- Digital School Library Leaves Book Stacks BehindA boarding school in Massachusetts has removed its stacks and book collection to make way for Kindles and a subscription to millions of digital books. Administrators say the changes reflect current student habits; critics say they're rash and don't account for different learning styles.
- Obama Offers States Rewards For Overhauling SchoolsThe Obama administration soon will be awarding billions of dollars in education grants to help local school districts raise the bar on student achievement. In order to qualify for the money, schools may have to grade not only students, but also teachers.

Harbor School Seeks Sea Change In EducationMurray Fisher had a dream: Take the 600 miles of New York City's coastline and all the water surrounding it, and start a maritime high school that would teach inner-city kids about their watery world. His school, the New York Harbor School, is housed in the heart of Brooklyn. But soon, it will move to Governors Island, a tree-covered jewel 800 yards off […]

- NPR Song of the Day (whistle while you research!)
- The Decade In Music: 'N Sync's 'Bye Bye Bye'Every weekday from Nov. 9 to Nov. 20, Song of the Day will survey the past decade, one year (and one song) at a time, with an emphasis on America's most popular music. For the year 2000, it's 'N Sync's "Bye Bye Bye," which feels like the product of a shadowy pre-Sept. 11 world in which telegenic boys dance in unison.
- Visqueen: A Ferocious Song Of DevotionIn Visqueen's crunchy, urgent power-pop song "Hand Me Down," crunchy guitars and Rachel Flotard's incomparable voice simultaneously destroy and mesmerize. As its title suggests, "Hand Me Down" is rooted in a singular bond that spans generations.
- The xx: The Sounds Of Gothic SoulAt first, The xx's "Crystalised" resembles an undercooked demo, as singer-guitarist Romy Croft and guitarist Baria Qureshi strum gloomy notes over muted, rumbling drums. But then the group glides into the chorus and the sudden shift to a bright, melodic key feels jarring in the best sense possible. It's like looking at one of those Magic […]
- Vijay Iyer Trio: Jazz At Its Finest And FriskiestHip-hop aficionados will recognize "Mystic Brew" as the source material for A Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation," in which Ali Shaheed Muhammad exhumed Ronnie Foster's then-obscure 1972 soul-jazz tune. In "Mystic Brew (Trixation Version)," pianist Vijay Iyer at once returns the song to its jazz roots and infuse […]
- The Ettes: Pop And Punk, Packing A WallopThe Ettes' "Take It With You" packs two great tunes into a single song. The first opens with raw guitar, rousing handclaps and a simple melody that sounds sweet enough to sing in a schoolyard. But just when it seems to have settled into a nice groove, "Take It With You" becomes a brand-new song the second the chorus hits.
- Screen Vinyl Image: The '80s In HindsightScreen Vinyl Image fuses together hard-edged dance-rock and synth-fired pop, aided by smoldering guitar drones, cycling synthesizers, wistful lyrics and science-fiction motifs. Appropriately, "Cathode Ray" opens with a whiplash-inducing synth-drum line that wouldn't sound out of place in a New Order track.
- The Mumlers: Just In Time For HalloweenThe Mumlers' new album, Don't Throw Me Away, defies simple categorization. The band's brooding, minor-key songs, led by "Raise the Blinds," suggest a New Orleans-style jazz funeral, with pit stops in the American folk tradition and Southern Gothic music.
- Noah And The Whale: The Aftermath Begins"The First Days of Spring" opens with a drum beat that's part heartbeat, part funeral dirge — which makes sense, given that it kicks off a song cycle about the aftermath of a breakup. What follows, both in the song and on the album that bears its name, is masterful, beautiful, epic, string-swept and ultimately comforting. Even when it ex […]
- Port O'Brien: Joy At The Edge Of SorrowPort O'Brien offers an unromantic but soulful look at the time its members have spent toiling in isolation with the wind at one's back. "Sour Milk / Salt Water" is the most literal interpretation of the musicians' hands-on experiences, even in its production: All the reverb and the backwards-guitar melodies are non-computerized and o […]
- Washed Out: Sweeping Synths, Dunked In ReverbThe one-man band's best song is also its most melodically complex: "You'll See It" is a layered blast of staccato synths, interwoven strings, strutting beats and intricate vocal harmonies. But in spite of its intricacies, Washed Out reveals an uncanny knack for writing melodies that stick. (That synthesizer riff in the chorus is particula […]

- Lions are . . .The New York Times Best Illustrated Books list is out, along with my review of The Lion & the Mouse. What a great book--I wish they had given me twice the space. When I sat down with it and my two young neighbors, the two year old boy announced, looking uncertainly at the cover, "lions are scary." His more intrepid four-year-old sister took ove […]
- Can I buy an umlaut?I love it when my second-favorite magazine meets the interests of my first:"The young miller is naive, vulnerable and over-enthusiastic, with a poetic imagination, but not psychotic! As to the cycle's ending, his death in the brook makes me think of the Philip Pullman trilogy His Dark Materials. Pullman imagines death as a dispersal into the univer […]
- If Jim Carrey says it's Christmas now, who are we to argue?While we've already given you our choice of the best holiday-themed books of the season, Deborah Stevenson and her elves at BCCB offer a handy handout of more than three hundred recent titles suitable for gift-giving. Deborah and I both learned our trade from Zena Sutherland and Betsy Hearne, so you know she has excellent taste. Too.
- More MetaIn Betsy Bird's SLJ article "This Blog's for You" (and I thank her for including Read Roger in the list of "Ten Blogs You Can't Live Without"), she asks a bunch of swell questions:Do kids' lit bloggers influence publishing decisions? Are library systems basing their purchasing decisions on our recommendations? Should t […]
- Not quite the Myracle it seemsWhile Scholastic has gotten a lot of press these last couple of weeks about censoring its book club selections, this is not new; the company has been cleaning up its club editions ever since dirty words started appearing in children's books. Six Boxes of Books has the best analysis of the controversy I've seen yet.Props to SLJ for getting this stor […]
- Why Such a Lonely Beach?The new issue of the Magazine is out (with a cover by Lane Smith that makes me want to watch Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol immediately). You can see the table of contents with links to selected reviews (holiday books!) and articles (fan fiction!) right over here.
- I know this has happened before,but when do you think trick-or-treating starts when Halloween is on a Saturday? I can't believe Hopey has been running things since January and still hasn't gotten back to us on this.
- Let's not forget that the gal had a good point, butThe discussion/flamewar over at Betsy's place about the Amazon Vine program reminds me yet again of the best way to get people to leave comments on a blog post: write something about blogging that implies in even the tiniest way that some practices might be better than others. People love to go all meta on that stuff.In other words, as Betty Cavanna […]
- Paging the Ambassador . . .The most interesting statistic of this teen reading survey concerns who responded to it: "while we purposely marketed the survey to attract male readers, females are the vast majority (96%) of responders."It would be really good to know if book reading breaks down in similarly dramatic proportions. We know that girls and women read more books than […]
- The science museum had lost its charmI twittered my on-the-spot reactions to the Harry Potter exhibit at the Boston Museum of Science, mainly, as a way to kill time because this show was definitely So Not My Thing. While I knew it was going to be about the films (which I've only seen out of the corner of my eye on TV) rather than the books, I dragged my companions along to the preview with […]

It took til August (three months later) and some aggressive cleaning to remove the last of the sparkles from the plastic table. The child's […]
