Sunday Morning Shards #26: The “Reunion” Edition.
On my mind and in the reading queue this week.
*Today is May Day. Take a moment to thank the workers in your life.
*According to the Justice Policy Institute, jail populations are soaring across America. Super (via Jeff Chang).
*Thomas Frank asks "What the hell is the matter with liberals?"
*Clear Channnel dips its toe in "indie radio" in Los Angeles. Rival behemoth Infinity Broadcasting is trying an all-podcast radio station in San Francisco (via Largehearted Boy).
*Why we do or don’t go to literary readings.
*My friend George Kelly is interviewed in SFist this week (via Anil Dash).
*The National Recording Preservation Board has released its 2004 additions to the The National Recording Registry, a list of "cultural siginifcant" recordings preserved for eternity by the Library of Congress. Nirvana’s "Nevermind" and Public Enemy’s "Fear of a Black Planet" make the cut (via Librarian.net).
*My ten year college reunion is next week. Baltimore, here I come!
