There's a lot of things out there to talk about. Bob Dylan can follow a tirade of popular music today, and in the same breath ask the Raconteurs to support him on tour, like it's not some shrouded gesture designed to both spite and invite the youth to join in his fading legend. I love you Bob, but don't play games with us.

But I don't care about that right now. Because, right now I'm in love. I'm in love with Lily Allen, and I don't care who knows about it. Unless that someone is Chan Marshall, in which case mum's the word. Seriously, I have tickets to her upcoming show.

Lily Allen has posted a new video for "LDN," the second single off her debut Alright, Still. And while us Statesmen have to wait until the new year brings us her CD release, thanks to You Tube we can sample her ascent digitally. It is the second attempt at an "LDN" video. I like this one better.
