Pitchfork has a review of The Conet Project, which was the subject of an article, linked to on this very site, in the Washington Post earlier this week. Do I smell a ham radio movement brewing? We'll know for sure if it gets mentioned in Us Weekly's year-end round-up: "Hot: Ham radio; Not: Honey-baked ham."

After reading about the review and article, I think I need to go back and listen to "Poor Places" and see knowing the real-life espionage background of the "yankee hotel foxtrot" sample adds any new layers of meaning to the song, or if it was added because sounds cool.

Update: The fever is spreading. Freestyle Conet Project Battles. I think we're almost at saturation point. The Shaw Report in Entertainment Weekly is seriously considering filing The Conet Project under "5 Minutes Ago".
