Today is the day to lick your batteries for one extra minute of juice.

In case you disbelieved yesterday's wrapup of Book House Rock, check out Neal Pollack's own telling of it on Slate. I'm aware that I have some new visitors due to Slate, and to you I say welcome; I hope you stick around. I promise I will never ask you for money for drugs.

I have something extra for you to read today, in addition to today's list (that's how we work here on Zulkey; Tuesdays are list days, although that doesn't mean they only exist there.) Do me a favor and check out the article I have on Knotmag regarding a phenomenon called Punk Rock Aerobics. It features the expert quoting of Mr. Pollack himself, as well as everybody's favorite, Jim Ruland. Read it!

And now...
