You should totally be reading my work blog!
Congratulations to Elisa’s children, on their introduction to Fleetwood Mac. I hope this supplants any interest in Disney Channel music. I saw those homely Jonas Brothers last weekend on SNL and am even more miffed at mainstream America’s promotion of these charmless, talentless hacks, who seem to be quietly shoveling very conservative values into the ears of America’s youth. Whatever, this shouldn’t even be a thing, because they aren’t real, but America keeps legitimizing them, and this is bad. Everyone: just listen to Rumours and Tusk, and forget this nonsense.
Besides, if it’s disposable culture you’re after, you should really be watching the Real World: Brooklyn, (it’s not the real world, and it’s not really Brooklyn). I keep looking to it as a beacon of progress: these people are unflappable, reasonable, even boring in their lack of roommate affairs, bigotry/hate-mongering, alcoholism. Sure, some of the people in the house are The Worst Human Beings in the World, as always, but it’s all very entertaining, and refreshing in its inability to be controversial at all. There are pranks! Nice house, also.
Winter Songs: I guess it’s a Stevie Nicks week, even though I don’t know if I’d like to meet her in real life. Amazing song, Dreams. “Players only love you when they’re playing” = resonant! Also, this made its rounds a while ago, but today is a good time to revisit it, particularly if you’ve never watched it. Just a lovely moment, Stevie in her dressing room, singing Wild Heart, impromptu and she seems to really love singing. She seems so unhappy as a person, it’s a lovely thing to catch her in her element. Well worth watching.
