One segment of the population has been flat out ignored in this debate on health care. Health Care Executives. If you’re sick and tired of hard-working executives not getting what they deserve, help Will Farrell take a stand.

Thanks again to my friend Chris, I was introduced to the band The Veils, and indie/alternative rock band that is led by vocalist and guitarist Finn Andrews. They’ve had numerous splits, band member additions, and three albums, each with a distinctive sound. The most recent, Sun Gangs, was released in April of this year and features one of my standout tracks of the year, “The Letter”. The album as a whole is still growing on me but I’m sure it will. Neither Chris nor I can’t figure out why The Veils haven’t made a bigger splash in either the U.S. or Britain. But sometimes, it takes 4 or 5 albums to do that. Here are a few links if you’d like more information:The Veils on Wikipedia, The Veils website, The Veils myspace

I absolutely must dig out my cd’s by The Knife and listen to them. For whatever reason, I never got into them at the time that my friend Chris sent them to me but I’ve since discovered Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson, who is one half of the Sweedish band The Knife. Seven is the fourth single to be released from Fever Ray (Karin’s first solo project) and while I’m not quite as into this song as I was Triangle Walks – the previous single – the video is really quite interesting. Karin has a wild voice and she can also be heard on two tracks on Royksopp‘s Junior and one on The Understanding.

I’m sure many of you are feeling sick of hearing about health care reform from whatever media sources you are tuned into. It’s easy just to get disgusted and turn off to it. But regardless of your political affiliations, most people agree that the system is not working as it’s currently “structured” and something needs to be done to make it better. The U.S. can’t survive in the 21st Century economy if costs continue to skyrocket as they have been and the uninsured continue to burden our economy.
