I'm an oldies and obscure music fiend. Marina and the Diamonds, Ludo, Elizabeth and the Catapult, Ben Folds (who isn't really that obscure... but I love him), Regina Spektor (her song Oedipus has been playing on repeat for three hours), MIKA, anyone who takes a little digging to find, as well as the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Lionel Richie, and Led Zeppelin. But I draw the line at the music of NOW.
I may sound like a prude, but having the future leaders of the world (AKA our delusional youth)(Sorry kids) listen to music in which Ke-dollar sign-ha eats her boyfriends and partakes in binge drinking doesn't really sound like a good plan. Currently I've been wondering what happened to quality music that didn't involve drunken blackout sex and Katy Perry wanting to see (pea)cocks.
But anyway, letters. I've actually written Ke$ha a couple letters on my old letter-writing medium, Facebook, one pertaining to her destruction of her New Year's Resolution (not to be a douchebag) just by saying it on national television, and the other pertaining to the repugnant song Cannibal my lovely friend Devon obligated me to listen to (wait... shit, is to a preposition? I can't end a sentence that long on a preposition! Screw it, I'm not well read enough to correct it)
But anyway, I thought I'd put my two Ke$ha letters on here as a kind of peek into my previous letters. And if you're a Ke$ha fan... sorry, I guess.
Letter #1:
Ke$ha,
I could bitch about your failed New Year's Resolution, but then again, I said I was going to eat healthier while eating a burger, so I guess we're all just hypocrites. You continue to be a douchebag and I'll eat my fries and we'll pretend to try again next year.
Cordially,
Corinne
P.S. I still don't like you. No hard feelings.
Letter #2:
Dear Ke$ha,
I didn't think anyone could possibly besmirch the name of Jeffrey Dahmer any further than he already has... congratulations, you proved me wrong.
Corinne
P.S. Good for you, teaching our future leaders their serial killers. Your mother must be so proud.
Disclaimer: If you know any good music of NOW, tell me! I'm always on the lookout! Also, I don't condone Jeffrey Dahmer's cannabalistic and necrophilic actions. Just making sure we were clear.
Amen! Oh you're too funny. Sarcasm will never be take for grated.
ReplyDeleteUm, I read the title and had to pause for a second at the ridiculous comparison...imagine, if you will, the man of the legend in ke-dollar sign-ha's ridiculous clothing and blue eyeliner. And then you will see why I may/may not have busted up laughing for a full five minutes before actually being able to read your post.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Ke$ha has a song about eating people? ...in what way is that even close to socially appropriate? ...no idea.
I <3 S & G, The Beatles, (I have a book called Beatle Meets Destiny out from the library right now but I'm not sure if it's any good...), Regina Spektor (whose music I discovered from the Narnia soundtrack)...and I don't know any of your other musicians. I take it they're good?
Keep writing, m'dear. Your quirky irony is always funny!
~Eve!~
Lady: Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment :)
ReplyDeleteEve: Oh my God. I will sketch that at some point. It's a real song, man. Cannibal... it's too catchy for its own good.
Ha! I would love to see that picture!
ReplyDeleteIs it? Huh. I should look that up. ...then again, it's probably got subliminal messages that are trying to get us all to eat one another. Then again again, subliminal usually means underneath the actual part, right? ...ay caramba, this is making my head hurt!
I think Ke$ha's just trying to get us to believe that she's Holier Than Us because she consumes human flesh.
ReplyDelete...how does that make one holier, might I ask?
