Just so we&#8217;re on the same page, Voldemort is going around killing people and eventually tries to kill Harry Potter. He&#8217;s thwarted in this pursuit, because his mother gives her life to save him.
So am I to believe that Harry is the first child that Voldemort tries to murder? Wouldn&#8217;t any parent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ It took about a hundred pages, but this turned into a pretty good book. That&#8217;s about when the action picked up, but also when I figured out that this was a true story. It&#8217;s quite strange to read a book from the mid-1980&#8217;s in the eWorld of 2007. The author spends a significant amount [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ This is not an easy premise to buy into, judging by who the president is and what&#8217;s played on the radio. What it boils down to however is sample size. Even if it&#8217;s from the world&#8217;s leading expert, the judgment from a single person is at a disadvantage compared to the collected opinion of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
A few thoughts in retrospect of the Decemberists show a couple weeks ago:

By my count, they only played 13 songs, but since three of those were more than ten minutes each.
I never thought I&#8217;d see a show which featured an accordion.
And like it.
Nor did I ever expect to see a large, papier mache whale at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Does anyone remember the pre-Daily Show Jon Stewart? I don&#8217;t remember much about him, except that MTv kept giving him shows. They weren&#8217;t funny. I didn&#8217;t think anything he said was funny. When Stewart replaced Craig Kilborn on The Daily Show, I actually thought it was a step down for Comedy Central (if that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The Kite Runner is the five-tool player of books; it does a lot of things well. But, as with many five-tool players in baseball, it has no truly outstanding points. The plot is good, but a tad formulaic. The theme of redemption has been done better elsewhere. I hoped this would be sort of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The Tipping Point evolved from an explanation of word-of-mouth into a study on epidemic theory on social trends. Like Gladwell&#8217;s other book, Blink, the chapters are layed out as a series of personal anecdotes and sociological or psychological experiments which support the chapter&#8217;s hypothesis. Highlights include the fall and rise of Hush Puppies and [...]]]></description>

But it got my attention, and after checking out their visit to Morning Becomes Eclectic, Camera Obscura [official site / allmusic entry] made it to the list. This is their third, and most polished, full length album. The tone is pretty mellow and upbeat highlighted by Tracyanne [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I discovered the Shins, I completely devoured their two albums. I almost resorted to buying CD singles just to get a few more of their tracks. It wasn&#8217;t until listening to their show on Morning Becomes Eclectic that I learned about their predecessors, Flake Music. I&#8217;m not sure predecessors is the right word, since [...]]]></description>
