Grails – Take Refuge
What do you think? I find this track very interesting. Note the version in the video is different than the one on the album which you can also listen to on their pages. It is a fusion of many types of music. More on them at:Wait there’s more!
I’ve been listening to The National also. Their lead singer has a very interesting voice.

p>And how did I find out about these bands. Well, I download and sometimes listen to NPR All Songs Considered podcast and heard the Grails on the July 14, Vikings Choice podcast so went to Emusic where I have an account to download music and got the Grails and then started poking around and found The National.

Don’t Hang out the Window and Film Lightning Storms
Because you insisted, here’s the unedited screaming version. I also added video from a minute before the lightning struck so you can get an idea of how hard it was raining. From what i understand, it went through my left hand holding the camera, crossed my back and exited out of my right hand holding onto the metal railing. No entry or exit wounds, as i was not directly struck, i got just a really good zap from one of the “finger arcs” that happen when lightning hits.
Not me of course. Though I remember when we lived in Colombia we ended up in a very intense lighting storm and lightning hit very close to us!

Vintage Photos from the US Library of Congress
Photograph shows half-length portrait of two girls wearing banners with slogan "ABOLISH CHILD SLAVERY!!" in English and Yiddish, one carrying American flag; spectators stand nearby. Probably taken during May 1, 1909 labor parade in New York City.
The US Library of Congress has free public domain photos taken before 1930. Meaning you can generally use it anyhow anywhere as you like. Go here for more examples.
