Ha! "Brittle." Ba-DUM-bum.

"Devil wouldn't recognize you" is Justin Timberlake's best version of "Cry me a river"/"What goes around…"/"Rehab" that he's ever re-written.

That was terrific!

I think he should have won for "One more hour" from "Ragtime" (which, frankly, wipes the floor with all of his nominated songs for Disney).

Zimmerman flew, Tyler knew.

The recent vinyl boom IS a fad, certainly, but it's not as though vinyl had become extinct in the first place. And while CD sales have continued their downward slide, vinyl sales have increased 800% in the last decade. Not enough to save an industry, but nothing to sneeze at, either.

As respective wordsmiths, they're actually not that far apart.

"Far From Heaven"
Whoops! Unlike Cary Scott (Jane Wyman in "All That Heaven Allows"), Julianne Moore's character, Cathy Whitaker, is not a widow.

Two words: "Zen Arcade"
Fuck Green Day, thankyouverymuch.

Actually, there is no "Body Talk pt. 3"…
It's just the album, "Body Talk." Which compiles songs from parts 1 and 2 with the aforementiond five new songs.

This looks like one of those Twilight movies.

"Vagina-faced alien?"
Wow. You must get laid, like…never.

Three words.
Black Eyed Peas. They are anti-music. And ingeniously so, because you can't get their overwhelming awfulness out of your head once you hear it. I remember hearing "My humps" on the radio for the first time and was beyond astonished at how soul crushing and toe-tapping one song could be. But unlike, say,

I'm a fan, myself, but I TOTALLY get why people find their smugness utterly repellent.

Ah, the old 9:30. I can still smell it. Blech.

The first del Amitri album from 1985 is an absolute gem, and one of the most ridiculously overlooked albums of the era. Completely different to what they evolved (devolved?) into, it's a must for any fans of mid-80s jangle (Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, The Smiths, Aztec Camera, Orange Juice, XTC). It's pretty much

Unless you're Pet Shop Boys, of course.

Oh, and one more thing…
This has to be the first time I've ever seen "Gwen Stefani" and "sultry" occupy the same sentence.

"This remind me of something that always bothered me about "Dazed And Confused". The characters were all amped up to go see Areosmith in like 1978 as if they were the biggest band around at the time.

Seriously.
THis is hands down the dumbest damn thing I've ever read.
