Spotted on Amazon.com for the hardcore Caleists:

First, Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war and current member of Congress talks about politics in America and his relationship with Bob Dole. Then, New York Times film critic Janet Maslin, October Films managing executive Bingham Ray, and Newsweek magazine's, David Ansen discuss the recent Cannes film festival, which notably included the films Secrets and Lies and Kansas City. Finally, Mary Harron, writer and director of I Shot Andy Warhol, John Cale, a member of Velvet Underground, and Robert Rosenblum, a professor of fine arts at New York University, discuss the famous artist, Andy Warhol, who combined art with pop culture and continues to captivate America years after his death.

Scarecrow Collection

The Scarecrow Collection is a five-piece from New Jersey. They are currently busy working on their second studio album. Like any decent jamband, they have dozens of shows at the Live Music Archive and you can pick up MP3s at their website (alas: 64kbit, but bandwith ain't cheap). Check out their take on 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover.

Built around the idea that ‘songs come first’, this compelling young band has earned the relentless admiration of music fans all over the Northeast. Reaching far outside of their suburban New Jersey roots for influences, Scarecrow Collection has developed a mature approach to both their songwriting and their performances that has caught the eyes and ears of fans and critics alike.

The Scarecrow Collection are:
Ed Fritz - keys / vocals
Mike Sojkowski - bass
Nick Setteducato - guitar / vocals
Joe Fee - drums
Gerard Fee - guitar / vocals
