Ima Robot is an excellent band whose music mixes a variety of genres. You can call them rock, you can even call them rap, but you must buy their new album, Monument to the Masses. I recently had a chance to speak with the band’s very prolific vocalist, Alex Ebert.

I can’t help but be jokingly hostile with people like Joe Perry and Stewart Copeland. They’re just so damn rich and so damn famous that my anger comes out in my sarcastic questions. I got to speak to The Police’s drummer Stewart Copeland about his new movie Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out which has Copeland narrating over fantastic footage he shot over most of The Police’s career.

Hang on, before getting bent out of shape over the title, let me first explain that I’m not condoning or approving the haphazard looting of small businesses in England. The reason I like the London Riots this week, however, is two fold.

For starters, seeing pictures of people with their brooms held highly in the air is about as British as I can imagine as an American. Shit, it’s damn near Mary fucking Poppins. It’s also inspiring.

The fact that people will come together to clean up their community following the events earlier this week is a positive thing, despite the circumstances that lead to the effort. I sincerely hope people get to know one another better, speak with local shop owners, and don’t forget how important working together as a neighborhood can be, even when there’s not a disaster to overcome.

Second, I hope the riots in England teach us all something – society has to change or it will destroy itself.
