Curtis Stigers gets ready to release his next album
Submitted by Dana Oland on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 2:18pm, updated on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 2:20pmJazz crooner Curtis Stigers is on a press tour to Germany and the U.K. to advance his new album "Let's Go Out Tonight" on Concord Records. No word yet on an exact release date.
Stigers worked with Grammy-winning producer Larry Kline on this collection of covers. He performs a broad swath of songs various artists, icluding Bob Dylan, Neil Finn and David Poe, who also sings on the album. It's got a very different sound for Stigers. It's still in the jazz vein, but his renditions draw strong influences from pop, folk, blues and old-school R&B.
Stigers appeared on BBC TV today and sang an excerpt of Poe's "Everyone Loves Lovers," which Poe wrote for Stigers.

And it's hardly any day that we are in complete agreement.
Today is such a day. Here's Hoffman's weekly column about the clampdown on security at the Idaho Statehouse. (I blogged about the issue this morning, with a post that will lead my Saturday column). Extra credit to Hoffman for the Darth Vader reference:

Said Crane: “I am delighted with the finding ... which validates the usage of my private vehicle for travel to and from work as being within state policy.”

The politics of detachment at Idaho's 'people's house'
Submitted by Kevin Richert on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 10:35am, updated on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 6:36pmWhen the refurbished Idaho Statehouse reopened in time for the 2010 legislative session, some of the political insiders who lavished praise on the $120 million makeover also voiced some reservations.
They worried that the expanded building, with its new office space, would allow lawmakers to insulate themselves from the people they serve.
