today i'm spending my lunch with salon.com. i only click through the ad every third day or so (mostly to read king kaufman writing about baseball). today i decided to break from my usual pattern and see what the online magazine had to offer. i found a few things worth reading (or, closely skimming):

eric boehlert on wilco and the new book about the band

an article about zen arcade that starts off slowly, recapping everything you read in "our band could be your life" (i got bored and didn't finish it, so i'm not sure if it finishes stronly or not)

andrew leonard on his love for digitizing his music and the ridiculousness of the music industry trying to stomp out his newfound enthusiasm for new music
