What three bands would you like to see get more attention (and tell us why)?
Question by I AM A THUNDERCLOUD: What three bands would you like to see get more attention (and tell us why)?
What are three bands that you think deserve more recognition for what they do? Who would you like to see take the airwaves by storm and win the adoration of millions of fans? Well, here are my picks.
The Hold Steady:
The Hold Steady is nothing short of America’s greatest rock band right now. They sound like every great rock n’ roll band of the 70′s with a hint of punk swagger and lead singer Craig Finn’s sharp, witty poetry about teens and deadbeats ambling through life downing drinks, popping pills, and snorting various illicit powders. Their music paints a picture of disaffected youth that would be depressing if it weren’t so easy to sing along to.
RIYL: Bruce Springsteen, The National, Wilco, The Decemberists

Los Campesinos!:
Hailing from Wales, Los Campesinos! play a unique, multi-layered brand of punky pop rock that runs circles around what any swoop-haired neon-shirt “emo” band can pull off. Armed with tight melodies and crunchy rhythms, Los Campesinos! are the antidote to the All Time Lows and Paramores of the world. The next wave of pure pop perfection.
RIYL: Belle & Sebastian, Vampire Weekend, The Get Up Kids, Bloc Party

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc4GethJnBg (Music video for “Death to Los Campesinos!”)

Future of The Left:
Another Welsh band, as it happens, Future of The Left inhabit much darker territory than the sunny tunes of Los Campesinos! Their music collides diamond-hard, growling guitars with a sharp melodic edge like razor wire. The crown jewel of their latest album, Travels With Myself and Another, “Arming Eritrea” (available on their myspace page), pummels you with a tense hardcore dirge before exploding into a melodic chorus so satisfying, you just might pee yourself.
RIYL: Fugazi, Franz Ferdinand, Sonic Youth, Gang of Four

So what are yours?
BQ: What do you think of the three bands I chose?
Best answer:
Answer by The Hand That Feeds
The Germs-They were a great Punk band that was short lived because of Darby Crash’s unfortunate death. Darby is often forgotten because he died the day before John Lennon.
The Melvins-They were a band that heavily influenced Grunge(mostly Kurt Cobain who was a HUGE Melvins fan) and made some great music. They’re always changing sounds, but maintain the quality of their music.
Screaming Trees-Another forgotten band that should have been bigger in the Grunge scene. They made a lot of music in the 9-10 years they were around. Their song “Nearly Lost You” is a classic in my opinion

Q&A: Whats is a protien powder that is good for women?
Question by blazn80mph: Whats is a protien powder that is good for women?
I think I need more protien in my diet because I am sleepy and out of energy all of the time. I eat chicken and salmon 3 times a week, but I need something that I can put in a smoothie for breakfast.
I dont want to gain a lot of weight with those “body building” protien shakes.. just a litle extra energy.
Any suggestions on brands to buy!?
thank you.

Answer by prestigieuxlavie
Well, I looked at the GNC website, but when I went to the section for products designed for women, they didn’t have anything like that. It was all fat burners. And all the protein powders were in the men’s part… I wonder why that is?

Should the KennedyCare bill be fast tracked without final language in place or a fiscal note?
Question by : Should the KennedyCare bill be fast tracked without final language in place or a fiscal note?
* The deadline for amendments to the Kennedy bill is MONDAY
* A notice has been sent out that mark-up will begin TUESDAY
* Sen,. Coburn says they still don’t even have the language on
* 3 sections of the bill.
* And of course, it hasn’t been scored.
Senate Democrats plan to rush Senator Ted Kennedy’s “Affordable Health Choices Act” to passage next week. The bill is missing language (eg. public health insurance option) and hasn’t even being scored for cost! It doesn’t even have a bill number yet. It needs to be DELAYED.
lowlights from the entire 615-page bill as currently written.
It’s enough to take your breath…and freedom…away! It includes:
* 2009 version of Hillary Clinton’s Regional Alliances called American Health Benefit Gateways (SEC 143) with can be established by a State, the Federal government, or in regions.
* Penalties for anyone who goes uninsured (SEC 161).
* “Right Choices Program” to identify the uninsured and encourage them to get insured (SEC 311).
* Government in charge of deciding what is and is not “effective” or “quality” health care (SEC 219).
* Doctors paid for their “performance” – compliance with government treatment directives (SEC 143).
* Medicare-like program for people age 55 – 63…and a brand new trust fund (SEC 181).
* New bureaucracies, including the Medical Advisory Council, the Interagency Coordinating Working Group on Health Care Quality, a Patient Safety Research Center, Shared Decision-Making Resource Centers and a Center for Health Outcomes Research and Evaluation.
* Five, yes FIVE, new Offices on Women’s Health. One for the Secretary of HHS and the rest in four in separate HHS agencies. The cost: “such sums as may be necessary for each of the fiscal years 2010 through 2014.” (SEC 221)
* Program to look at the health impact of anything “built” in the environment including homes.(SEC 333)
* $ 10,000,000,000 for prevention, wellness, a new prevention Council, and public health activities including prevention research and health screenings (and data collection) (SEC 301).
* Collection of private health data at every turn, including in the workplace (SEC 334).
* Ready Reserve Corps established to help health departments for routine public health and emergency response missions. (SEC 430)
* New “Primary Care Extension Agencies” created by also new “State Hubs” will be created to help primary care clinics get in line with what this bill means to do, including creation of “medical homes,” the new gatekeeper model. (SEC 455)
* Plan to hunt for “fraud, waste and abuse” (no definitions) in not only government programs, but also in private health insurance. (SEC. 511) Is the care you want outside government guidelines, and thus deemed fraudulent? Your doctor could possibly be fined or imprisoned or both.
Ted Kennedy.. the man who gave you the HMO..
Does anyone actually read this stuff? And they wonder why people oppose nationalized heathcare! at any rate this dog doesnt even have a fiscal note.. I think most everyone can agree this should be delayed till members have a readable bill.
call your congressman and demand a delay on the vote till there is a fiscal note.. Hold their feet to the fire folks. Its your money and freedom.
