Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning Seattle Post-Intelligencer editorial cartoonist and journalist David Horsey makes this welcome return with a new collection of his cartoons, Draw Quick, Shoot Straight (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). Ranging back over the past few years—to the 2004 campaign and thereabouts to quite recently—this book carries some of the most pithy, and picturesque commentary on the farce/tragedy that is the current administration ('all hat, no cattle') and its misdoings ... with plenty of local colors drawn in, for good measure. This should be fun.

#23 KEXP Live at the Triple Door Presents Billy Bragg
In Britain he's been called both 'a national treasure', and "a one man Clash". In the two and a half decades of his career Billy Bragg has certainly made an indelible mark on the conscience of British music, becoming perhaps the most stalwart guardian of the radical dissenting tradition that stretches back over centuries of the country's political, cultural and social history. Whether he's singing his own songs or the works of Woody Guthrie, Bragg always keeps one foot in the distempered, DIY spirit of punk and the other in the socially conscious folk tradition.
