Flashback: Beck and her rapper boys
It is hard to truly express in words how little I care about Pete Wentz. Here is my Wentz-olution: I saw the clip for that Arms Race song and I thought "Oooh, the bassist is kinda cute, but why is he in, like, every single shot?" (I had seen other FOB clips, but I didn't pay any attention to them ever, so, idk). And then I said to Trav "Hey, he's cute." And Trav said "Little Petey? Of course you think he's cute, everyone does." And then I went "Meh!" because I'm perverse. And then I got all into MCR, and, by association 'bandom' (The only band in bandom I actually LIKE is MCR! Ok, and PatD's first album) and Pete Wentz was EVERYWHERE and I was all WTF, that vageuely attractive guy from that band? And then I realised that he seemed like a doucheburger, but I didn't care enough to actively dislike him. And now he's married to Ashlee Simpson? Who went through that one, brief, cute 'alternative' phase where she wore argyle sweater-vests and had dark hair, but is now nothing different to any other pop singer. And lo, the flist went batshit.
OH GOD, I DON'T CARE ABOUT PETE WENTZ SO HAAAAAAAAAARD.
I'll tell you who is more interesting than Pete Wentz: Eminem. I listened to 'Kim' on the way to work the other day and almost burst into tears while crossing the road. The fascinating thing about that song, is that through all the ultra-violence and hate, there is SO. MUCH. CRAZY. LOVE. for that women. He's playing out a revenge fantasy, but even in his own revenge fantasy, where he has the power and ability to do whatever he pleases, he makes himself completely head-over-heels-screwed-up in love with her. The story is, he's killing his ex after she shacked up with some other guy. And through it all he's blubbering and telling her how bad he loves her, (I hate you! I swear to god I hate you! ...oh, god, I ove you) and asking for validation (Kim, why don't you like me? You think I'm ugly, don't you?). AND. AND. As if that isn't screwed up enough (OH, MARSHALL) he plays both parts! He puts on 'Kim's' voice and becomes the women he's opressing! People dismiss this song as being nothing but a misogynistic abomination, but Marshall is condemming himself so hard through the whole thing, how can they not see that? By playing Kim's part, he's actually killing himself, punishing himself for his own obsession.
Yeah. When little Petey opens himself as vulnerably as that I might show some interest in him.
Also. You know who I miss? 50 Cent. I do. I used to love him.But the Fiddy of today is NOT the same Fiddy who came out with beautiful and heartbreaking lines like "Mama said everything that happened to us was part of God's plan/so at night when I talk to him I got my gun in my hand." A man who can say that is someone to take notice of. I haven't heard him say anything worth taking notice of in his last two albums, and that's really depressing.
In other news, I just spent ten minutes on Google image search trying to decide which is cuter - baby leopards, tigers, cheetahs or lions. I think cheetahs JUST win, because of their stupid fuzzy heads.
Hi, guys, Welcome to my day off.
