And the Momerats Outgrabe: another music update

Try Spring Flight to the Land of Fire, by The Cape May. Vaporous by Elsiane. The Fire Theft by Paul Michel. Or try one of these four songs from Alexisonfire.

I'm not quite ready to cry racism on American Idol, but twice in a row now a second-tier black singer has fallen, leaving several third-tier white singers (I won't even mention Sanjaya again). But if Lakisha or Melinda are voted off, I'm calling the EEOC.

For something a little different, check out "Where Y'All At", a stunning track from Wynton Marsalis' notable new release From The Plantation To The Penitentiary. Sample lyric: "You got to speak the language the people are speakin'/'specially when you see the havoc it's wreakin'/Even the rap game started out critiquin'/Now it's all about killin' an' freakin'!/All you '60s radicals and world beaters, righteous revolutionaries, Camus readers, liberal students, equal rights pleaders/what's going on now that y'all are the leaders?!" Brother Marsalis is doing some serious preaching here! We'd best pay attention to what he has to say, both lyrically and musically, 'cause he's making a statement not often [able to be] made by a musician.

The link for Vaporous doesn't work...can you fix? I generally like the music I come across on here, so I want to hear it. :)
