The tyranny of consensus?
Hi Dear Readers, school and work have kept me away from blog updates for a while now, but that will change as things settle. In the meantime, check out this provocative article from Occupy Wall St. and see what you think. At the height of the Occupy movement, we attended some General Assembly meetings, and well...let's just say it's a wonder they could get anything done.

Ear Candle Radio's Top 20 for January 2013
The first month of the new year was a busy one, with much work, not much posting, but a great surge of listeners to Ear Candle Radio! The chart toppers include: a rare full-length version of "Spare Chaynge" that has since been scrubbed from the internet, but is a fascinating glimpse into a group of improvising minds; a new track from Cryptohelix, the new project of Phil Lollar, formerly of mid-80s San Francisco punk band MJB; a Mountain Goats song with one of the most sumptuous horn riffs I've heard in years; tributes to the recently fallen (Fontella Bass fronting the Art Ensemble Of Chicago, Ray Collins fronting the Mothers Of Invention); a playful dub jam from our own Granite Countertops; and so much more! Join the fun here.
