The Seldon Plan's Baltimore

Atomic Books

Frontman Michael Nestor gently cradles a copy of "Lost and Found and Lost" (for sale at Atomic Books!) while Dineen looks on. Not only does Nestor have a career in neuroscience research, he's also committed to political issues. "A lot of my friends who wouldn't talk politics [before the recession], now all they want to do is talk about politics."

Additionally, Nestor says, he's "curious about how all the negative energy [caused by the recession] will affect music and art. This has made our generation political."
