The media sure is having a feast on the Swine Flu, eh? I am guessing we'll consider this overblown in a month from now, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm just an ER doc, car wrecks and heart attacks, not epidemiology and infectious disease. For the record though, I am still more scared of an impending social breakdown, cats and dogs sleeping together, zombie attacks and everything else associated with the end of the world when you cross the streams.On a side note, I still love you little porklets! I used to raise pigs and show them at the fair for 4-H.
More important than the swine flu is the new album I am addicted to:
K'naan, 'Troubador'
Growing up in Somalia, in a district named, "The Lake of Blood" during the Somali Civil War gave him more than a little ammo for his lyrics. If you like hip-hop at all, check this album out. If you want just a sample, download: "Wavin' Flag", "Take a Minute" and "America" (the last featuring Mos Def and Chali 2na from good 'ol Ozomatli!)
If you're too lazy to go check K'naan out, here's a completely different genre that is on my favorites right now- "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song", by the Fleet Foxes, covered by 2 girls who go by 'First Aid Kit'. Chad had this on his blog a while ago, but it's worthy enough to post again.

I am thinking that the swine flu maybe a form of the dreaded T-virus! I have my shot gun ready. All I need is the green and red herbs. And where is that creppy guy that ask what I am buying.
T,
I am never amazed at your ability to find this stuff on the web.
"First Aid Kit?"
Can't wait till they come the Biloxi.

I was listening to "All songs considered" - SXSW show. It really makes me want to head down to Austin for four days.
