One Day to Go

(William Hogarth, "The Polling," number 3 from  The Election; more here.)

A basic fact - not discussed in the American press enough - is how much non-Americans are pulling for Barack Obama tomorrow.  For those of us out here on tour in Europe (and South America recently) it could not be more obvious.  The whole planet is biting its nails.

Some non-presidential links:

Alex Ross' essential The Rest is Noise is out in paperback and boasts an expanded Audio Guide.

Ben Ratliff covers the Woodstock Creative Music Studio; unusually for the NY Times, there are audio samples too.  Nice to hear Roscoe Mitchell's words of encouragement to his large ensemble...and nice to hear his criticism, too!

Chris Nakashima-Brown on Zebulon Pike et al.  (Sorry the gig is over already.)
