So The Rolling Stones gig at Hanging Rock is cancelled again

I was quite excited to be going to see them when the gig was first announced but I've got to say my enthusiasm waned after the first cancellation - but then again...

Matt Taibbi: The $9 Billion Witness - Meet JPMorgan Chase's Worst Nightmare

She tried to stay quiet, she really did. But after eight years of keeping a heavy secret, the day came when Alayne Fleischmann couldn't take it anymore.
"It was like watching an old lady get mugged on the street," she says. "I thought, 'I can't sit by any longer.'"
Fleischmann is a tall, thin, quick-witted securities lawyer in her late thirties, with long blond hair, pale-blue eyes and an infectious sense of humor that has survived some very tough times. She's had to struggle to find work despite some striking skills and qualifications, a common symptom of a not-so-common condition called being a whistle-blower...

David Byrne Radio: Viva Mexico (Part 1)

November Radio: Viva Mexico Part 1 by Todomundo on Mixcloud

I was asked to compile a playlist of some of my favorite Mexican music on the occasion of a proposed public art exhibition in Mexico City. It turned out I had quite a bit on my computer-enough for 6 hours of no repeats! So, as these monthly streaming "radio" playlists usually last about 3 hours, I divided it in half. Here is part one.
There is no sequential order or order of preference. There are songs from records that are 20 years old and some that just came out a few months ago. Most are pop songs—I stayed away from classical or folkloric recordings, though there is lot of great stuff there as well. What excites me is that many of these artists have found ways to incorporate their Mexican musical heritage and culture into what might be called the global pop form. The stuff doesn't sound like imitations of North American or UK alt-rock—though there are plenty of groups I didn't include that do sound a bit like someone else. These ones sound like nothing but themselves.
