I've got a fever, and the only cure is...

Christopher Walken for President? Finally, a candidate worthy of my vote. Sadly, this website is a joke. But even The Washington Post likes the idea. I mean seriously, who wouldn't vote for a candidate who could use "This Country Needs More Cowbell" as his campaign slogan?

Music: The Magic Numbers. Still no US release date, so I broke down and bought an import version. Worth the extra $6. Last time I mentioned them, I compared them to the B-52's, but the only similarity is that they have one male and two female vocalists. There's plenty of other influences evident in this disc: Violent Femmes, Rilo Kiley, Matthew Sweet. The entire album is a collection of well-crafted pop songs, and the three-part harmonies add another layer that lots of current records are missing. Basically, if you took a bunch of 70's AM radio-style pop and added 60's girl group vocals, you'd be getting close. Definitely an enjoyable listen.

I like poster books. I like Star Wars. Therefore, this is my new favorite book. See kids, all those deductive reasoning questions on your SATs can be applied to the real world.
