Prop B is a California proposition appearing on next week’s ballot. At stake is whether a landfill at Gregory Canyon gets built or not. Like most propositions, both sides have numerous television spots contradicting each other, confusing the issues and making it difficult to take an opinion. However, the really confusing thing is that a yes vote for prop B is a no vote for the landfill. If people in Florida can’t manage to follow an arrow on a ballot to know which box to put their ‘X’ in, how will people understand that if they don’t want the landfill than they have to vote yes? Or if they want the landfill they have to vote no?

No single of the week this week. Instead, I’m picking an anti-single of the week. William Shatner has covered Pulp’s Common People and its really scary. You can check it out here if you dare.

Sad news from the homeland: radio legend John Peel is dead from a heart attack at age 65. Without him, and the others he inspired, British music would likely be nothing but Take That and Boys II Men.

According to this article, the first Hooters in China opened Friday in Shanghai. If you go to the pictures contained in the article you will see just how wrong this is.

Back from a weekend in Vegas, no matter how easy a weekend one has, it always leaves you feeling knackered. Saturday night in the Luxor, the lounge was invaded by British Royal Marines in full dress uniform, medals and all. My Dad commented to one that he was surely having no trouble scoring with the ladies in the uniform but the answer was no: instead, he had been asked to park cars, fetch drinks and been generally treated like a hotel employee! Typical of Vegas, I guess, low-class idiots abound. I wonder how many US marines in uniform would have been treated like a valet….

Saw the highest priced gas ever during the trip, $3.19 a gallon for premium.

This week’s single of the week is the excellent Dry Your Eyes by The Streets. The Streets are an English hip-hop/garage/beat combo with two tunes in heavy rotation on U-Pop. Both are good but this one is my favourite.

I hear a lot of good tunes on U-Pop but never remember their names to go look them up. I wish the website would have a playlist or something I could go look at. Also, because a lot of the music is from outside the USA, getting hold of it on MP3 or AAC is near impossible. The Streets do not appear in the iTunes music store.
