What's Your Favorite Blondie Album?

To my fellow Blondie fans, there's a poll over at Albumism going on through Sunday to vote for your favorite album of the band's. While it feels like Sophie's choice to me -- hard to say "Parallel Lines" isn't perfect, that "AutoAmerican" isn't feyly sublime and that "Eat to the Beat" isn't the greatest power-pop album ever recorded -- I ended up going with my tried-and-true answer: "Plastic Letters." With two of their best singles of all time -- "Denis" and "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear" -- my favorite album track of theirs ("Fan Mail") and a stream of quirky songs -- "Bermuda Triangle Blues (Flight 45)," "Contact in Red Square," "Youth Nabbed as Sniper," "I'm on E," "Kidnapper" -- that seemed a little more organic and polished than their debut's tongue-in-cheek brand of pop, "Plastic Letters" is still the one I didn't have the nerve to say no to. Vote on their site and don't be shy about leaving me a comment with your answer.

Luis ---- Damian 

Kinda weird, no?

Hot Cat of the Day: Nothing better than a nap with your best friend.

The Hypocrisy of Ronan Farrow

Read HERE.

Ronan Farrow -- who thinks trying to "discredit" his sister for running around repeating disproved allegations her mother fed her as a child is somehow beyond the pale -- wasted no time in trying to discredit the person who is in better position to know what happened than anyone. Even putting the molestation claims aside, how can Ronan so casually dismiss his brother's harrowing recollections of being physically and psychologically abused by their mother? That's what's beyond the pale here.

Says the 4-year-old with no memory of the events, and the adult who obviously cannot look at the facts impartially, despite devoting his life to a profession that requires him to be able to. #BelieveMoses #TrainInVain
