I played the closing set at Chillits this past weekend, starting around 11:15 on Sunday morning. Since this was the end of the event, I decided to expand a bit beyond the usual chillitude expected of Chillits DJs: I played political music, with guitars and even some yelling in places. But of course I tried to make it fun, or at least enjoyable.

I'm not sure if it was successfully recorded -- I'll update this article if it was -- but a couple people have asked for a track listing, and for once I'm able to supply one.

'Dismayed by the system they helped to create, some veteran political strategists are out to subvert it -- and create a better choice for 2008.'

'One of the many things that differentiate Unity08 from earlier third-party movements is that its founders aren't putting forward their own candidate. What they have in mind might instead best be thought of as the "Field of Dreams" model: build a mechanism whereby qualified individuals of insufficient partisanship to win the Republican or Democratic nomination gain a legitimate shot at the White House, and trust that the best candidates will come.'

I've only started hearing about this project in the past 12 hours, so I don't have a firm opinion yet...but at first glance, it sure does sound interesting. (Both quotes are from this Atlantic article.)
