Re: “The Kreayshawn Myth”
Took a moment this weekend to check out a couple of the girl's vids. Reminded me of recent immigrants from, say, the Middle East, who learn every possible English language swear word, then think it's cool to try and use them all in one sentence.
I'm afraid she should do time for her get up at the MTV awards show. Truly a sick crime of fashion.
Re: “The Kreayshawn Myth”
"if Kreashawn's shelf life is what i think it's going to be, look for that 'porno' of her to get leaked any day now once the PR push behind her gets stale." some good premonition there... As soon as she lost the VMA award look what conveniently happen... uhh ohh nude photo.

This person has done no research and knows less than most more than casual Tori fans
Re: “Ladies First at Summer Jam”
Sounds like the crowd Ellen described at the Toby Keith concert. Was there any tobacco dipping going on?

I heard burningman is for ugly sex maniacs
Re: “The Kreayshawn Myth”
Good article. Kreayshawns going to make it big. To clear things up, Kreayshawn has never said the n word, as she tells people all the time. If you listen to her freestyles on youtube or watch her videos, you will see that she does not use that word; the only way that the word sneaks into her songs is if V-Nasty rhymes in one of them. As for V-Nasty, people need to stop hating. Yeah, its wrong that she says the n word, but many black artists do and no one ever says one word about it. Its a double standard, which isnt fair. She can freestyle dope verses, and has a substantial amount of talent, as does Kreayshawn. W.G.M's going places.
Re: “An Outside Lands Recap”
I was shocked a couple of years ago when a black male musician friend told me, out of the blue, that as a white woman jazz musician, I'm a novelty and would draw audiences because of that. I was shocked - shocked and pissed. Even though It's possible he was right.
Re: “An Outside Lands Recap”
"Replace any other 'visible minority' for "female" and you will see how bigoted that statement is. "
Ooo. Ooo Let me try, @disgusted by lazy & sexist music journalism.
...because having a transgender, buddhist, bowling pro Eskimo member is still a sort of novelty, acts that aren't really that good get press even if they don't yet deserve it.
Hmmm. Not sure that sounds especially bigoted. Come to think of it, it does sound like a novelty.
Re: “An Outside Lands Recap”
Arcade Fire is nothing special...maybe they are for this day and age, but John Foggerty showed everyone how it is to Rock and Roll
Re: “Toby Keith and the American Way”
I checked out Keith's lyrics. Sounds pretty autobiographical, actually:
"He flunked junior high band he couldn't march in time.
He tried to write a song once, he couldn't make it rhyme...."
Re: “Toby Keith and the American Way”
Nice language there ELLEN.
Since you are considered a "critic" on some level, I suggest you take the time and read the lyrics to THE CRITIC, written by Mr. Keith himself. You might identify with what he has to say.

"because having a female member is still a sort of novelty, acts that aren't really that good get press even if they don't yet deserve it."
Wow.
Replace any other 'visible minority' for "female" and you will see how bigoted that statement is.
Also, she is more than a "capable" guitarist - it sounds, by your tone, as though you were surprised she was able to play at all. Gross.
Re: “Cut the Music, Bring the Noise at the Solano Stroll”
@Dalton, That "get a life" thing is used as a taunt by people trying to avoid the issues. "Anonymous" has posted before against the EBX article and in favor of the Stroll and the association. Just ignore him. :)
Re: “Cut the Music, Bring the Noise at the Solano Stroll”
Have life, have friends, know over 300 hundred musicians by handshake. I could say go to college and get educated but whats the use, I feel like I am talking to the Tea Party.
Re: “Man/Miracle Pares Down and Gets Loose”
Another fyi, they have been playing music together as a group for 10 years.
