i'm in a bit of a rut; i've plateaued. it's either that or "new music" just sucks.
- Rap makes my ass twitch: i'm just too damn white and way too gay, okay? i just don't get it.
- panty-dropping R & B just makes me blush: all that veiled sexual language and innuendo. i have a very vivid imagination thank-you-very-much.
- "emo" makes me extremely nervous and edgy: does anyone else wanna stab James Blunt in the throat with a salad fork, or am i alone on this one?
- i'm over teenagers cooing like nymphomaniacal doves: i guess i'm just...old, but i can't get behind teenagers singing songs of love and loss. that's not to say i won't give Junior's newest mix of the newest Hillary Duff ditty a whirl, i just have no intention of ever hearing the original version (ie. Lindsey Lohan's Confessions of a Broken Heart).
- Rock and Roll is dead: did nobody get the memo? it all sounds the same, so lay off the power chords and drum solos. it's been done before and way better.
Sadly, most my old standbys have just stopped putting new stuff out:
- how many Greatest Hits albums do we really need, Cher: i wouldn't mind if they had different hits on them, but it's the same 15 songs in a different order! quick before you take up residence in Vegas, get your plastic ass into the studio.
- Bjork, i forgive you for Drawing Restraint 9: if you promise to never let it happen again and make something along the lines of Post, Debut or Homogenic you know i'll buy it.
- Earth to Tori...come in Tori: where the hell have you been? the seeds i got from the Beekeeper have grown and died twice already! besides, Casey Stratton is stealing all your fans...and your songs...
- Somebody slap Sister George: dammit Miss Michael, you were supposed to be one of our "role models", lookit Ellen! now, get your ass outta that tea-room, stub out the joint, and sing something already.
- I'm glad i only paid $3 for Curse of Blondie: Deb...oh never mind. i'll just keep listening to the Platinum Collection.
- Viva La Rufus: i know you were on tour last year, but how about releasing the Carnegie Hall Concert i was at, on CD? pleeeeeeeeease?

yo! h-e-l-l-o-o-o? Tori just released a new album, like, 2day. Are you living under a rock? And since I think it's hilarious when people send me wikipedia links to emphatically prove a point, here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Doll_Posse
let me know whether it's worth a listen.
drawing restraint is supposed to be a soundtrack--a companion work to matthew barney's film. it's not supposed to be a "bjork album" in the sense that it's supposed to work on it's own. so in that sense, i don't have any issues with how weird it is. she could've made it more her own, but i wonder how matthew barney would've reacted to that. i suppose very much like how lars von trier and bjork fought on set for selmasongs....
yeah but Selmasongs wasn't an ABSOLUTE steaming pile of worm-filled horseshit, like Drawing Restraint. that CD was awful regardless of finger pointing.
