"Vote for music and more"
04/03/2003 Entry

The Philly country station 92.5 XTU is having a vote on whether they should continue playing Dixie Chicks music. You may want to head on over and express your opinion. If you don't know why this is even an issue, this Salon article will get you up to speed.

Paul Krugman had an interesting piece in the 3.25 NYTimes on the boycott.

He explores the Republican connections of Clear Channel Communications, owner of over 1200 US radio stations, and wonders aloud who the true boycott proponents are.
Of the mass CD smashings, Krugman writes, "To those familiar with 20th-century European history it seemed eerily reminiscent of. . . . But as Sinclair Lewis said, it can't happen here." fascinating...

Blogs I Visit





The small print

A few words on what I will and will not post on this blog (taken from my E-LIST entry of January 2, 2002). I have nothing against posting commercial sites as long as they come highly recommended. In fact, I'm quite interested in improving informed consumer choice so I'm very curious to hear about good experiences with online retailers. What I will refrain from posting are sites that require plug-ins or programs that are painful to deal with. Example: I will not post anything that only works with RealOne/RealPlayer as that program is intrusive and annoying beyond belief and I am not willing to reinstall it on my machine (it was hard enough to get rid of it completely in the first place) nor do I want to encourage others to have it. If your site has audio content, please make it available in multiple formats or choose one that can be run on multiple players (e.g. .avi).
