    Robyn is the shit.

    Whoah. I want what Robert Plant is smoking.

    … On second thought, I don't. I've read “Hammer of the Gods.”

    A lot of Robert Palmer's stuff just sounds slightly “off” in a way that's hard to describe. Casting a Spell is an example of graceless marriage of the native/aboriginal with modern electric blues rock. (In contrast to a graceful marriage of native and modern pop, say Paul Simon's Rhythm of the Saints.) Ah well, I live to pick nits.
