Democratic nomination race over today - Crystal Castles postponed



Take a look at Slate's Delegate Calculator. Now plug in this little zinger.

Also take into account that Obama has not released his fundraising numbers for Feb which by some inference could exceed a mind-boggling $60 million.

Also many have speculated that Bill Richardson will endorse Obama very soon.

After today, which poses to pretty much be a tie throughout the Ohio + Texas vote, Hillary will have no chance to make up the gap. She certainly gets point for tenacity but I believe we'll be hearing a reluctant concession speech from the Hillary camp sooner rather than later.


Also Crystal Castles got into a car accident or something so they wont be showing up tonight. damnit!

'cest bon



Had a nice chat with the people at 6S marketing today which was great fun. The people running the place seem like good folk and hopefully we'll get to work together in the future.

The real news today is *GASP* John McCain is in bed with lobbyists!!!

no I mean he literally he used to fuck one.

I had heard rumors about something like this for a while now and cudos to the New York Times for waiting until the most devastating moment to drop this bomb on the republican candidate. I hope they don't start trumpeting non-partisan coverage now though.


So sasha and diggers are coming to town, that's also news.

Black Kids + Cut Copy are coming to town, as is Daniel Johnston. I'll be going to both and so should you.


Black Kids - "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You."

Cut Copy - Music and Lights (Moulinex Remix) DOWNLOAD


I'm really fucking excited for Cut Copy. I've got their first release / first pressing on vinyl and I'm thinking of getting them to sign it for me.

Introducing delegate counter XLS

A guy over at the something awful forums made this awesome excell
doc that you can use at home to track statistics on the US primary race.
Think of it like the home game version of Wheel of Fortune.


As a statistics nerd I heartily approve....
