...lucky souls the promise of these new sounds is too much to resist.It would be dismissive to call Sublime Frequencies a label solely interested in “world music,” a term that has become marginalized and even slightly pejorative in the ears of mainstream music fans.

I am a moderate Democrat but was very disappointed at the obvious partisan trashing of Governor Palin by so many of my fellow women.
