Speed round:
Via ILM, I present Pazz & Jop's Nashville(ish) cousin, Nashville Weekly's Country Music Critics Poll. Instead of OutKast, this one's dominated by the Cash clan - specifically, patriarch Johnny and ex-son-in-law Rodney Crowell.
"I Can't Wait," by Sleepy Brown featuring OutKast, is sensational. Cushy R&B with competing rhythm tracks, while Sleepy works his post-Teddy P. mojo and leaves plenty of room for Big Boi and Andre 3000 to drop their raps (and yes, Andre raps again). Superbly post-neo-soul, or whatever it's being called these days.
Still jobhunting, waiting for places to make up their minds and call me for a damn interview. Also still working up the master list of my vinyl and CD collections; thanks to those who've already alerted me to their interest. If you haven't yet and want to, you still can.
John Edwards thinks he's going to pick up a lot of Wes Clark's former supporters. Meanwhile, dkos reports that it appears Clark's going to endorse John Kerry. What does this ultimately mean? Sadly, these appear to be some of the final nails in Howard Dean's coffin. Time to start putting together that Kerry/Edwards ticket (I still believe the Dems have got to have a southerner on the ticket - and how great would and Edwards vs. Cheney debate be?) and start planning for the general election, methinks.
Ladies and gents, the farewell tour that never ends. Cher's starting to make the Who look like slackers.
Hooray!
