Let me get the baseless gushing out of the way; I LOVE THIS ALBUM. I mean, yeah I own everything on here except for the two new songs, but they included a bonus disc with acoustic versions of all the songs for the sad hyper-fans!

The members imitated rappers, wore black face, 3 finger rings, doo rags & simulated a KKK lynching. Officials said the university would pursue the matter aggressively.Double GRR.

Click here for the aptly-titled "A Stroke Of Genius". It's The Strokes vs. Christina Aguilera. It's screamingly fantastic. If only the Strokes could get me that amped on their own, their ridiculous press hype might be warranted.DJPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00401480811749314041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790735.post-68251362001-11-02T20:21:00.000-05:002001-11-02T20:21:03.613-05:00Lap Top Pop: Clicking this link will take you to a Flash site that has tasters from the upcoming Severed Heads album.

What an absolutely lovely song! The video alone is captivating; beautiful Caribbean scenery abounds as modestly-clad-by-modern-video-standards Aaliyah and dancers boogie on the world's largest catamaran and the world's sexiest beach.
