I am so not in the mood to write today. I feel like taking a day off and my writing totally sucks -I got very little sleep last night and I have a headache and I have miles to go before deadline. If anybody wants to get there own back on my supeior bad ass attitude, this is the time to do it. Gwan. I can take it.
We Are Young – 3Oh!3 – It ain’t “First Kiss” but it ain’t terrible either. With a catchy, completely silly chorus “we are young!
We drink and we fight and we love just because we are numb” and an exuberant dumb fun slap happy sound.
Club Can’t handle me (feat. Dave Guetta ) (from “Step Up 3D”) – Flo Rida – If there is a better MC as pop craftsman out there then Flo Rida, his name is Gucci Mane. But Gucci is a gangsta at heart and Flo Rida is a pop star and Dabid Guetta? He is a song and dance man. Put song and dance together with pop star and you get this magificently crafted popper. Three different songs stiched together so well that you can’t see the seams at all -a dance beat, with a cool flavorsome rap and a sing-song chorus. SONG OF THE WEEK.
Fire With Fire – Scissor Sister – Pretty hot disco blazer but this this is the second song off their newbie that doesn’t quite thrill m, the way it should. If disco is supposed to be a wild party, surely hedonism shouldn’t be quite so… bleak. I am not sure what is wrong here but the folks who did Ta-Dah seem to have grown up and down with a bang.
Make-Up Bag – The-Dream and T.I. – Maybe the Dream is over. Maybe all he had in him was “rella—“. A quite adequate T.I. rap is wasted on a overrought metaphore.
Faith – Alejandro Escavedo – Escavedo has been decades and in kinda shows on this somewhat rote admonishmentle rocker.
Dig What You’re Putting Down – Peter Case – Did I mention I’m tired. It is ruining my persceptive because two days ago I really loved this blues blaster by the former Plmisole and today I can’t hear it all… except the harmonica solo.
A Postcard from California – Al Jardin – I would love to love this semi-Sloop John B rip, no, really. I would. But it is awful. Still, they better invite Al to the reunion.
I Don’t Remember – David Byrne – OK, I’m feeling grouchy I admit it. But who is more boring in 2010, Byrne or Gabriel? They should form a band called “Gabriel Byrne” and cover “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go’.
Statues Of Ourselves – Semi Precious METALS – What do you get if you take metals out of the world Gaga. Boys in high heels and smudged eyeliner.
Better days – Eddie vedder – It can’t be all this crappy… can it?
Wichita Lineman – Jimmy Webb – Are you fucking kidding me? Great sing, why do I need another another version? Because Bolly Joel is sining a coupla verses? Who cares. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have bought it.
Pick Up The Phone – Dragonette – Love this song but not today. Stop fucking chirping.
