It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Well, it's May 22, 2011 and as far as I can tell the world is still intact. My drive to work tomorrow will clue me in as to how many got Raptured. Maybe there will be less traffic. At any rate, I will be able to listen at least one more time to the record that I have concluded is the best release of 2011 – I am not kidding – Let England Shake by PJ Harvey. Now that we can be reasonably certain we'll be around a while, go out or go online and buy this record today. I recommend the vinyl LP!
