it's not bad in that it has some good, catchy tunes. however, it failed as a second album because they didn't manage to broaden nor change their sound at all. but! it does have reptilia, so nobody could ever call it terrible. ;)
bah. i don't know... i have no problem with jews. maybe others just feel threatened because there are lots of successful jewish people.
to be honest, i've actually seen more of that "gently-gently" approach to jews, whereby anyone who says anything remotely critical is branded "anti-semitic"...
i think some people perhaps feel threatened by the jewish community because they tend to stick together and they're mostly very... well, "jewish", you know? and people are obsessed with the idea of everyone assimilating. i don't know... maybe people are paranoid that the jews are conspiring...
it's nothing against you!
i'm just bitter because all these neo-glam rockers are been held in such high regard by all the gay teenybopper whores and nme and all that crap, but david bowie started it all!!! omgggg ok!? :(
*skulks away*
yeah. :S
i don't find her actual life scary at all... it's the fact that i can relate to so many of her thoughts and ideas that freaks me out. big time.
show your bones was obviously not as good as fever to tell, but i think it was an excellent record in light of the whole "difficult sophomore album" tradition. i mean, they did much better job than, say, the strokes!
i am in love with her poems. *sigh* she was amazing.
i'm yet to read any of her prosaic works; The Bell Jar is next on my list of books to read though! i hear a Hollywood adaptation of the novel is in the works at the moment!
ummmm omg that is sewww hawt! duhhhh. it's got many essential trends (beads, red, patterned tights, skivvy-esque neck, 80's batwing sleeves - omg the 80's are so hot right now), so it must be trendy, right!?
i haven't listened to it yet, but i've heard that the New York Dolls' album that they decided to make for some weird reason this year is terrible, and i'm sure i'll agree. i've no idea why in earth they would do something like that... :S
i just finished 'high fidelity' by nick hornby. it made me feel not so queer about my obsessions with music! :p
and i started 'the secret history' by donna tartt the other day. i must say, ms tartt's extreme wealth of knowledge for all things greek is positively formidable! still, she manages...
