Though I’m fairly irked a good story about Alan Lomax got into the Times before I had a chance to finish what I was writing about the man and his music and send it who knows where, the important bit is this: you’ll be able to listen 17,000 recordings he made for free starting tomorrow.

UPDATE: 10:07PM: The Globe Metro Desk: “But the protesters soon left the park and headed back toward Copley.”
“A larger-than-life presence of his era, Mr. White had deep roots in the parochial old political culture of the city, but lightning instincts and a roving intellect that propelled him to national stature.

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott were trapped in a Canberra building for up to half an hour after 200 Aboriginal protesters stormed the entrance this afternoon.
The two had been presenting the National Emergency Medals at the Lobby Restaurant on King George Terrace, near the Aboriginal tent embassy.
Reports say one woman ran into the restaurant and threw white flowers at the Prime Minister.
About 200 protesters followed, banging on the three glass sides of The Lobby restaurant chanting “shame” and “racist”.
At least 50 police, including the riot squad, were called to the scene shortly after 2.30pm.
The two leaders, protected by police and security officers, escaped out a side door after about 20 minutes.
