Love Shack, Baby!
A moment of silence as the infamous "Love Shack" of the B-52's has been reduced to a pile of ashes.
LOWLIGHTS OF 04
You're no Elvis
I first heard Incubus back in 1997 when their debut EP "Enjoy Incubus" came out. I, like some of my coworkers at the college paper were absolutely blown away. The band combined mixtures of punk, rock and funk with hippy grooves and wild riffing vocals. The PR guy at Immortal Records just asked me to listen to it, but I reviewed it instead, giving it one of the few five-star votes of my college writing career.
Now, 7 years later, the band has released "A Crow Left of the Murder." It wasn't a horrible album, but not what I expected. I kept reading interviews with the band before the album was released, with the band saying, "This is much harder than before" and "We're going back to our old style." I hoped for songs that recalled the funk of "Hilikus," but didn't find it.
Again. Not a bad album. Just not what I hoped for. But I am glad that they stepped back from the commercialism and made an album they were happy with.
Lohan "sings"
I still don't understand this one. The latest rumor is that Paris Hilton came to her senses and decided against releasing an album. Unfortunately, someone told Ms. Lohan this was a good idea. Oh, and don't tell people you hate those who lip-synch and would never do it, and then prove otherwise in your television debut. Way to go, dumbass!
Happy holidays!
Of course, I could easily bash others, but what's the point of that? It's the holiday's - a time to be happy and giving.
So, I'll switch focus in the coming days to discussing some of the year's highlights and some "honorable mentions."
I'll also give you time to enjoy that nice video clip above of Lip-synching Lohan.
Haha
