LINKS: Send Me Dead Flowers has quickly become one of my favorite mp3 blogs (a list containing two members, but no less prestigious for that). Anyone who dedicates their energy toward British popular music will pique my interest--they had a post on the Libertines a few weeks ago featuring a pair of songs that sound nothing like the Libertines I know.*
Also, Matthew Fluxblog has started a project to write each song from R.E.M.'s albums. I can't think of a better use for the internet.
Oh yes, and congratulations to Chris Lawrence on his new appointment. I hear the methodologists** have the only coffeemaker in the department, which I'm sure is what convinced Chris to overcome his preference for a small, teaching-intensive professorship.
