Tokyo Police Club

Tokyo Police Club is indie at its core, with a pop sensibility with a hyperactive wave freakout. Music Tokyo Police Club delivers the occasional psychedelia and prog with the synthesizer clock, but actually a new band is a product of this growing kids who grew up with science fiction, Weezer, The Strokes, and Led Zeppelin, and even Blink-182 and System of a Down.

There's always something good on rock music that makes you want to dance and jump to yell at his players. Hit on something beyond the age limits and restrictions against the genre classification. And one of them is Tokyo Police Club.

Eight-song EP, A Lesson in Crime (issued by Paperbag in the U.S. & Canada and by Memphis Industries in the UK), followed by singles your english is good, have left the taste on everyone to see what would come. Their debut album Tokyo Police Club, Elephant Shell is the release of April 2008 received very good response.

Martha Coakley has conceded in Massachusetts Senate race against Republican Scott Brown.

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) also released a statement and said that he had prepeared it on Monday to save his time. He said after hearing the news that:
“proud of the speed at which Martha was able to concede the race with even fewer of the votes counted by anyone — zero in Martha’s case — than when I conceded the race for President of the United States in 2004.”

Haiti and Earthquake

Haiti The Haitian capital has largely been destroyed in the most powerful earthquake to hit the country in more than 200 years.

Journalists from The Associated Press described severe and widespread casualties after a tour of streets where blood and bodies could be seen.

The damage is staggering even in a country accustomed to tragedy and disaster. The Associated Press reporters said the National Palace was a crumbled ruin and tens of thousands of people were homeless.

Many gravely injured people sat in the street, pleading for doctors many hours after the quake. Thousands of people were singing hymns and holding hands in public squares.

The 7.0-magnitude quake struck at 4:53 p.m. Tuesday, leaving large numbers of people unaccounted for. The quake collapsed a hospital where people screamed for help and heavily damaged the National Palace, U.N. peacekeeper headquarters and other buildings.

United Nations officials said hours after the quake struck that they still couldn’t account for a large number of U.N. personnel.

Communications were widely disrupted, making it impossible to get a clear picture of the extent of the damage. But vast damage and overwhelming casualties appeared certain even before powerful aftershocks shook the desperately poor country where many buildings are flimsy.

Electricity was out Tuesday night through the darkened capital, phone lines were down, and the airport was shut.

Karel Zelenka, a Catholic Relief Services representative in the capital of Port-au-Prince, a city of 2 million, told U.S. colleagues before phone service went dead that “there must be thousands of people dead.”

Mark McGwire: “I used steroids”

ST. LOUIS — Mark McGwire acknowledged it was “time for me to talk about the past” and admit he used steroids during his playing career in a statement from the former slugger released today by the St. Louis Cardinals.

“I used steroids during my playing career and I apologize,” McGwire said in the statement released by the Cardinals to media outlets around the country. “I remember trying steroids very briefly in the 1989/1990 off season and then after I was injured in 1993, I used steroids again. I used them on occasion throughout the nineties, including during the 1998 season. I wish I had never touched steroids. It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologize. Looking back, I wish I had never played during the steroid era

McGwire also conducted a telephone interview with Joe Strauss of the Post-Dispatch after the statement was released.

“I’ve been telling my family and friends and coaches,” McGwire said. “This is the first time they’ve ever heard me talk about it. I hid it from everybody.

“There have been built up emotions I’ve had inside me a good five years now … I want to come clean.”

For the transcript of McGwire’s interview with Strauss, click here.

McGwire also will be interviewed live by Bob Costas in a special show that begins at 6 tonight (St. Louis time) on MLB Network.

In 1998, while with the Cardinals, McGwire broke the single-season home run record held by Roger Maris. McGwire hit 70 that season, a record that stood until Barry Bonds broke it in 2002.

The reason McGwire acknowledge the use in a statement today, he said in the release, was because of imminent return to the game as the Cardinals hitting coach. Manager Tony La Russa announced in November that McGwire would be joining the coaching staff. Promises by the organization then to make McGwire available “sooner rather than later” did not manifest as attempts to put McGwire before the media were unsuccessful, due to scheduling or other reasons. In the release, he says his return to baseball is a reason for him to “come clean” on subjects he couldn’t five years ago in front of Congress

Minnesota’s life post-Glen Mason has been nothing if not Mason-esque, with the Gophers struggling through back-to-back six-loss seasons under Tim Brewster.The Cyclones had clearly hit rock bottom roughly a year ago, when its second-year coach, Gene Chizik, ditched his rebuilding project for the job at Auburn. As part of his rationale for leaving Ames, Chizik claimed the difficulty in producing a winner at Iowa State to be too demanding a task.
