She might be looking more comfortable but she’s still really lethargic and conservative and singing with a method all the time. It’s getting old to me.

Agree about Exile. But I always liked Whip-Smart. There’s something about it.

me too! If Sheryl isn’t Gen-X, then what is she?

That picture of Jon Bongiovi makes me feel funny on the inside. But not the kind he’d like. Yeah baby, love me some overly coiffed, smug pop stars with too much chest hair. Wooot.

Um, are those Axl’s naked inner thighs? He looks gayer than Judas Priest.

I just wonder how it goes when someone who depends on their lungs, singing for a living, develops emphysema. Seems like it will make her old before her time. I don’t see too many energetic dancy tours in her future. Emphysema is non-reversible, right?

What a waste.

I’m with anon. Not only does she keep coming up but it’s the same damn Liz Thing referenced over and over. After the next one I’ll move from mildly to slightly irritatingly.

How many times can she call out the interviewer? At least as many as she’s expecting her fans to fork over $ for the same album, I figure.

There has to be a name for these people who had big success with one or two songs, then wandered around tryin’ new stuff on, mannn, for awhile, then decide to revisit the big successes and run it one more time. And previously unaware kids are actually buying it. Think Alanis with her “You Oughta Know” unplugged. Liz with this dreck. Maroon 5 putting out that thing congratulating themselves on their classic album, like 3 or 4 years after it was released? something like that

Mr. Rotten — when he’s right, he’s right.

Coldplay is not a band for the ages, come on everybody.

They can KMA. You hear me Lars!? K M A

I thought this sounded cool. Then the last time I tried to share the news with friends online, one of them snobbily pointed out that he’s actually ripping off a project that was similar some years ago in Europe.

I decided that all the artsyfartsy snobby asshole musician types like this deserve each other.

Don’t you mean you’d “tap that?” since we’re in a former world of trite phrasing (back in the long long ago when Liz was cool)

Just because someone can’t write songs doesn’t mean they can’t criticize songs that have been written by others.

He’s done some other things — like wear a do-rag at the Super Bowl (and shred like a mofo while doing it).

Whoever wrote that clapclaptrap must surely know their error by now. I mean, that’s just silly.

Back to reality: I LOVE THIS. Prince vs. Radiohead smackdown over copyright issues. Gotta love it. And it dovetails nicely with their free mp3 album release and all the other stuff. Go Thom, GO!

As an aside, don’t you find it interesting that Prince would be so aggressively scrubby and covetous about his work, after screaming for years about unreasonableness out of Warner Bros? And that his efforts mean, in the end, that the people whose song he covered were among those who couldn’t see the performance (and it was his doing that made it so)? Now, I like Prince. A lot. But he needs to freakin chill.

They didn’t just get back together. I saw them last fall at a huge show at the Hollywood Bowl. Their opening at was The Spinners.

She just tromps on, despite kinda sucking, and people not feeling it, and most people treating her singing with indifference or fingerpointing. So is she a brave little soldier, or slightly insane? (hint: neither is conducive to an actual singing career getting off the ground.) These types of projects are the musical equivalent of stunt casting. Hate to get all Simon Cowell on you, but it’s indulgent, and a train wreck.

I agree with you , wilceaux and Stephen B. Even if it happened exactly as Paul says, he’s totally abnormal for acting like it wasn’t a collaboration at all. I mean, obviously, it was. Normal people realize this instantly. Guess he really is a prick.

I don’t care what anybody says, “Anna Begins” is a beautiful song. So is “Mr. Jones.” Really, that whole album is good.

I remember wondering why he had such issues, when it became clear he was writing for acceptance somehow. It was like he had the issues of a teenage girl. He really cares what the public thinks, though he shouldn’t. He needs to grow up, obviously, but more than that, he needs to be himself finally. Get rid of those ridiculous dreds for starters.

And I end my $.02 of pop psychology pulled right out of my ass by saying: 1. John Mayer is headed down this same road 2. Adam is still not as douchey as that guy from Smash Mouth.

Sheryl Crow is such a buffoon.
