Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

Plugging

By Matthew Yglesias

The City Veins

With apologies to Brian Beutler for stealing his title, he reminded me that I really ought to plug my friend Charles' band, the City Veins pictured above playing at the Velvet Lounge on Friday (photo taken on my iPhone, naturally).

They're quite good, in my view, and also have a properly updated blog, not like one of these bands that says they're going to do a blog and then doesn't really follow-through. Even better, you don't need to take my word for it, since you can download their album here for free -- all you need to take my word on is the idea that you should should click the link and listen to a free EP.

Also, Le Loup, another local band I went to see recently is worth a bit of your time. No free downloads, but you can listen to a few songs here. Given the name, I feel they ought to be located in Montreal with We Are Wolves and Wolf Parade, but I guess some things don't work out the way I'd like.
