Previewing Lollapalooza 2009: The best bets from a packed but …
Chicago Sun-Times
Butler Field NorthAfter postmodern R&B songstress Santigold (Santi White) struts her stuff at the other end of the northern field–and either is hypnotizing or snooze-inducing; I’ve seen her be both–these genre-defying heroes of the underground should once again pick up the pace with their electrifying and unforgettably tuneful mix of noise- and dance-rock world rhythms experimental soundscapes and Tunde Adebimpe’s unforgettable vocals. Animal Collective 7:30 Hutchinson Field North (Vitaminwater Stage)If ever a group epitomized the new Lollapalooza’s ideal demographic mix of jam band electronic-dance and alternative rock it’s these Baltimore-to-Brooklyn transplants who are riding high on the best and most focused of their nine albums “Merriweather Post Pavilion. ” Even better they brought a similarly welcome discipline to their live show at Metro earlier this year. In fact after the Beastie Boys dropped out as one of two Saturday headliners their slot easily could have gone to the fancifully pseudononymous Avey Tare Panda Bear and Geologist. As it is Saturday will close with dance-punks the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the northern end of Butler and prog-metal favorites Tool at the southern end of Hutchinson. Both acts have their merits but neither is really headline-worthy for a world-class festival.

“That’s how the whole thing got started. Beggs who is a drummer said he organized the 10 local acts performing at the show in an attempt to appeal to all musical tastes.

Tunnel under delta could be alternative to canal
San Diego Union Tribune
But tens of millions of people rely on the delta as a prime distribution channel. About one-third of the San Diego region’s water supplies and two-thirds of the state’s flow through it. The tunnel alternative offers some benefits particularly by limiting the number of properties that would have to be condemned along the canal route Snow said. Going underground also could be less harmful to fish and wildlife. Just as important a tunnel may be an easier sell to the public and lawmakers than above-ground plumbing. ?bviously there’s a lot of resistance to a canal? said Laura King Moon who represents a coalition of agencies that buy water from the state. ?A tunnel could be easier politically.
