Let's be clear: Julian Assange is not a journalist. He uncovered and released information that the political establishment and government wanted to stay hidden. Does that sound like the work of a journalist?

Tim Berne's latest album is the heaviest thing I've ever heard from him. Dubbed-out, distorted skronk-doom on a level with PainKiller's Execution Ground. I think this band is playing NYC sometime soon, too, for those of you in the area. timberneintakt.bandcamp.com/album/candid
