Speed round, regular edition:
Proof that Janet really does have a Dirty Mind comes in the form of her new single, "Love Me for a Little While." This record is so absurdly circa-1980 Prince-influenced it's, well, absurd. In a good way.
Dirt McGirt interpolates, of all things, a Coors Light jingle in his guest spot on JC Chasez's "Some Girls (Dance with Women)." Hopefully, that doesn't - it shouldn't - overshadow the fact that Chasez's increasingly sounding pretty damn interesting in his own right. Entertainment Weekly intimated recently that he's sounding awfully Princey, too. In a good way. The single certainly does the elastic funk-pop business.
Duke. Stanford. St. Joseph's. And...??? Who wants to be the fourth #1 seed in the Big Dance? As he does every year, ESPN's Andy Katz went to the NCAA selection committee's "refresher course" last week, and reports that it's anyone's guess.
So, obviously, Dean, even the hardcore Deaniacs have to admit (if being realistic), is done in his quest for the White House. But I hope and pray that the DNC doesn't forget his impact and influence on the primary campaign - or his legions of supporters, who will not take kindly to being left out in the cold if that's the way this is played. I'm not the biggest fan of Kerry, but I'm warming up to him, and if he's the Dem nominee, I will support him - though stupid statements like yesterday's one made to NPR, stating that he could conceivably support a Constitutional amendment against gay marriage, don't help. Today's the VA primary election, and I will be casting my vote for Dean, if only as a "thanks for everything you've done to get people excited again" gesture. [More on Dean: The Village Voice's Rick Perlstein on the sting he's packed, and how it may affect the Dems - and the GOP - in November.]
Holy shit, Batman! After a year-long absence, Fred's back! Praise be.
My gosh, Ludacris's new single, "Splash Waterfalls," is really, really dirty. Me, I'm just a sucker for those shag carpeting-plush synth chords.
