I am listening to What's He Building in There
This is our catchphrase whenever a wierd noise comes through on the baby monitor. I love that track - "they say he had a consulting business in Indonesia..."
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Still, I'm on the list for pitches.
Book-ma to you as well, H!
If I had to pick, I would pitch The Soft Bulletin. A co-worker I was discussing this with mentioned that they haven't done a hip-hop album yet. I would pitch the first Roots album if I was to pick a hip hop album - that is based on personal preference, of course, and not what I think is the most important and book-deserving of all hip hop albums.
My real point in posting was to remind folks to watch/tape/Tivo American Masters on PBS tonight to catch the two-hour Scorcese-directed Bob Dylan documentary (which finishes up with another two hours tomorrow night).
Interesting review from Slate: [link]
Thanks, Tina!

Oh, I didn't know this was going to be on PBS so I bought the DVD as a present for my husband.
It's quite good, though I would have liked to see more live footage.

I think there's actually less in the version that's airing on PBS, so you may have made the right call.

This plus - due to corporate sponsorship from Apple (pt. 1) and Starbucks (pt. 2) they are bleeping the dreaded curse words. So def. good call on the DVDs.
I loved it though. I can't wait for tonight's conclusion.
I forgot about it & spent last night working on the family finances. I would have preferred Dylan, natch.
Most PBS stations are replaying it through the week and then playing all four hours together this Sunday. As they say, check your local listings.
It is worth the time. I had chills for the first 8 minutes or so.
OK, will do.
Note to self: There is no record quite like Stan Freberg's parody of "Cry."
I think this is a good thing. The world isn't ready for 2 records like that.
