Que es mas macho?

This post doesn't really have anything to do with macho-ness. I was just thinking of the Laurie Anderson song "Smoke Rings" in which she is apparently on a quiz show asking that question of unrelated objects. As in, "La segunda pregunta es: Que es mas macho, lightbulb o schoolbus?" (The answer of course is schoolbus.) Anyway, I'm about to compare two semi-unrelated things. Here we go:


Which are you more excited to hear?

Aimee Mann's new Christmas album,

or

Scarlett Johansson covering Tom Waits?


I'm going to go with Aimee, simply because she covers "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" on it, and I can't think of a more fitting tribute to the late, grrr-eat Thurl Ravenscroft (who sang the original, as well as being the voice of Tony the Tiger). But, I reserve the right to change my mind if Scarlett decides to cover "What's He Building?"

; D

Either way, I think I win. Oh, and PS: Don't forget to "fall back" this Saturday when you go to bed!

And now, here it is -- your Moment of Zen:

I'm gonna have to go with Scarlett. I really don't like Christmas music--although, ironically, I've always wanted Tom Waits to do an album of Christmas standards.

I would have to go with Aimee Mann. I really like Christmas music and I think she would be a good addition to our X-Mas mix this year.
