today’s thoughts on pop culture
November 28th, 2006some music I like:
regina spektor–ok, I’ll be honest, I haven’t listened to any of her other music yet, but the song Fidelity is about as perfect as music gets. And the music video is about as perfect as music videos get–watch it to the end, please, or don’t bother at all.
a perfect circle–the album eMotive is their tour de force (so far!! who knows what they may come up with yet), and it’s beautiful rock’n'roll with an aging hippy tone to it. Listen to the last track to get chills or if you like harmonizing.
death cab for cutie/the postal service: have you heard any of their songs? some are better than others, but basically they’re all AMAZING. same singer for both bands–do yourself a favor and play postal service before bed.
justin timberlake–i know everyone’s on the “sexyback” train, but futuresex/lovesounds is a fucking awesome CD. listening to the whole thing is like an hour of female orgasmic fantasy. there boys, now you know the truth. THAT’S why we love justin. go memorize “my love” NOW.
christina aguilera–i’ve always been a fan of her vocal ability and feminist attitude, and now that she’s matured (happily married) past her pop princess years and “growing phase,” christina has presented a really polished album. which i don’t remember the name of, but the whole thing is good and some tracks are REALLY fantastic. Definitely a 40s sound, which I love (i’m a b&w movies fan), and some of the old “dirrty” stuff which is always fun.
some celebrities i think about:
ok people, let’s boil it down to basics. britney spears and paris hilton are pretty young women who make careers out of being cute and famous. let’s be honest, lindsay lohan is in the same league. So is every other “controversial” young celebrity, to some extent. THAT’S. IT. Get it? Ok, good. MOVING ON.
some movies i think about:
ok, there ARE no movies i think about. everything out right now isn’t worth $10. and yes, that includes Borat.
