TLC Playlist: Holiday Stress

The holidays are stressful. Especially when the pressures of work, shopping, traveling and unpredictable weather are all involved.

In an attempt to get out those sour feelings and make room for the holiday cheer, I've put together this playlist. Whatever you can't handle now can be dealt with next year.

Vote! Vote! Vote!

Politics are a touchy subject, but I must express how important this election is. The decision is in our hands as American citizens. I'm registered to vote in Upstate New York so I will continue the tradition of voting with my mother.

This election frightens me a lot. I don't think I need to say who I'll be voting for but I'm sure you already know!

Death Cab for Cutie posted the following links on their Myspace that may be of help: Early Voting and Voting Info. Also check out the special EP How Many Votes Fix Mix that M.I.A. released for this monumental election and read her latest Myspace blog entry here.

PLEASE VOTE.
