Weekly Picks From the Band

Book of the Week
	Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. The series was published by DC Comics during 1986 and 1987, and has been subsequently reprinted into collected form. Moore used the story as a means to reflect contemporary anxieties and to critique the superhero concept. Watchmen depicts an alternate history where superheroes emerged in the 1940s and 1960s, helping the United States to win the Vietnam War.
Movie of the Week
	Traffic is a 2000 American crime drama film directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Stephen Gaghan. It explores the intricacies of the illegal drug trade from a number of perspectives: a user, an enforcer, a politician and a trafficker, whose lives affect each other although they do not meet. The film is an adaptation of the British Channel 4 television series Traffik.
Album of the Week
	Vespertine, released in August 2001, is an album by the Icelandic singer/songwriter/musician Björk. It sees Björk creating a quiet, introverted world of swirling microbeats and personal lyrics. Björk uses an array of sampled objects to create beats and soundscapes in a number of songs on Vespertine, including shuffling cards on « Cocoon » and « Hidden Place« ; snow being walked upon on « Aurora« , and ice being cracked and smashed on « Frosti« .
Website of the Week
	School Lunch Revolution: Veg Out! URGENT! Ask your representative to support the Improving Nutrition for America’s Children Act to help schools serve more fruits, vegetables, and plant-based options. Look up your representative’s # at the site. Please share this link!
