Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Paul's Boutique. Greatest album evah. That isn't some other album I decide is likewise greatest.

So I saw an article a couple of weeks ago about crappy restaurant websites--so many of them are loaded with Flash, have music and animation, and the menus are only posted as PDFs, and the whole thing is really inaccessible to folks with visual problems.

So it was quite a relief to see the website for my brother's restaurant doesn't suffer from most of those problems. Even the menus are in html! Woot!

Also, the Yelp reviews are almost uniformly positive. Yay!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There is a very good 33 1/3 book on Paul's Boutique.

I don't like the Beastie Boys, either. Go ahead, shun me.

Other musical heresies I hold dear: Songs by Joy Division AND The Rolling Stones work best when other bands cover them, so they have better vocals.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Jilli, I love you unconditionally, but you know, this hurts.

I love Paul's Boutique for all sorts of reasons including it's ridiculously good, but Check Your Head just seems a little bit dirtier to me. Something's Got to Give was the first track I heard off of it, IIRC.

I know, I know. And I accept that it's due to something missing in my brain, not any flaw with the Beastie Boys. There are parts of their songs I really like. But most rap just doesn't work for me. Don't ask me why I like Public Enemy, 'cos I can't explain it. And it's not like I really listen to them anymore, I just don't make the squinchy face of dismay if I hear them.

I did watch some of the Licensed to Ill tour video and was so appalled. I think they've spent years trying to beat the shame.
