Los Desterrados (The Exiles) are a London-based six-piece playing in the Sephardic music tradition that originated in medieval Spain’s Jewish communities and was the ancestor of flamenco. The intense, passionate folk style has been dragged into the modern era by acts such as Mor Kabasi, Yasmin Levy and Los Des themselves. (Their 2006 album Tu was a scintillating success on the global music scene.) The band take to the stage tonight to play Balkan- and Gypsy-infused tracks from just-released third album.

You never know where you are gonna find a political scoop, but Lynn Zinser at her NYT hockey “Slapshot” blog just posted that Sarah Palin, in her much-ballyhooed appearance dropping the puck at the Philly Flyers’ opener, was greeted by “resounding (almost deafening) boos from the Flyers crowd.”

Are you thick, jones? That long, droning hum of “boooooooooooooo…..” is obvious to anyone who has ever been to any sporting event. Not even the music that was turned up even louder once the booing started could drown them out…

The world's largest retailer has decided to maintain its digital rights management servers for the present time based on feedback from [its] customers.? No joke'that's what they said.
