Something Shiny

Wish I’d known about this earlier, as in, before it sold out, But apparently Mates of State is (are?) playing this Saturday at the Weisman museum on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. To console myself, I’ve posted Ha Ha off of their Team Boo album here for your listening pleasure, I hope you enjoy it. And, if you happen to catch the show, let me know how it worked out at the Weisman.

	Mates Of State – Like U Crazy-Crazy (live)
	Found at skreemr.com

I don’t want to talk about the political views of either Sarah Palin or Jesse Ventura right now, I just want to point out that Palin seems to have contracted the same sort of crazy that Ventura had as his stint as governor of Minnesota wrapped up.

I’m not sure what compels politicians to go on camera in fishing waders or pirate beard braids. I suppose you could argue it’s obvious they really don’t care anymore. But then why continue to do the media events? Are they trying to make a point about the message being more important than the mouthpiece? Is it an appeal to the common [wo]man?

I apologize for the quality of the embedded tune, but the live version does a fun little medely with Gnarles Barkley‘s Crazy that I wanted to include.
