And in these pieces overall: for Justin Bieber and Micki Minaj I actually think I was much LESS dismissive than most commentary is on them, and that I took Gaga pretty seriously altho in her case that's not as rare.. the only one i think i was particularly snarky about was will.i.am & usher, and in that case I had no choice! eva: I said lots positive about Eminem in the taping for that segment, maybe the edit makes it sound otherwise, if so that’s unfortunate because I think he’s one of the greats..

It made my day to hear your insights on a broadcast that I love and respect so much. Awesome, man.

Re: Eminem--I just caught his new track "I Love the way You Lie" (featuring Rihanna) on the radio. It was pretty edgy I thought, haunting really, and sophisticated in a way. (I need to listen to again to give more specific lyrical analysis.) Anyway, I'm sure that I am not alone in being curious as to what your thoughts are on his new album as a whole, now that you have more than his single to work from. -Joe Glad your insight is reaching a broader audience, Jay.

Glad you're gonna be back. I'll listen to this post later. Right now i'm closely listening to WBAI...and trying to catch up with some popular novel readings...John LeCarre's ...A Most Wanted Man... Just started, but he mentions Franz Fanon in passing. Hope it's gonna be good. What are you reading these days? Yeah, i was a little worried about what was what with you.

Do you have another audio file of it? I really want to hear what you have to say about it because there has been so much about Justin Bieber and the craze around him that I just have been too tired / not enough time to unpack. Thanks, Hey — The Justin Bieber clip isn’t working. Do you have another audio file of it?
