Anatomy of an iTunes Music Store binge through the eyes of my shuffle:

• Pre-pre-binge
• Pre-binge
• Post-binge

(Have I mentioned how much I love my shuffle before now? No? Er, sorry about that. I ipodded my car, tossed all the old CD mixes out, and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I love the randomness. Welcome to the iCult, Brett.)

New flotsam, with continued apologies to my wonderful wife: dry monkey.

Ah, vacuum.

The binge continues.

(I should probably just point people at the directory and be done with it. But I get such nice email about my music choices!)

Congratulations, Jake!

Jake Zimmerman’s concession to area Democratic leaders a few months ago — who talked him into dropping his bid for the County Council and run instead for the state Legislature — has paid off.

As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, Zimmerman is unopposed for the 83rd District state House seat in mid-St. Louis County. He’s guaranteed election in November. No August primary, no frenzied fall.

And better yet, he has a fat warchest — $142,632, as of his latest report — that can collect interest over the next two years.
