...Gore created 22 million new jobs." So says Democratic National Committee chief Terry McAuliffe and just about every Democrat alive. How can anyone believe this? Clinton did not create any jobs. Bill Gates did. Andy Grove did. Jeff Bezos did. In fact, they created an industry. The '90s were a decade when the silicon chip met the "peace dividend" - billions saved by the ending of the cold war - and gave us an economic boom. Clinton deserves credit for not getting in the way. He fulfilled the economic Hippocratic oath: first do no harm. Not screwing up a boom going...
Most of the interviews with Jean Dominique, his wife Michelle and employees of Radio Haiti Inter were filmed in the late 80s and early 90s, giving even this footage a sense of vintage. Other interviews are more recent, filmed in the late 90s, following the resurrection of the Aristide regime after an American military force landed on the island as peackeepers.

The man has proved impossible to pin down for any extended period of time. But now he has reconvened with bassist and songwriter Jason Lowenstein to tour as Sebadoh, the masthead of his most prolific and beloved act. Lowenstein and Barlow were brought together for the 10th anniversary celebration of British label Domino Records, whose first release...
...played mid-set at their Sunday night concert at T.T. the Bear’s Place. “Self-righteous but never right / so laid-back but so uptight.” The feud between the two has been among the most historic in 90s indie rock, but reconciliation seems to be on the way: the two are sharing a stage at a Smith College benefit show in their mutual home of Northampton later this year. Fans witnessing Barlow’s reconvening with Lowenstein are forced to at least speculate whether one with Mascis could be equally possible...
