In light of what happened in New York and Washington DC, I ask anybody in the United States to please donate blood if possible. They can find out about where in their area to do so at www.redcross.org or by calling 1-800-GIVE-LIFE. You can also call 1-800-933-2566. Though the Red Cross has received many donations, more are needed.
And now for what you came here for…

Bill Gates Finally Getting Into Radiohead’s Kid A
From the always humorous site, The Onion:
REDMOND, WA? Eleven months after purchasing the Radiohead album, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced Monday that he is “finally getting into Kid A.” “I listened to it a few times when I first got it, but it just wasn’t grabbing me,” Gates told The Seattle Post-Intelligencer. “I liked ‘Morning Bell’ and ‘Optimistic,’ but the rest just seemed like this intentionally weird mess. Then I took it out again maybe a month ago, and it finally started to sink in. Now I think I even like it better than OK Computer.” Gates said he still hasn’t gotten around to picking up Amnesiac. {thanks to Pete, Marc, Steve, & HeadofState}

You can hear a clip of the Luka Bloom cover of “No Surprises” here. Here are some comments made by Bloom:
“People ask me if I have heard their new CD. I heard a few pieces on the radio and I’m not really interested. I respect the decisions and choices made by every artist, and whether or not I like the result is irrelevant. I just like songs. I think Thom Yorke is a magnificent writer. He has written some brilliant songs and Radiohead is a great band. No Surprises is a very beautiful, very sad song. It was not easy to catch the power acoustically. Thom Yorke sings it in a very intense way and I felt it was a real challenge to achieve that same feeling using just the acoustic guitar. But I like such a challenge. Records these days are so full of production gadgets that you have to listen many times to hear the good songs. I wanted to see if I could turn a Radiohead song into a Luka Bloom song.”
