Conor Oberst turned 31 on Tuesday. Yes, the boy wonder, the
youthful genius, is, well, no longer a boy. He hasn't been for
quite some time. Fittingly, his most recent album and the first
from the Bright Eyes moniker since 2007's Cassadaga, is
coming out today. Perhaps he hasn't changed that much, after all,
what with this presumptuous birthday present to himself. But one
listen to The People's Key and there is a recognizable
difference, dare I say, maturity, to the sound of the record. Yes,
yes, yes, don't worry. He's still dealing with life's difficulties
and the human's transport through time and life and hell and all of
that. There is an edge to it though, not sonically, not like an
ass-kicking Desaparecidos song with huge guitar hooks and loud
screams, but there's something dark, harvested far beneath the
surface. Oberst has been a rock star for what is far beyond the
majority of his life, having been Commander of Venus at age
thirteen.

From the first twang of electric guitars on the opening
track, ""Jefferson Jericho Blues,"" the essence of Petty's early
records—and more importantly of his roots, the American South—come
through.

Lacking my iPod that I had left behind the last time I was home,
I was much more perceptive of my surroundings on my walk home from
work on a typically frigid January evening this past week. This
heightened level of auditory and visual awareness took my mind away
from its normal daydream instead to the attention of a woman. She
was pushing a high stack of blue soda containers via cart on the
sidewalk outside of the Equinox. Seeing that she was struggling to
push the top-heavy cart over a raised slab of concrete, I asked her
if I could be of any assistance. Her reply was one of
self-determination.

Dan Auerbach, singer and guitarist of The Black Keys, released
his first solo effort this February, titled Keep It
Hid. The album is a nice
blend of his signature garagey blues-rock guitar technique and
several softer and lighter strummed melodies.

poses a doll-like Annie
Clark, seemingly frozen in time like on the album's cover
art. This surrealistic photograph seems to
embody the same bewilderment one feels when listening to St.
Vincent's music. Lost in the foggy wonderland of obscure lyrics,
her sweet voice and the ever-evolving background music that
surprises with every turn.

The debut from Girls, Album, commences with the
retrospective ""Lust for Life,"" which traces singer/songwriter
Christopher Owens' reflection of his youth, singing about the lack
of a ""loving man"" in his life with a devastating whine, ""And
maybe then I woulda turned out right / But now I'm just crazy, I'm
totally mad / Yeah I'm just crazy, I'm fucked up in the head.""
One cannot help but draw connections to Owens' obscure youth as a
member of the Children of God cult and his straightforward lyrical
expression.

In a ""60 Minutes"" interview with Steve Kroft, President Barack
Obama defended his treasury secretary appointee by rejecting the
possibility of Timothy Geithner stepping down: ""No. And—and he
shouldn't. And if he were to come to me, I'd say, ‘Sorry, Buddy.
You—you've still got the job.'""

Our government, and our nation as a whole, has a problem—one
that may not even be our fault. It is a problem evident in even the
earliest stages of youth. Shortsightedness is this problem—the
inability to look past the short-term. It is not hard to believe
that this notion is carried forth to ensure personal benefit; this
is our psychological motivation for self-interest at work. You are
probably wondering what is wrong with personal success. There is
absolutely nothing wrong with personal success, but the nation's
problem is far beyond that.
