Shameless Recommendations Version 1.0

I did an on-air version of the "Branded" post for NPR's Day to Day. The piece will air tomorrow (or today, depending on when you read this), Thursday, April 10th. Check your local NPR affiliate to find out when it airs in your city, or stream it online.

In other news, for those of you who reside in the Northwest, I would be remiss not to mention a benefit taking place this Friday, April 11th, called The Buckman Bash. The show will feature solo performances by James Mercer (The Shins), Stephen Malkmus (The Jicks) and will be hosted by Portland actor/writer/artist/self-proclaimed sellout Andrew Dickson.

From The Oregonian:

The Buckman Art Show started in 1991 as a way to support the school while also providing exposure to artists in the community. Buckman Elementary School Arts Focus is a Portland Public School program offering an arts-integrated curriculum, with classes in dance, drama and music and visual art

we want to go to that show so bad, but for 50 bucks a pop, it has to be one we will regretfully miss.
