar points include “present factoids that counter thesis”, “impugn the character of thesis author”, “impugn character of anyone who even considered agreeing,” “criticize the character of those who repudiated the character of those who agreed,” and “denounce all dissenters of thesis”.
There are moments that help define a player’s career, such as Curt Shilling and his bloody sock, Bobby’s Orr’s “The Goal”, or Bobby Baun scoring the overtime goal in Game 6 of the ‘64 Cup after leaving the game earlier with a broken ankle. With these epic, clutch moments in mind, LeBron James has joined in with his 25 point finish to lead the Cavs back over the Pistons in Game 5 of the Eastern Finals.
Said Yahoo! Sports’ Dan Wetzel,
The 48 points were spectacular, but hardly tell the whole story. He scored them in the biggest game of his four-year career. He scored them in the most important game in Cleveland’s 37-year history. He scored them on the road, against the Pistons, one of the league’s toughest defensive teams.
So there you have it, LeBron stepped up in a hostile arena against the toughest defense there is, while still being only 22. It only adds to the wonder when you stop and realize how the game of basketball is played, and how it differs from other sports. While most sports can have a key player, the whole team must be involved to come out with the win. In no other sport, with the exception of home runs in baseball, can a team back off and let one player dominate on offense.
