Highlights from today included Erica Williams’s passionate call to see her generation and their political interest as it really is, Zee Avi’s bright lyrics, Chris Jordan’s stunning photos of plastic inside albatross at Midway Atoll, John Fetterman on what his town isn’t, and Reuben Margolin on waves, beads, and the movement of light:

I don’t want to hate, but people who often preface a statement by "I don’t want to be/sound/come off as/" are often doing exactly that.

Zee Avi – sultry voice, happy music, catchy lyrics – but it feels utterly derivative. She feels exactly like Norah Jones. Hey, two would be nice. I just hate how identical and clonish the music and lyrics sound! The only slight difference is a touch more Diablo Cody smart-for-smart’s-sake touch to the lyrics, but that’s so little it doesn’t make up.

I apologize for hating, but I feel passionately enough about this poor music to comment.
