2013: A Year in Music Review

Image
Ahem Disclaimer: This year, a lot of music came out. I did not listen to it all. I stayed far away from Miley, though. Albeit the only time I heard "Wrecking Ball" it made me cry but that HAS NOTHING to do with her talent. Song That Was Everywhere That Did Not Suck When I get home, my Mom will be listening to this song (mark my words) and telling me how it is good walking music. I would bet money on this if I was a betting type. I'm glad Lorde is getting recognized by the Grammys. But: a.) The Grammys are like a grandma trying to be hip. b.) SECOND ALBUM CURSE. See: Alanis Morrisette . I know, somebody is saying "Why can't you be happy for her? She's just a kid!" BITCH I AM HAPPY I'M JUST WORRIED My personal favorite album of 2013: The National's "Trouble Will Find Me." I am sure this comes as no shock. And it was a grower of a quiet masterpiece. I wouldn't say it's their best, ...

The Fifth Annual "Bitch, What Were You Thinking Awards?!"

Image
Hey-o. At this point, it appears these awards will become a regular event. The month of June, I've decided to celebrate the  Colossal Ego That Is Kanye West . I love his sunglasses here. Even douchenozzles can DRESS well. I'm sure Aesop has a fable about it.  I like Kanye generally. He's kind of obnoxious but he's pretty talented. He just is one of those people who don't realize they need a filter or to think before they spew words out. However, his interview with the New York Times - HOLY shit. For you. For what’s right. I am so credible and so influential and so relevant that I will change things. So when the next little girl that wants to be, you know, a musician and give up her anonymity and her voice to express her talent and bring something special to the world, and it’s time for us to roll out and say, “Did this person have the biggest thing of the year?” — that thing is more fair because I was there. Seriously: What the FUCK does that ...

#6 on the Pop Culture Countdown of Moments That Were/Are of No Significance To You- When Kanye Talks

Image
We're advancing! Aren't these just simply the most EXCITING times? Oh shut up. I know this countdown is the highlight of your life. Don't act like that's not true . #6- When Kanye West Talks Why? Because he's got a notorious rep for apparently not thinking before he blabbers. The first incident of this was just right after Katrina hit and devastated NOLA. On national television, with one awkward Mike Myers by his side, he announced that "George Bush hates black people." And granted, even though this was kind of a dumb moment, he did have a point because of the sociopolitical aspect of the Katrina response. However, it really wasn't the medium   for that kind of message and it could have been just a LITTLE more articulate. Then, this happened. <- He totally alpha-dogged TayTay (TM) on behalf of Beyonce at the MTV Awards. TayTay! The best part of this? Beyonce's reaction obviously. She just was like "really? REALLY ?" La...

WTF is Donda? Kayne West , the new Donald Trump?

Image
By Guest Writer, Harriett A Holmes from England. kanyewest Kanye West The name of the company is DONDA 5 Jan kanyewest Kanye West I have started a new company and I'm so excited about the name.... it's got the best name ever of all companies of all time!!!.... 5 Jan Kayne West is officially mental. Again. On January 5th he proclaimed that he had started a new philanthropic-themed company named “DONDA”, which he vaguely claimed would “want to help simplify and aesthetically improve everything we see hear, touch, taste and feel”, apparently Kayne wishes to put “creatives in a room together with like minds that are all waaaay doper than me”, are you sure “dope” isn’t what you’ve been inhaling Kayne? If he had, then he probably wouldn’t have been bothered to keep within the 140-character limit, or decide to have himself a little spamming session on twitter for the next two hours. This new company is said to be comprised of 22 divisions employing “a team of architects, graphic de...

That's My Bitch: A Christmas Story

Image
There are so many reasons why I shouldn't love this song. The title. La Roux. That's pretty much it. But this song is amazing and I almost hate myself for that but then I realize it's Jay-Z and Kanye West and I don't.

Kanye + Mary Kate FOREVA

Image
So apparently Mary Kate Olsen and Kanye are an item. or at least "make out friends." believe me I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. The couple were spotted sucking face a few times recently. Or close friends who like to lick each other's faces. You know, same thing. Maybe she had some hummus on her cheek. MMM. I don't care too much about either of these peoples, but I wanted an excuse to post this: COME ON NOW GOLD DIGGERS, THE BOTH OF THEM. HAVE FUN CONQUERING THE FASHION WORLD TOGETHER.

I GO BACK TO DECEMBER ALL THE TIME: a review

Image
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night, And I go back to December.... ALL THE TIME (my jam) Once in a life you buy a CD...and it turns out to be kismet. Or you simply buy a CD, which no one ever does anymore, and that in itself is a big deal. So there I stood at Starbucks, somewhat out-of-step on my lunch break. barista stares at me. " Americano ?" NOD. "Tall?" NOD. (I am a regular, stfu ) "Anything else?" I see Taylor and her poofy purple dress staring at me from the counter. it's tempting. Taylor, courtesy of Cara and Alice way back when, has grown on me. My mom is also a fan. I grab the CD. "This too." The barista continues to stare me down as if she is judging me. So woooot . I could have bought that stinky Katy Perry album instead! BITCH, I AM THE REASON YOU HAVE WORK. WORSHIP ME. The last CD I bought was Charlotte Gainsbourg's IRM in February. I have actually bought all of her albums. this is because a sma...

The JackOBellaOCullen Or the --pause for gasp-- KELLY OSBOURNE! QATFYG: If you could put any face on pumpkin, who's would it be?

"Lost in the World"- Kanye West

Okay, the version of this I'm listening to has someone screaming the url over everything OH MY GOD SHUT UP. Anyway, I am glad Bon Iver is embracing a second career as a blue-eyed soul singer. he's certainly got the voice for it. overall I like this, I'm just a little confused. B+

blogging away the tears

Image
I usually don't have the energy to blog when I return home from work- or to do anything, really- except the other evening, like Cara, I cleaned my room, which made me feel a lot better. and my music library. like colon cleansing. it was cathartic. do you think colon cleansing would be cathartic? do you think it would just be disgusting, painful and unneccessary? have you ever gone to THE COLON CLEANSING BLOG? if you haven't be warned DO NOT GO UNLESS YOU HAVE A STRONG STOMACH. thus my blogging in the morning. haiiiiii. so Adam Lambert came out yesterday and I spent the remainder of my day in total shock. I mean, who's supposed to bear my lovechildren now? nonetheless- I think he's got a sturdy career ahead of him. from what I witnessed of "American Idol" I really liked his style. although Kris Allen's version of "Heartless" (that was a good Kanye album, by the way. "505s and Heartbreak"- I truly enjoyed that) was the shit, let's be ...
