I must bring your attention to three things:

1. Congratulations to McGehee. Three years of blogging is a tremendous accomplishment, and he’s remained one of my favorites since I discovered him.

2. Four freakin’ bunnies. That’s what Playboy.com is giving the upcoming Screaming Trees retrospective, Oceans of Confusion. Assuming I can find an outlet that’s carrying it here in Denver, I am only two days removed from hearing two unreleased Screaming Trees songs (along with, of course, having a sort of “best of” from the Trees’ three Epic releases). It doesn’t get any better than four bunnies, folks.

3. Val has been an unyielding force in writing about Castro’s government. As a resource for anyone who cares about freedom for Cubans, his Babalu Blog is an important resource. For the last few days, he has also been blogging from the Cuba Nostalgia convention. Just click and scroll for beautiful pictures, commentary, and thoughts from Val and a handful of his friends and supporters.
