Emmett is a lethal cute bomb. He's a weapon of cute destruction.
LB was singing "I Want You" (The Beatles one) the other day, and it cracked me up. Especially as he was putting Harry Potter Legos together as he did it.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Was LB singing the "dum-dum-dum-dum-dums" as well?

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
You really need the whole album for The Streets to make sense. And you may well need to be British, 20-35, and vaguely urban (not in the euphemistic sense of the word).

I'm two out of four there. For you, I'll give the guy another chance.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
"Fit But You Know It" is a fine song, but Jim is right that it's a concept album -- almost more of a recorded play with music than an album, really. I like some of what I've heard of "Original Pirate Material," and it's a bit more accessible, I think.
And on the Brit rap front, I just heard my first Dizzee track and am understanding a bit of what the fuss there is as well.

My "friend" downloaded the forthcoming second Dizzee album from suprnova last night. It's just brilliant - "Best british rap album" is a category very close to "best French rockabilly album", but Showtime is going to give Tricky's Maxinquaye a run for its money.

Sal Nunziato's review of the re-release of The Velvet Underground Live At Max's Kansas City
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND LIVE AT HIRAM'S CRABCAKE PAVILLION!
OH WAIT, IT'S "LIVE AT MAX'S KANSAS CITY"...
Possibly the first rock bootleg ever given an official release by a major label, "The Velvet Underground Live At Max's Kansas City" documented their final show before Lou Reed quit the band in 1970. Recorded on a hand-held cassette player from the audience, "Live At Max's" was always a fascinating document, but the crappy sound quality made for rough listening. Now, 34 years after the show and 32 years after it was first released, the good folks at Rhino have given "Live At Max's Kansas City" a sonic makeover. It still doesn't sound like "Kiss Alive II," but fantastic remastering has made it more than just a piece of history -- it's now a great record, too. Featuring material from "Loaded," their swan song, as well as earlier classics like "White Light White Heat" and "Femme Fatale," "Live At Max's" now includes six previously unreleased tracks from the same show. Even without Nico or John Cale, this album is the proof of the Velvet Underground's greatness.
Has anyone heard this new version?

I haven't heard the new one, but considering that Doug Yule's hyperactive brother was on drums (Mo was on maternity leave), Sterling Morrison sounds like he's phoning it in, and Jim Carroll (who recorded the show) was drunkenly rambling during the music on the old one, I can't see how a sonically cleaned-up version would improve the performances.
