The Useless Critic 2.0

yeah that was a Limp Bizkit reference. Fred Durst would be so proud of me! 29.) "Loca"- Shakira f. Dizzee Rascal DANCE OR DIEEEEEEEEEEEE has anyone listened to her new album? should I pick it up? I've never listened to one of her albums before. it'll be a lot of new experiences all at once coming in my face. 28.) "Dance Yrself Clean"- LCD Soundsystem James Murphy can do no wrong. he's a genius. the whole album was great, but this had me from the start. HAHAHAHA I COULDN'T HELP WITH THAT VIDEO SORRY 27.) "Mr. Rager"- Kid Cudi so creepy! I love it. no wonder Kanye is a fan. and we all know Kanye is never wrong. also, Wesley Snipes is in prison near Bradford, meth capital USA. I wonder what his hot Asian wife has to say about this. ... should I try to get an interview out of him? US Martials was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid!

I'm kind of out of it. bare with me, I have the beginnings of the flu, I started my new job and had to go around and shake everyone's hand today. typhoid Mary? winter 2011: please don't be a mean winter.

So here is my dead person of the day, the dead singer (dead) Robert Palmer. do you remember him? he was awesome: Florence + the Machine recently covered his biggest hit, "Addicted to Love." see here: also, Shakira. flashback 2002: my friend in eighth grade: Brittany do you like Shakira? me: what? sorry, I'm too busy jacking off to these Gwen Stefani magazines. my friend in eighth grade: it's okay, I like Linkin Park too much to have a respectable opinion. then I saw the "Whenever, Wherever" video. wow that girl can dance! I've never been particularly fond of her, though. she's catchy and dances well but sometimes she blows and when she blows well she really blows. "Underneath My Clot...

Calvin Harris' newest album, "Ready For the Weekend," came out this past Tuesday. and while electronica/dance music is usually not my cup of tea (to be fair, I enjoy Junior Boys and Hot Chip and Diplo and Yelle and the occasional Justice or MSTRKRFT), I can't get enough of this guy's stuff. I really CAN-NOT. Even the two big tracks from his last album, "I Invented Disco," (YES HE SO DID), "The Girls" and "Acceptable in the '80s" have been rushing through my mind the past week (I LIKE THEM BIG GIRLS, I LIKE THEM SKINNY GIRLS, I LIKE THEM CARRYING A LITTY-BITTY BIT OF WEIGHT GIRLS) but his new album is just as- well, maybe not QUITE- as fun as his last venture. which is what sometimes music should be. fluffy enjoyable stuff to dance to. even if you're like me and do not dance. the album is spotted by appearances of other dance and hip-hop musicians (I sound so white right now. stuff white people like!)
