What Evil Jimi said.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.
Book ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fans of 60's pop (I'm looking at you, David!) -- This looks to be a great resource.
Yeah, Spectropop rocks. I haven't been there in a while, though, so thanks for the nudge. The whole Curt Boettcher revival kind of started there. And the book contributes to that by doing both his album as Sagitarrius and his solo album.

The more I listen to the new Dizzee Rascal, the more I like it. And I'm not a huge hip-hop fan as a rule.

Franz Ferdinand wins Mercury Prize
Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand, whose debut album has been hailed by critics as a masterpiece of pop, won the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.
The Glasgow-based quartet were the favorites among the 12-strong shortlist to take home the award for their self-titled album.
The $35,600 prize, now in its 13th year, honors the best album of the year by a British or Irish band. It is judged on talent and innovation rather than commercial sales, and the winner can usually expect a surge in sales and publicity.
Among the acts Franz Ferdinand beat for the prize, announced Tuesday, were two-time nominee The Streets, aka rapper Mike Skinner; young soul sensation Joss Stone; urban star Jamelia; and guitarless rock band Keane.
Speaking of The Streets, I listened to the CD the other day, and it did not make me cry. I was amused by the Run Lola Run ending and thought it was touching, but no cry from me. Sorry Angus. You're one step closer to that LotR marathon.
[I can't believe I spoiler fonted a CD review, but it's more a narrative than a musical experience]

The Streets were unofficially excluded from the Mercury because he's too shy to make a speech is the rumour over here.
Did you enjoy the album, though, Jon.

I thought the album was interesting, but it didn't move me like I'd hoped. Part of it might be cultural -- I didn't relate to the guy. I have a hard time being sympathetic to those who make their own mess.

Frou Frou are becoming more and more noticed. Gilmore Girls is using one of their songs for their fall preview.

Jim, can I call it "cracking" too? I will like it even better then.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I heard the new Duran Duran track this morning and thought it was some glorious pop.
In other upcoming release news, the U2 fandom is all a-twitter over the "false advertising" and "emotional distress" caused by Indie 103.1's U2 marathon on Labor Day.
They supposedly advertised that they'd be playing a new track from the November album, even though the single isn't supposed to be hitting radio until the end of this month. Not only was there no new U2, but the station interrupted the marathon to bring Henry Rollins' weekly radio show. Mr. Rollins proceeded to badmouth U2, as he usually does. Mr. Rollins proceeded to get loads of hate mail from pissed-off U2 fans.
The kerfuffle has been amusing, from the standpoint of one who knows better than to get involved.
