But now I discover myself whistling the song totally against my conscious will. Fair and/or Simpson must've noticed this insinuatingness when they decided to cover it.
I prefer the other songs Jaded Era streams to "Invisible." At least, I prefer them as Jaded Era songs, their loud rock working better with Kira's over-emphatic rock babe voice. (All four Jaded Era myspace tracks, incl. "Invisible," are downloadable.) Ashlee's a much smarter singer. Wish she'd chosen a better song, but then this one could hit and revive her alb (so far has sold less than half as well as Autobiography), and the video - while not a new idea (she's boxing, girl power) - is more striking (and jabbing and punching) (sorry, my jokes are bad today) than her recent we-are-driving-fast-and-dancing-around-and-it-bothers-the-cops-and-we're-so-transgressive shoots.

As some of you know, or as some of you have heard - I am no longer with Island/defjam. I am starting a new journey into the very music industry that I have grown up so quickly in. I have been with Island for four years and it is now time for me to spread my wings and continue the search to utter and complete satisfaction. There will always be a place in my heart for that record company.Because of all these changes Sunday Love is on hold, once again. I know that seems like such a bummer for many of you, but please look at it this way - when I DO get this album to all of you, it will be so right - so perfect. I always believe everything happens for a reason, and that change is a very good thing. If things always just stayed the same, then life woulld be so predictably boring.This is such a wonderful thing for me to work with new people and get fresh ideas.I will keep everyone in the loop with everything, and I will let you know when Sunday Love has a new release date.
A million kisses to you all,
fefe dobson.

Answers to all the questions in your bulbous heads!
Hey Bubble Bee's and Bumblegums!
You're all probably wondering y I was in Sweden... not only is it a wonderful place but there's wonderful music men who make magic songs that turn into magnificent mega hits! And I was seeking their services like Dorthy on her way to the Wizard. I captured the Wizard and brought him back to Kansas ( LA) where we're finishing a song as I type!... k ... jkjk... sing!...hjakj GUITAR!.. ghsja
It's hella hot in Cali, summer has arrived my friends! Can you feel it? Protect your skin, SPF!
I hate to say it but this means the records pushed back again! Thanks to my spastic amounts of creativity surging unexspectedly. Haha! Not like you guys haven't found out yet! You always know what's going on before I do! So yes, Oct. 3rd is where we stand right now... so hold on!
LOVE YOU!!! oxox

Subject: Jessica Simpson's Pubic Affair Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 10:29:52 -0400 From: ???@sonybmg.com Add to Address Book Add Mobile Alert
Call me for a listen of the new single…For Immediate Release June 26, 2006JESSICA SIMPSON’S NEW MUSIC IS ‘A PUBLIC AFFAIR’First Single Blasts Off Everywhere On June 27th; New Album Set ForAugust 29thNew York, NY—Superstar JESSICA SIMPSON is gearing up to release her fifth solo album A Public Affair on August 29th, 2006. Simpson boasts songwriting credits on nine out of the twelve slated tracks, produced by the most sought-after producers in the business: Lester Mendez, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Cory Rooney, Scott Storch and Stargate. The festivities surrounding the Affair kick off on Tuesday, June 27th with the explosion of her first single, a dance-pop summer smash entitled “A Public Affair.” Reminiscent of a fun roller-skating jam, co-written by Jessica and Johnta Austin (Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige) and produced by Lester Mendez, the anthem is already tearing up the airwaves and the internet. This week, Chuck Taylor of Billboard proclaimed, “Jessica Simpson opens a new chapter in her life ready to set the charts ablaze. This record is perfect!”

There was more, but what the heck...

Curious to hear other people's opinions on "A Public Affair." Jessica's doing a restrained Madonna "Holiday" bit ("restrained Madonna 'Holiday'" might seem like a contradiction in terms, but this works: "Holiday"'s sweet haze, though without the emotional reach of Madonna's early years).
Are any of you going to try and be in Jessica's video?

The thing is, with any new Shanks product I have insanely high expectations, but unless he's working with one of the teenies I also get secret satisfaction from believing its mediocre, since I can then say, "See, without Ashlee and Lindsay and Hilary he can't do it. Their talents are crucial to the enterprise."
By the way, Sheryl Crow is a co-writer on a couple of the SHeDAISY tracks, again with a so-what result.
(Apologies if this is a double post; I've been getting poxy fuled all over.)

(Not teenpop - among other things, Kraus would be too old for the category (don't know how old, but she sang backup on the second Blind Melon album) - but still the same basic family-drama confessional shoutback that you're getting from the teen angstpoppers.)

Phillip Glass and Dizzee Rascal "Stand Up and Dance"]Marit Larsen "Don't Change Me" ("Only a Fool" would have made the top ten if it had been a single)t.A.T.u.

Obviously I've been neglecting hip-hop and country more than usual, and metal and rock and indie and adult contemporary just about as much as usual.

(Frank, "4ever" and "What's In It For Me" are probably 2005. "End Of Me" was a single in some Asian countries in 05, but was released in Norway in 06 and as far as I'm concerned, is the BEST Max Martin-girl-rock single of them all. "Since U Been Gone" pales beside it)

I should have included a couple more Pop World Cup tracks on the long list (though I have no clue if they're within the last couple of years): Lida's "Bito Nemikhandam" and Ovo's "Dormir."
I seem to be one of the few here who's not feeling Nelly F. or Xtina. Their singles this year feel cold. I'm listening a lot to the Pack's "Vans" and Chow Nasty's "Ungawa," both of which are the sort of catchy numbers that might make my P&J or might fade to total insignificance.

Got an advance of the Lillix album; it will take a while for me to to know what I think of it, since most of it's a lot more girl-poetry sounding (not the words, but the music) than "Sweet Temptation" - but played loud, like Meg & Dia.
