As I write this blog post I am listening to the new Madonna album, and since I make a point of not really talking about the music/artists that I am "reviewing" each day, maybe now is a good time to say at least the first track on the album is really crappy. It is called 4 minutes, produced by timbaland, and CRAPPY. Track 2 just kicked in and maybe it is a little better, or maybe not, the first line is "I just woke up from a fuzzy dream". Madonna has lost he "reinvention" magic that she had going for so long. Too bad kind of, but also not so bad, I am sick of Madonna and her stupid English accent. Seriously I don't think she gets enough shit for that accent, it's not like she just picked it up when she started dating Guy Ritchie, she has been busting out a phony English accent since back in the day, and it is stupid, and makes me think she is actually pretty stupid herself, even though all other evidence points to her being some kind of the genius. Anyhow much less on this album tomorrow.
Diana Krall is like Norah Jones I guess, singing old timey music. This album is a tribute to Nat King Cole I have heard, but I much prefer old Nat. Santogold is new Madonna, or maybe the new Cindi Lauper, either way I don't know. I don't really like that whatayacallit, like MIA Caribbean rap shit, or whatever you call it, and so I don't really like Santogold too much either (BTW I misspelled this word and the spell checker from Blogger offered "Eat Her" as a possible correct word choice. Is there as section of naughty blogs that I don't know about? Penthouse letters blogs or something. "I walked into the neighbors kitchen thinking I was going to fix a leaky faucet and next thing I knew she asked me to eat her"). Both these albums get 2 and 1/2 stars.
