I had these songs running through my head last night and I thought I'd put them together in a playlist.
Though it's not in order of release (I know the Knife's version came first), I think this flow is better as it builds as the songs go on. José González starts it off with his cover of the Knife's 'Heartbeats,' which comes second. Finally I threw in the Get Busy Committee's new track, 'My Little Razorblade,' that builds off the Knife's version and adds some much needed attitude to the electronic rhythm. Also, I highly recommend the Get Busy Committee's album Uzi Does It, because who doesn't love koalas, machine guns, and good samples?
Ladies and gentleman, introducing the Evolution of Heartbeats:

On the spot . . .
Lately, I've been obsessed with the Onion's headlines. They're always witty, to the point and absolutely spot-on. Some recent faves include
Today I was reminded of the other news source in the U.S. that is as spot-on as the Onion: Jon Stewart. I'm probably the last person to get into a health care argument right now (for the record: I'm for reform, but I don't know what kind), so I'll let Jon Stewart do it for me.
I also recently learned of some health-care horror stories that were recounted on a friend's Facebook status update, a simple complaint that was hijacked into a long thread of people's frustrations with the current health care system. It just doesn't seem like the Man in D.C. pays attention to the man in the rest of the country.
So here is one of Stewart's takes on health care reform. Full disclosure: it's a trap.

UPDATE: Damn you Hulu and Comedy Central, why can't you just play nice?
