Norwegians Bring Ancient Sea Monster Back To Life!

Well, not really, but they did find the remains of a short-necked pliosaur that had a head 2 meters long and teeth the size of bananas. They have some great artist renditions of what this monster would look like gobbling up prey, just go here.



Billy Bragg - Man For Our Times

The Bard of Barking is on tour and graced Hollywood last night with his fiery set. As Billy said, he's been coming to California for 22 years now, can it really be that long? During his set, he said how getting together a crowd of like-minded people can recharge everyone's batteries and how it can defeat cynicism. Billy Bragg fans are out to change the world. If you are even a casual fan, go see him. His show was incredible. Funny, disarming, engaging, fiery - what a show.

Thanks to Hector at Epitaph for hooking us up!

The only new material Billy Bragg has is a hardback book called "Progressive Patriot," a look at being English in a time of multiculturalism. There is also a pair of box sets with remastered albums and bonus tracks for $70.
