I updated the graphics on the band site to reflect the look of the new CD (I'll be bugging you a lot more about that when it's released in September).
So, I took the hint to update the blog site a little as well. Send me hate mail if you hate it: jk [at] berkeleysquarejazz [dot] com.
The illustration on the top is from the incomparable Chris Muir of Day By Day. That is the finest comic strip anywhere and it is always available from the blogroll. The headers on the band site have his caricature of the whole group, which graces the cover of the new CD.
The blog has just me, to signify that the band is not associated with this blog or its opinions in any way. We'd love to get the gig for the next Michael Moore celebrity gala or back up Barbra Streisand. We have the diversity of political opinions in the band that a modern news room should have. Brian (el Drummero) and I anchor the right flank.
Of course, I would love to add johngalt, silence dogood, sugarchuick, macho duck, saint stephen, cyrano -- you guys make this worthwhile. But I don't know how to talk Chris into doing your likenesses...
Cheers,
jk
As a rational thinker who prefers right and wrong judgments I have an innate aversion to "shades of gray." Seriously though, I think it looks nice. One other suggestion I'll make is the white box background under each blog article, like on pstupidonymous. It helps distinguish between individual blogs.

The comments are easily distinguished from the posts. Since the comments change frequently and the posts usually don't, this makes it very easy to keep up with discussion. Well Done!

Posted by: johngalt at August 25, 2004 03:50 PMPeople might think us partial or partisan if we had a blogs for bush banner...
But seriously folks, I did add a link to them on the blogroll and request to be included -- both for Berkeley Square Blog and www.dogsforbush.com
