On Belladonna, by Daniel Lanois.

I am currently listening to what could be my favorite Daniel Lanois song... "Frozen" from the album "Belladonna". I'm in the middle of my workday, amid salary negotiations and keeping pretty busy. But when I hear Lanois play that pedal steel with the syncopated reggae beat in the background, all I can do is simply stop in my tracks.

A rough landing for Dallas Austin in Dubai.

R&B impressario and Grammy-winner Dallas Austin, producer of tracks for such top-selling-artists as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Pink, and Gwen Stefani, arrived in Dubai May 19th. He came here to attend super-model Naomi Campbell's three-day Roman orgy of a 36th birthday bash at one of the world's best and most expensive hotels, the Burj al Arab.
