Das Racist have grown on me over the past year. I'm feeling that they could be primed for a tilt at crossover success. The vid for Michael Jackson is pretty much the greatest.

I'd serve Mr.JM>>> Vodka - Absolut-ELY..
Straight outta the bottle with a 'Share with Kaz Policy'x <3
Tea Party Yeah?! ...non liquid sustance answer [lamingtons] LMAO!
Since he's now solo (had enough tea?) lol
A cup of coffee (maybe with a shot of irish whiskey)
I'd serve Jeff Earl Grey tea.
Lapsong Souchong -taste's like tar
Drinking Tea is not very rock, but......I'd serve him some Morrocan Whiskey (a.k.a Mint Green Tea) since he's the best Morrock n' Roll guitarist out there! (apart from Jimmy Page of course)
Sure he'd be into it, but he might want a good glass of red or a swig of JD to wash it down I reckon!
Given jeff's a fan of Jeff buckley, I reckon JB could be The Messenger & serve him a Lilac Wine from the grand Bazaar which would make him feel like Heavens coming down...
either that or a good glass of red and some iced vovo's for good measure.
cucumber sandwiches!
Given his nationality, I'm thinking bacon slathered in maple syrup, washed down with a Moosehead or 6. yum (?)
As a man inclined towards the hallucinogenic way of life, I'd sit Mr Martin down to a lovely mushroom pie. He could pay guitar until the tails kick in and we'd sing our way into blissful absentia.
