Go get informed and make your voice heard:

Dogs Die in Hot Cars really, really great album Please Describe Yourself (unfortunately still an import). I can’t really descibe them, so listen a bit at BBC.
The Killers [caution - major website soundtrack explosion] album Hot Fuss nice synth-pop-rock goes from an 80’s-via-grunge sort of thing, to the turning point of a rock opera, maybe.
West Elm has launched its fall collection. Looks like textured bedding á la Fold is where it’s at.
Where was American Science & Surplus when I was ten?
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim new book by David Sedaris, I highly recommend the audio version either on CD or digitally.
Design of Everyday Things classic interaction design intro by Don Norman
Matt Sharp excellent, drowsy new album by former former Weezer & Rentals Matt Sharp
Ollabelle gospel-blues by NYC’s Ollabelle
CB2 because Crate & Barrel needs more of my money.
