We have to give a shoutout to PubliCola readers this week: The site had record traffic—averaging well over 3,000 unique visitors a day, a 28 percent increase over last month's 2500; a post on Monday—about Jessie Israel and Nick Licata — set the record for most comments ever on a PubliCola post (73); and by Thursday another post—about Mike McGinn's lawyering at T-Mobile —tied it.

In other cool PubliCola news this week: We added two new Nerds, BarNerd and SoulNerd .  And just wow: Listen to MusicNerd's latest podcast , an exclusive three-song set and interview with Seattle rapper GMK, recorded at our office last Tuesday.



GMK: "What's up is up."
