Hey, New Yorkers! A bunch of cool people, some of them from Ida, are working to set up a Rock Camp for Girls in your fair city. They're having a benefit concert on Sunday. Everyone likes benefit! So go see them.

From sometime: NPR's All Songs Considered asks musicians to name the Perfect Song. Ben Gibbard picks "There She Goes," Travis Morrison "Once in a Lifetime," Dan Messé "Wichita Lineman," and Stephin Merritt says it's that song by the Archies, "obviously." And more!

The "listen to the entire show" link doesn't seem to play a show--it just plays the songs--but it's still good reading, and anyway, they're good songs.
