A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION: As an occasional public service of ALOTT5MA, we like to make sure folks are clear on the distinctions between things that kind of sound the same, but are, in fact, entirely different. Spurred by erroneous DJ chatter this morning, just to clarify:

• OneRepublic--fairly successful mopey band that performs "Apologize."
• The New Republic--Wonky neo-liberal political magazine owned edited by Martin Peretz.

No, The New Republic has not yet been remixed by Timbaland (though that would be kind of awesome).
