yesterday, a
woman died after she went into a subway tunnel, trying to get her cellphone. i feel no pity for that woman. when dumb people do dumb things they deserve to die- it's called thinning out the herd.
last night, i put on the new courtney love cd, "america's sweetheart." it's so bad. the first song "mono" isn't that bad, but the other songs are much worse. "sunset strip" sounds like a lost poison b-side, while the bernie taupin penned song sounds like a gay rock/pop/whatever bomb. "life despite god" begins like a diamanda galas song with an organ playing quarter notes and courtney screeching over it. i'm not gonna even talk about "zeplin song." courtney has no voice left and there arent many overdubs here. i'm not going to be critical of her voice because brody armstrong/dalle/whatever-her-name-is now, has no voice either, and she's "hot" now. i am not too proud to admit i liked the first two hole cds, but this cd is unlistenable. most of the cd was written by linda perry, and i think someone (i don't know who) called her the "quincy jones of rock." ummkay. the liner notes are the best because she thanks kirstie alley and the church of $cientology, so maybe there's a lisa marie duet in the future.personally, it makes me sad courtney love, trent reznor, and billy corgan are all burnt out and have all failed to put out anything worth shit since about circa 1994. the moral of the story here is the coke has not been good to them.
anyway, the new kylie minogue cd is gold in comparison. she's much more interesting than madonna or britney spears, but perhaps that's the gay man in me talking.
