sloan: how to make a band last 20 years

from the record: Four guys. Ten albums. 20 years. The unlikely story of the band Sloan starts in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a college city in eastern Canada's Maritime provinces. It was there where four young musicians — Jay Ferguson, Chris Murphy, Patrick Pentland and Andrew Scott — met and started playing together. "We played our very first show at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, Nova Scotia, February 1991," Ferguson, one of the guitarists, remembers. "We played in the cafeteria."

lupe fiasco track questions wtc7 collapse, album tops billboard chart

from ae911truth.org: Atlantic Records rap star Lupe Fiasco calls the collapse of World Trade Center building 7 into question on his new album ‘Lasers,’ released March 8, 2011. In “Words I Never Said,” the new radio single off of ‘Lasers,’ he asks “9/11, building 7: did they really pull it?” (at 0:46) It is one of three songs selected as “singles” by Atlantic to promote the album. Lupe’s third official release—and first in which he specifically questions the government’s version of events on 9/11/01 with reference to ignored evidence - is the Grammy Award winner’s first #1 album in the United States (all genres), with over 200,000 units sold in its opening week... “Words I Never Said” is track #2 on the album... The video will “most likely be the biggest Lupe video to date” and be released before the end of February (in Lupe’s words at 6:04).

obama issues executive order institutionalizing indefinite detention

from aclu.org: President Obama today issued an executive order that permits ongoing indefinite detention of Guantánamo detainees while establishing a periodic administrative review process for them. The administration also announced it will lift the ban on bringing new military commissions charges against detainees that don’t already have ongoing cases in the substandard system. The American Civil Liberties Union has long called for Guantánamo to be shut down and opposes the indefinite detention of prisoners there, some of whom have been imprisoned by the U.S. without charge or trial for nine years. The ACLU has also long called for an end to the illegitimate military commissions and for the government to prosecute terrorism suspects in the federal criminal courts.
