Will She Do?

No, she won't.

A man who tried to hire a prostitute to take his 14-year-old son's virginity as a present was spared jail by a British court on Friday.

The Polish national took the boy out in his car and allowed him to pick out the prostitute, who was standing at the side of the road in the red-light district of Nottingham, central England.

...

The boy said that they had driven past the girl and his dad pointed to her and said 'will she do?'," Harris said.

"He said 'yes' and they had turned round. He said his dad did this because he was still a virgin and he was taking care of that for him."

Judge Jonathan Teare said he would spare the father jail because of his excellent character and that he believed he did not mean any harm to his son.

"You have a duty of care to your son and that is to look after his moral welfare, not as you might think to break him in to the ways of sex through a prostitute," he said.

Listening To...

Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality. Have you ever put on a record, not really expecting much from it except background music, but somehow find yourself completely falling into it? Every song and verse absolutely resonates with you; and when it's over, you're a little amazed at what just happened ? Yeah, that happened with this record a few weeks ago. This puzzled me because, while I like Sabbath well enough, I don't consider myself to be a huge fan, nor a huge fan of metal in general (at least not since high school). But, nonetheless, it happened. I was one with Ozzy and Tony. Mostly Tony. I think it had something to do with the copious quantity of Allagash Black I had consumed. Four Psis for each: ΨΨΨΨ .

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Real Emotional Trash. This is the first album from them that annoys me less than it pleases me. I think it's because much of the record has a real live-in-the-studio feel; many of the songs have long loose sections where you can hear the members playing off each other, waiting for cues, taking chances, etc.. No, they aren't a jam band, or even close, but this record definitely has a more relaxed feel than most of their other stuff. That interplay also makes the record seem like more of a group effort than just a Stephen Malkmus [with backing band] record. Three Psis: ΨΨΨ .

Paper - An Object. Like Joy Division + Red Bull. They've got that raw goth/punk feel of classic Joy Division, but Paper is louder, faster and twitchier. There's a clip at Flux-Rad. Four Psis: ΨΨΨΨ .
