 A reader sent me this picture of Sinead and asked for my opinion of her new look. My honest opinion? She looks just me when I was in college, except with better hair and fashion sense. I was a real mess. It would’ve done me some good to look more like Elton John. At least he was [...]  Last week, the idea came to me to do a “Freaky Ladies” series of blogs. Why? Well, there are a number of strange, original, brave, and talented women in music and other arts who, in my opinion, haven’t received the recognition and prestige they deserve. So let’s pay tribute to them, shall we, Motherf*ckers? This first [...]  She was a cypher, already difficult to know when she became humongous in 2006. As the years went by, what we saw became more and more tacky: wandering half-naked down the London streets, strung-out and incoherent, her bad implants popping out of her skimpy dresses. The continued public bad behavior; the YouTube video of her [...]  Remember this video from the Golden Age of MTV? The dance sequence at 2:47 spurred my fascination with choreography, pushed my eating disorder into high gear, and permanently twisted my fashion sense and sexuality. Still love it after all these years! Primero, quiero pedir disculpas a todos los que han dejado comentarios en este blog que no han sido aprobados hasta ahora. Este Word Press es una cosa rara; a veces me avisa cuando llegan y a veces no. En este caso, ha pasado de avisarme completamente… probablemente en espíritu de venganza, por mi comportamiento tan [...]  I don’t remember if this was the first Bob Seger song I ever heard. What I do know is that the first time I heard it on the radio — on some classic rock station in Milwaukee — I was very young, and it blew my mind. My whole body knew I was hearing something [...]  I wrote about the American videoclip series Schoolhouse Rock in my last post. It’s fun to note that Schoolhouse Rock has inspired a number of popular cover versions, such as Elliot Smith’s eerily beautiful cover of “Figure 8″: Perhaps the most popular Schoolhouse Rock song to cover is “Three is the Magic Number”. De La Soul did a [...]  [For maximum enjoyment of this video, I recommend turning the up volume LOUD!] Schoolhouse Rock was a series of short musical, educational clips that would run on Saturday mornings when I was a kid. They remain immensely popular not only for my generation, but for later generations who didn’t grow up with the series. Schoolhouse Rock was created [...]  Anyone remember this? All throughout my life this song pops into my head without warning. It’s one of the first songs that I can remember. I was very, very young when I first heard it — maybe three or five years old at the most. Even though I didn’t completely understand the lyrics at the time, somehow [...] |
