babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.
Well after that sun shower maybe Gene Kelly? Or am I just a fool in the rain?

Been on a country music kick this week - mostly old Kristofferson, Cash, Dolly Parton, and some Shania Twain. Better than that phony artifical crap found on CMT these days. I saw Kristofferson live at a coffee house in Ottawa 40+ years ago around the time of his very first album.
Well my old MP3 player died (it had a long life) and I have been spending the afternoon ripping CDs to fill up the replacement one (a quarter the cost of the ancient one, and 3.5 times the capacity) - so I have been hearing a lot of Joan Armatrading. R.E.M., The Replacements and The Roches too (can you tell the "Rs" are on my desk as I type), but mostly Joan.

Dawn and Marra - incredibly talented young ladies (very young).

Have gone back to the 60s and 70s with Dusty Springfield and Linda Ronstadt. Good stuff.
Photos from the earlier class wars and union strikes and then photos from 2011. Beautiful version a song performed by many.

Hanging out with the slovenian art crew downstairs, I find myself listening to a lot of Laibach lately.
