More Signs of the Grunge Age Apocalypse - Chris Cornell Does an R&B Album with Timbaland

I was listening to NPR tonight and Jackie Lydon started describing my former phantom husband (who I retired after an atrocious appearance on Leno last year) Chris Cornell & his distinctive vocals. And by distinctive, she meant rocking. However, I would instead use the term goddamn sexy as all faulck. Regardless, those vocals are now laid out on completely different tracks than ever before: with R&B producer Timbaland.

Good God in heaven. First Smashing promotes credit cards. Then Chris Cornell goes gangsta. What next? Courtney sells the rights to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to the NRA...'Load up on guns and bring your friends!'

So, that David Cook "Billie Jean" arrangement that you loved so much from Idol the other night? Guess what? It was a cover of Chris Cornell's arrangement of "Billie Jean", which explains why it sounded so good! And even though he has fallen off my list of phantom husbands -- what with the even-more-emaciated-due-to-heavy-drug-use look combined with the not-aging-well-rock-star look (interdependent) -- I still love his voice. It still makes my breath quick.
