Despite their totally adorable, quasi-novelty setup (brother and sister duo make achingly sweet pop music), the punchline of the McGregor project is that they are very serious about their selection and execution. Just ask San Francisco's reputable Darla label, who found its way out here to sign our favorite popsters. Another fact: The best musicians have the best taste. That's the way it works. So one CD of originals is great, but a second CD of selected covers of Mancini, Byrne/Harrison and Cohen? Bonus all the way. [DAVID DAY]

Rothbury Music Festival: Post 1

I wish I could say I saw a couple more cities on my way to Rothbury, Michigan. We—Spencer, Mills, Maysa, Keith and myself—drove from Allston to Michigan in about 17 hours, passing through Cleveland, Detroit, Lansing and a couple other places along the way. After making it through a 20-hour bus ride in Argentina a few years ago, I've learned to appreciate all the things you see along the way during a road trip that you miss on a plane.

 


Fuck Michael Jackson

The guy could dance, hooked up with a couple of good producers, diddled little kids (allegedly, yeah right), and is now dead. Good riddance.


Dear, dear Governor Sanford

When apologizing publically to your wife and constituents, here's a rough list of things you should probably avoid mentioning:

 

1. Your experience, even that which falls within your college years, of working across national borders without a work visa. This goes double for high-ranking, GOP president-hopefuls.

 

2. That you were exhausted by your own efforts to turn down federal stimulus money.
