NSFW: LET IT BE... NAKED!
There's been a lot of weird hype over the past few weeks. Fair enough that weird, erratic publicity is the most exciting publicity, but after listening to what amounts to straight ELO for the past month it would seem that other bands are trying to get my attention. Who knows if this is something that perpetuates itself when everyone is already paying attention anyway, but this this and this could easily be people playing a desperate media eager to stroke pop culture's ego, as this weekend's SNL aptly pointed out but excessively joked on CNN's Anna Nicole Smith infatuation. I think I'm okay with bands being bands. My math teacher got angry at my class for "giving that skank [Britney Spears] all of her millions" but he's probably just angry that she had perfectly good hair and didn't appreciate it. Kevin Barnes may be the impetus for world peace, Arcade Fire can be about great rock music and Britney Spears has every right to stop making millions of dollars and being pretty so that she can drug, flash, rehab and look like fantastic max. I'm only going to listen to Xanadu a few more times.
