Kim Jong Il Loves "Licensed To Ill"

From yesterday's Australian:

NORTH Korean leader Kim Jong-il made his first public appearance since last week's nuclear test, taking in a song and dance performance...Kim was accompanied by several top North Korean officials as they watched performers sing the praises of the communist state and Kim's leadership with songs such as "Love of Comrades" and "Always looking up to the Leader," [a North Korean news agency] reported.

"He (Kim) waved back to the enthusiastically cheering artists and audience and congratulated them on their successful performance," it said.

That would help explain this Apple store playlist, which was hush-hushedly placed on the site a few weeks ago. A little out-of-date, maybe, but still much cooler than Nicole Kidman's list.

Hey there, Kim Jong Il! After yesterday's eff-you bid for world domination, we realized that now might be a good time to start sucking up to you. Your plans for the eventual annexation and/or colonization of America might not have much use for a music blog, but let your Idolators remind you that we are long-time admirers of your live-show criticism, your unique vocal stylings, and your ability to inspire others to break into song.

So please spare us, and let us know if you want a comment invite.
