This was interesting. An old work colleague sent me this little quiz. You answer a few questions (11 of them) and it spits out a "here's the candidate most closely aligned with your views" answer. I was pretty surprised. You may be surprised, too.

In other news, I heard on NPR today that Radiohead new marketing strategy complete eliminates the record labels. You can preorder a semi-traditional CD for a nominal fee. or you can pre-register to download the music on 10 Oct. Your payment for the downloaded version of the album is "?"...meaning, they're leaving that part up to you. Interesting.

I got Barack Obama first and Fred Thompson last. The funny thing is, I've wanted Thompson to run for years. I was really disappointed when he came out in support of Scooter scooting from justice.
This move by Radiohead could have some interesting repercussions. Given that artists typically make almost nothing from CD sales, it's not like you have much to lose by cutting the labels out of the process. Now, Radiohead is already famous. What about bands that no one's ever heard of? Don't they need the labels to promote them? Well...
I can see a day coming when the most effective method of promoting bands (and making money) is by giving away MP3's. They very thing the RIAA is fighting tooth and nail to prevent.
It selected Mitt Romney for me but I got a little angry watching the news today. I'll hunt down a Valium and try it again tommorrow.
