seriously now

NO ONE wants a free copy of the new Metallica album?
color me surprised (the offer still stands, by the way: comment with your name and e-mail address and I'll send you the code).

I've already received two copies (the rest of Warner Brothers may not be in good shape, but the shipping department's certainly doing their job).

today's reading: my interview with Randy Newman (I probably could've done a better job, but this conversation was just last Friday (the busy, three interview day) and I could hardly hear him over the coast-to-coast, conference me in connection, which rather limits the normal back and forth. and I'd probably been off the phone with him ten minutes (trying to get ready to talk to Caleb Followill of Kings of Leon) when I remembered the one question that I absolutely had to ask (and we'd already been in the neighborhood); still, getting the opportunity to ask Randy Newman about songwriting is one of the reasons I do what I do, starve like I starve. etc. i.e., I'm very happy I got to do this).

here's hoping I get the chance to hear him play "A Wedding in Cherokee County" at Carnegie Hall next Friday.
