*The Tuesday after Labor Day still counts as Monday, right? Yeah? Awesome. Glad we’re all on the same page.
Full disclosure: This was Baby YHT’s pick. Not even kidding — I held her up in the front of the CD rack and this is what she pulled out. Good sport, that kid.
I didn’t watch the VMAs, and I don’t have much of an opinion on Miley vs. Nicki. I like them both and dislike aspects of this situation on both sides, so I’m sitting this one out.
I feel kind of the same way about Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz — there are things I like and things I don’t like. I can’t tell if it’ll end up being seen as a bold comment on fame and our culture’s obsession with pleasure or a fun side project that could have benefited from editing. (“Pablow the Blowfish” makes me think it’s somehow both.)
There’s one thing I’m not ambivalent about, though: “Lighter” is excellent.
You Hear That
