There are only four major album releases today, but one of them is so exciting, it makes up for the small numbers. Finally, you can get The Best Damn Thing by Avril Lavigne. If all the songs are as good as the hit single "Girlfriend," it will certainly live up to its title!
I remember a few years ago when every gay bar in Iowa was filled with cookie cutter Abercrombitches doing karaoke to "sk8erboi." Those were the days of slippery nipples and bathroom cruising, but that song wore out its welcome. Luckily, Avril has moved on just like I have, and I have a feeling this is going to be the album for Spring and Summer pop music fun. Just what we need in tragic times!
I have to admit that I don't really get the Nine Inch Nails. The whole Goth thing just escapes me: anorexic boys wearing make up (okay, I get that part, but still!) and brooding while listening to music about death and sex, often at the same time. Sure, their videos are cool, but they just aren't my style. If I want to hear something edgy, there are several Cranberries songs that will do the trick quite nicely.
However, I know there are a lot of NIN fans out there, and to you I say: I know it seems obvious that the band's name is a penis reference, but is that true? Is there something gay going on here? I must know! Anyway, the new NIN album, Year Zero, was released today.
The other two new releases are by Joseph Arthur and Robert Pollard, and I have absolutely no idea who these people are, so instead I will create another fabulous entry in:
