Music Reviews

After receiving some critical acclaim for "The News from Here", we continue to move in exciting new directions and pledge a higher quality of material to our fans. As the continuation of the "I'm more cultured than my sisters" series, this post will feature some reviewed music. It will be divided into 3 sections:

1. Featured Song/Artist
2. The Kind of Stuff my Sisters Enjoy
3. My Mom's Song/Artist (that I secretly enjoy)

Featured Artist: Air

Air is a band of two French guys, who I don't think are gay. If you have this band on your iPod you'll the envy of every woman at Enrichment. I'd never seen this music video before so I don't look into it too much. Although it can be noted that the video has 2 ties from our family's past: Ping-Pong and Pong (from Ricky's Atari). The synergy of this post is amazing...

The Kind of Stuff my Sisters Enjoy: Paula Abdul

This video reminds me of when I first saw it. 1990-Vacaville, CA-The Clark's home. I think we were going to Disneyland, which would make it the last time our family went on a trip. I remember that all the girls loved the video and Rolene told me it was cool. Our friendship was short-lived asRolene and I got into a fight over who got to sleep in the hideaway bed and later that night I threw up in the bathroom. Needless to say, I wasn't allowed back there for 16 years.
This song reminds me of Lindsay, mostly because of how Paula dresses (besides the low cut dress of course). She is like a Jewish Lindsay. Also the ponytail on the top of the head was something Lindsay used to do (like when Paula is dancing on the trash cans). That is the Lindsay Brett fell in love with.

My Mom's Artist (that I secretly enjoy): Linda Ronstadt

I discovered that this was my favorite Linda Ronstadt song recently when I was shopping at Smith's and realized that I knew every word. The intro to this video moves me, I watched the first 17 seconds several times over. I get lost in her piercing stare at the camera --and I see her portrait up with all the aunts and uncles at Grandma's house (like the Will Ferrell one at the bottom of the page). I feel that she really likes mashed potatoes and steak.





Well that's the first installment of the music reviews, now I have to get back to reading in my sociology book.
