Weekend reading

I just got back from Nashville where I saw Belle & Sebastian at the Ryman. The show was amazing -- one of the best concerts I've ever seen. While hunting down the show's set list online, I found that NPR has posted a hefty MP3 of the band's recent DC show on its web site. It's the whole show -- all one hour and forty minutes of it.

While you're listening, you might also want to check out my latest two columns. Or maybe not.

This week's Don't Panic discusses why we're sending nuclear technology to India and why India is sending mangoes to us. A fair trade, I think.

And this week's Scene & Herd, my last for three months, is about StoryCorps, Ariel Pink (It's hard out here for a Pink!) and the sex lives of pandas.
