State of Delaware doesn't have enough money to clean up snow

Hope it doesn't snow anymore this season!

"As Delaware digs out of about a foot and a half of snow, state officials realized Monday they don't have enough money budgeted to pay for the cleanup.

The state has $3.2 million in its snow removal account. But it costs between $3.5 million and $4 million for every 8 inches of snow that falls, Delaware Department of Transportation Secretary Carolann Wicks said."

Jawbox "Savory" on Jimmy Fallon

Here is Jawbox's reunion performance of "Savory" on Jimmy Fallon. I gotta say this is a really strong effort. They definitely picked the right song and their energy is awesome.

Cool to see a punk rock band get some mainstream props without it being a cheesy cash-in or going-through-the-motions affair. They did this to promote the reissue of "For Your Own Special Sweetheart."



These subsequent Web-only exclusive performances (from the rehearsal I believe?) are a little less powerful, but still quite good.
