I have been very pleased with the progress of my legislation, HR 1207, which calls for a complete audit of the Federal Reserve and removes many significant barriers towards transparency of our monetary system. This bill now has nearly 170 cosponsors, with support from both Republicans and Democrats. Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a companion bill in the Senate S 604, which will hopefu...

(Photo via The Star Tribune)The Republican National Convention, taking place this week in the Twin Cities, is not going down as peacefully or smoothly for that matter as the Democratic National Convention. And this is surprise to anyone? After all, these people are behind the regime that took us into war with Afghanistan and Iraq.While the protests following Rage Against The Machine's concert l...
We spent the last week or more previewing, digesting and sharing Drowned in Sound's experience of Reading and Leeds Festival 2008. Here's all our content, in case you missed anything.~~
So BRMC leaves the stage, and the people really start to pour in more. There had been a few of us that had been there all day, but now it's starting to get pretty full down in front of the stage. Keep in mind we still have 3 hours until the headlining band comes out, but we all know what's gonna go on, and yet we don't.Like I said a few days ago. I had really wanted to see Porcupine Tree. Unfor...
I'm not gonna make a full post about everything that we experienced at Voodoo Music Experience, let's just say that it was amazingly badass. For a full recap of the day's events check out "ZZTodd":http://mog.com/ZZTodd.I still can't even believe I was there...seeing RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!!!It was almost surreal being there.

It started off strong with Jedi Minds Tricks, Pharoah Monche (performed with a live band, very exciting, one of the highlights of the day) & erick and parrish still making dollars. Kind of a lull in the middle with mos def doing more"singing" than rapping, I missed the roots (place was getting packed by 4pm, seemed like 60,000 people on the island). Cypress Hill still touring off the strength ...
Summer is a time for reunions with friends, family and — estranged band members? Maybe that last one doesn’t apply to you, but it seems relevant in a time when bands are reliving their glory days left and right — The Police, Rage Against the Machine and Smashing Pumpkins have all recently retrieved their instruments from dusty closets and hit stages across the country. In a time of stagnation i...
Evil Empire is probably one of my favorite Albums of all time... It just always sounds fresh to me.Who here here has a CD that sounds fresh to them every time they listen to it?
Looking back at last week, we were flooded with votes pouring in from The Midwest for both 30db (Brendan Bayliss & Jeff Austin) and Van Ghost. These two bands were fighting it out for a while, but the energetic supporters of Van Ghost ultimately left 30db in the dust when we looked at a number of great covers of Don't Let Me Down . Congrats to Michael Berg, Jennifer Hartswick and the whole Van ...
Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine loves making new bands it would seem. He currently releases his quieter, folkier side under the name The Nightwatchman and now the man is back with a new band and a confirmed supporting slot behind Janes Addiction and Nine Inch Nails on their upcoming Summer tour.
The Smoking Gun has added a bunch of new backstage riders to its already impressive collection. You can tell a lot about a person by what they like to drink. Or, in this case, what kind of champagne they demand:...
As if the warnings about major congestion are not enough, it looks like there will be more fuel added to the fire come this September 3rd. We here in Minnesota have been warned about the hazards of traveling downtown during the Republican National Convention which will be held here September 3, 2008. Employees have been asked to work from home offset the 50,000 extra people who they feel will b...
