What, you expected front-man Geddy Lee to come out on top? Not so! But, really, we all know Neil Peart is the true creative genius of the three. (And, um, I may have just revealed too much about my interest in this band. Moving along...)

Try it out for yourself at Wikirank, and let us know what you think.

"The international community should work with the Cuban people to begin to build institutions that are necessary for democracy," he said. "Eventually, this transition ought to lead to free and fair elections -- and I mean free, and I mean fair -- not these kind of staged elections that the Castro brothers try to foist off as true democracy."

I wish I could take him seriously. Yes, of course Cuba should have free and fair elections. But of all the people to be calling for them...

If you use Google Analytics, let me know what you think of the redesign. The new version will roll out to all accounts over the next month or so.

I was standing at the time, but the man sitting in front of me reached down and grabbed the coin. Then he looked up at me and, from a mouth subtly outlined with almost gelatinous saliva, said what turned out to be the most entertaining thing I'd heard all day:

"It's my lucky travel coin," he epxlained. He paused for a second or two before continuing. "I'm having trouble recovering the disk drive because, well, you know, we're like in it."

I couldn't really disagree. As I nodded back he added, "So, you know, I don't really want to reformat it or reboot."

So very true.

Ours is a perilous time, apparently: since the group's inception, members have posted nearly 4,000 photos of "warning signs showing stick figures in dangerous, often life-threatening, situations" (as the group's original description puts it). Here's the awesome photo that started it all:

View the photo on Flickr and you'll see the comment from my brother Jeff that inspired me to name the group as I did. He's a witty one, that Jeff.

"The Funeral" is one of the best of the songs. It's got this great line, belted out over and over: "At every occasion, I'll be ready for a funeral." Amazingly, this doesn't come across as corny; in fact, it's incredible and powerful and -- I want to be careful to not be corny here myself, but -- almost majestic. Majesty: it's the word the Pitchfork review uses, which puts it better than I can: "Turning despondency into indie majesty is a major talent of Band of Horses; their music is carefully balanced to evoke specific emotional responses while allowing space for personal projection."

Ok, so I think all this talk has gotten a little corny. Just go listen to this great record. And listen closely.

It's a pretty simple document structure, really. Though not quite as simple as Google's home page, of course.

Weird. I'd never heard of that. I asked him why on earth the city would do such a thing.

"Well," he said, "I think they're trying to make up for the fact that they don't have enough police out on the streets."

Huh?

Oh, wait: does it cause people to pay a little closer attention while driving or something like that? Sure, the idea seemed far-fetched, but it's all that came to mind at the time.

"No, no" my driver explained," actually, it makes people sleepy."

Oh.

Right.

That's when I realized I was engaged in one incredibly interesting conversation.

He reiterated: "Yep, they don't have enough cops out here, so they dim the lights to make us tired, keep us in line."

And yes, at this point, maybe part of me thought I should say something along the lines of "Oh, you know what? Actually, I want to get out here. Yeah, right here. Here's my stop! Thanks!"

But I didn't.
