Impertinent Thoughts on Pertinent Subjects XX
Nov 30 '02
The Bottom Line That time of the month again...
* It seems I've p*ssed a WHOLE lot of people off with my Avril Lavigne review from a few months back. It seems some people can't understand how to read a specific point and understand that I'm talking about one song and not the whole of the album. So, for all those who whined about my "Nirvana loud-soft dynamic" line in that review, take your heads out of your collective a*ses and realize I'm talking about ONE SONG, not the whole of the album. God, some of you are worse than the O-Town fans who attacked Kristina.
* Speaking of O-Town fans attacking Kristina, the band did debut at #28 on the Billboard charts in their first week...only to fall all the way to #87 in their second week. Yeah, those million or so O-Town fans are REALLY scooping up this album at a furious rate...
* And speaking of the Billboard charts, Pearl Jam slipped all the way to #36 this week from #5 last week. Oh well. They'll still sell out every single show on their 2003 tour in North America...that's something that Britney couldn't do last year.
* Funny I mention Britney. She's getting out of the restaurant business, after her lovely little place had problem after problem since it opened. I told all you people she had no business acumen.
* And Britney's former boytoy, Justin Timberlake, calls Coldplay "the greatest band of this generation." Come now Justin, everyone knows that Oasis is the most over-rated bunch of cocky English pricks in one band of this generation. But Coldplay comes in a close second, I'll give you that. As for the greatest band of this generation, there are 4 or 5 acts that merit being called that: NONE of them are named f*cking Coldplay.
* And I hate to pick on all the new teen idols who are falling from grace, but what the hell is up with the Backstreet Boys suing their record label for $75 million? You might want to look at your group guys, last time I checked, Nick Carter was a part of it. You might also want to ask Nick what HE wanted to do. Your careers are headed the way of O-Town's boys. This is the biggest bunk lawsuit since that guy who sued the fast food chains for making him fat...
* A while back, I got reamed a new one from people on this site for talking about Aaliyah and all her newfound friends upon her death. Now hey, I'm not about to say that Missy Elliott didn't love Aaliyah. Hell, I think she's one of the few who actually did. But you know, if you can't even pay tribute to her right, why bother? Apparently Elliott forgot the words to half her own songs, not to mention the words to an Aaliyah song that she herself wrote, at a show meant to be a tribute show for Aaliyah (the backup band and dancers were Aaliyah's). What a joke.
* OK, so let me get this straight: some Hollywood moron ok'd a movie to be titled "Lil' Romeo and Lil' Juliet," starring of course Lil' Romeo? And Lil' Romeo's father, Master P, is going to direct? In the infamous words of the Randall character from the Clerks movie/animated series: "that's SO gay!" Talk about someone who deserves to be dragged out into the street and beaten severely...
* Oooo, I can't wait: Papa Roach is headlining their own tour! Oooo, I can't wait to see Coby D*ckhead live and in person. What an awful f*cking band, my left nut could come up with better music.
* "My ambition lies in making The Black Crowes
seem a side note to what I can do." That, friends, is the asinine ramblings of one Chris Robinson. He also mentions that he fought against having certain singles put on that band's last disc, Lions. Number one Chris, you are the lead singer of the Crowes. Your solo disc isn't anything that great (not anything that bad either, but I digress). Second of all, if you're talking about a little number called Soul Singing, you'd be well advised to shup up, since it's the best single your band has had since Wiser Time in 1995. So I'm asking you Chris: DUMP YOKO ONO, call up Steve and kiss his a*s, and in the words of Jake in the Blues Brothers, "get the motherf*cking band back together."
* I keep on hearing about Taproot and how good they are and everything else. Now, granted, all I've heard is the one song on the radio, but in that song, their lead singer apes Layne Staley so bad, I'm just waiting for Jerry Cantrell to smack that dink around.
* How ironic is it that Kelly Osbourne's backing band's name is Pure Rubbish?
* I spoke too soon about my album of the year choices. The Donnas' Spend the Night is rising fast. Heheh, yeah, that would be cool.
* Can someone PLEASE explain to me who buys a Ja Rule album? Even better, can someone PLEASE explain to me WHY someone would WANT to buy a Ja Rule album?
* It seems The Distillers are getting quite a bit of press lately. They'd be a decent band if their frontwoman, Brody Armstrong, didn't sound so much like Courtney Love.
* I see that God still loves to mock me: a new Linkin Park album is due out in March of 2003. WHY??????????
* A few months ago, I told you about a band called Noelle. They're now called Damone, and their major label (RCA) debut comes out in February. Look for it, you will not be disappointed.
* Do two people deserve each other more than Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay singer Chris Martin? Talk about a pair of as*es.
* And lastly, I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was as fun and good as mine was. Unless you're a Vines fan...
