Yes, he sure is shredding. I don't know if I've heard a version of "Baby Please Don't Go" that I DON'T like.

I'm not familiar with Topper Price, but the Shame Idols CD I have (with a batgirl cartoon cover if memory serves correct) is pretty damn fine.

Yeah, Slack, that cover's by Jaime Hernandez, which thrilled Tim, who is a huge fan of Love & Rockets (the comic, not the band).The new Shame Idols record is (sadly) not as good as that one.

Completely off topic, I just got back from seeing The Dark Knight. I didn't think it was all that great. Heresy, I know. Heath Ledger was fantastic as The Joker, but the movie was at least a half-hour too long, the fight scenes dissolved into dark, blurry jump cuts that were unfollowable, and Christian Bale's "this is my scary voice" got really old really fast. I came out feeling like I'd been hit on the head with a rock for two plus hours.
