Nice one! Scott Wood: “Reissue of the Year: Let It Be…Naked by the Replacements. Peter Jesperson’s production always was a little bombastic, and what a delight to finally hear these songs the way they were meant to be heard: ‘Answering Machine’ without the operator message, ‘Androgynous’ minus those extravagant finger snaps. Plus we don’t have to listen to that egomaniac Tommy Stinson harping on about how Jesperson totally ‘ruined the essence of’ his bass part in ‘Gary’s Got a Boner.’

Actually, Julianne, I think this is a pretty good trade. I’ve been hoping Shareef might get a real team since “The Quickening”!

Late on this but thanks to Aaron Wherry, here’s an item from last Tuesday’s WWD on the latest shake-ups at The Source. Truth is, there’s a lot more going on there than is written here, believe.

A great piece on Republican messaging and the lack of a progressive equivalent. Thanks to Lizz Mendez Berry.

Speaking of which, it seems to me that Bush failed miserably yesterday in his bid to make the case for war and jobs. Here’s Howard Kurtz’ grok on the topic. Today’s jobs report has to add fuel to the fire, seen as more empty promises. This could be a case for the Reeps of good planning, poor execution.

GRAMS, I MEAN, GRAMMYS

Nice to see:

* Prince and Beyonce doing Ike and Tina, the good years.

* Sean Paul on the big stage, although the song was all wrong. Maybe “When the World Is Running Down”?

* Justin keeping his hands on the organ.

* Pharrell as Ringo.

* Luther.

* FUNK!

Not so fun to see:

* Dave Matthews forgetting the words.

* Alicia out of key. Guess her register does have a limit.

* Quentin “Let me show you why me and Nik Cohn can use the N word” Tarantino.

Unsubstantiated rumors:

* Coldplay’s Chris Martin has signed on to do all yelling for the Kerry campaign.

* Cristina Aguilera is making a kids’ album with Hillary Duff. They will not be kissing on the cover.

* Justin Timberlake left after the show to record a remix with Ruben Studdard of “Sorry 2004”.

* Michael Powell is replacing Judy McGrath at MTV.
