Who knew knew an Adam Lambert fan had enough chutzpah to take home three worst comment awards? Maybe my favorite quote regarding Freddie Mercury will heal our chapped hides:

“I’m sick of people comparing Freddie Mercury to God. I mean he’s good…but he’s no Freddie Mercury.”

I like the first two songs. But I can’t help but feel like I’m being marketed to as part of the whole manic pixie dream girl type fad when I watch the videos. Maybe she got too tied up in the “business” part of it and will later perfect her music on later albums.

I think it’s a beautiful cover…but she’s a beautiful lady so maybe I’m biased.

Fair enough, until TMZ shows me Ben Gibbard’s monthy grooming expense report I would have to assume that his ass is hairy.

Thanks for the info, TMZ, but what I’m really waiting for is the sex tape!

Bon Iver? Maybe his record was scratched…

Hummer!

Oh, and A Sorta Fairytale.

I love this album. I think people expecting more of For Emma should understand that album was a snapshot in time, I don’t think that sound could or should be recreated. Justin Vernon has done a magnificent job of growing and exploring as an artist. That, my friends, is what good music is all about! I’m in love!

I’m embarrassed to admit I looked this up — but it’s tastebuds.fm. In case anyone is interested.

Time will tell, but I can remember as far back as OK Computer, with each release there being this aura of the possibility that the newest album might not be as amazing/earth-shattering/revolutionary as the last. Later, sometimes years, the dust settles because we’ve held our breath long enough to let it. I think Radiohead will always have these sort of albums where some claim genius and others cry foul. I think as time passes all their albums seem to age well like (I hate to make this comparison) wine….or cheese, but that’s not as pretty sounding.

James Taylor, self titled album.

I kind of wish they’d go on a long anticipated “break” like the Foo fighters.
