Shoot At You Actors Like Movie Directors

Jay-Z “Public Service Announcement” – The Black Album has leaked! Maybe I’m just extremely excited right now, but I’m pretty sure this record is even better than The Blueprint. I can understand why he wants to go out on this record, it would be a wise business decision to be forever frozen in the public’s mind like this and to go out on top. But artistically, I think it’s a very questionable decision – who is to say that he couldn’t make a record even better than this next year, or five years from now? The man just keeps improving, it seems like he’s cheating himself and his audience by ducking out so early. I hope that he’s like Michael Jordan and comes out of retirement a few times over before giving it up for good.

Todd Rundgren “I Saw The Light” – This is for Joe. It’s a beautiful song and a radio classic; but for me, (Six Feet Under season 3 spoiler alert!) it will always be associated with the image of an emotionally devastated Nate Fisher sitting in the car, desperately hoping for a sign of his missing wife while listening to this song on the radio.
