Iowa Predictions

With very few days left until the Iowa caucus here are my picks

Democrats: Edwards, he has been campaigning in the state since 2004 and rural people love him.  He is the second choice pick of most everyone (which matters in Iowa).  I think his win in Iowa should shake up the race enough to make it interesting.  Although i am sad none of the second tier candidates appear to be moving up in the polls

Republicans: Romney, he has the best team, if he wasn't mormon i think he would have the nomination locked up.  I think McCain is going to do better then expected and this will shake up the Republican nomination.

Should be fun to watch, to bad Oregon doesn't matter at all in the nomination process.  If it did i'm sure Kucinich and Ron Paul might have had a chance :)

Saul Williams, Free album, brilliant

I have never been a hip hop fan.  I just don't get it, never connected with me.  Same goes for country.

BUT

Saul Williams is fucking amazing.  Please stop reading this and go check out these videos, and then come back and read the rest.



The way I found out about Saul was reading about his new project The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! which he worked on with Trent Reznor of Nine Inche Nail.

He has put the full album online for free download, unlike Radiohead which really only put some of the album In Rainbows up for download.  If you like the Saul's album then you can buy the higher quality version for $5.  

Now i have to admit i do like his Self Titled album more then the Niggy Tardust album.  

Go check out his new album, if you like it then spend a few dollars and buy the higher quality version OR head over to iTunes and pick up the older album.  

Enjoy!
