Can anybody name a better tune about text-messaging performed by a daughter of a Sri Lanken freedom fighter (or terrorist depending on who you talk to)? Even if you can, I bet that it doesn't sample Quincy Jones' "Sanford & Son" theme and Red Fox saying "You big dummy!" Early American versions of M.I.A.'s Arular didn't contain this track because they couldn't get the sample cleared in time. Arular was the best album of the year according to dumb Blender mag, and off the top of my head I can't think of a better one. Neil Diamond's Rick Rubin produced album 12 Songs was pretty good though. Yes, seriously. It is a misnomer though, because it has 14 songs on it.
Sport:
It's January, and that means it is time to think about baseball. I'm sure you are all excited about the upcoming World Cup Of Baseball Classic Championship (or whatever they are calling it.) This should be good. South Africa has a team, but they don't actually have any baseball fields in their country. Same with Italy. I wonder if Wales was invited. If games were won by the number of high rate catchers your team fields, then Puerto Rico would win, but it isn't. If games were won based on pure skill and athleticism, then the Dominican Republic would win. Skill and athleticism should only get you to 2nd place, because games are won in the labs by the players with the least detectable steroids, and we all know that the US doctors are way ahead in that category. Wait, isn't Puerto Rico owned by the US anyway? Why aren't they a state yet, and how come each state doesn't get their own team like the Little League World Series?
Oh, and even though Castro said that any money made by Cuban team would be donated to Hurricane Katrina victums, the US won't let them play. Maybe if they took Rafael Palmero back Elian Gonzalez-style, that would sweeten the deal.

If I'm reading this correctly, the Koreans plan on playing a dozen pitchers and nobody will play outside of the infield dirt. What a cunning stratagem. Let's see if it pays off.
TV:
New LOST tonight. I think it will have Jack flashbacks. If so, that's his third show. I want a NYC Rose and Bernard based episode, but I'm probably in the minority.
