Weekend Music Thread: Better the Second Time Around?

A manic phase won’t let me sleep in spite of the drugs so here is a song by Moodswings for all the other manic-depressives out there.

Moodswings does a sweet techno-trance version of Jon and Vangelis’ “State of Independence” featuring vocals by Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders.

The Occupy Wall Street Thread

Typical of The Denver Post, the article is short on details. It does imply that the lawyer is not associated with the Occupy Wall St. movement.

It seems some people have found a new angle to attack the Occupy protesters. A Denver attorney filed a trademark claim for “Occupy Denver”.
