What do you think of MTV Teen Mom Farrah Abraham's first single?

Interesting review in Dummy: http://dummymag.com/features/2012/10/03/comment-why-teen-mom-farrah-abraham-s-dream-is-our-reality/

I don't really agree with framing it as "camp," per se, and pitting this album against mainstream pop just doesn't seem like it makes a lot of sense. Still wondering about production -- I imagine it was made on FL Studio (or something equivalent) but not necessarily by FLA.

this is one of my favorite albums of 2012

much to my wife's chagrin

seems relevant to this thread:

why does this go on for 6 minutes

that's not my only question but that was the first one that came to mind

this album's been out for several months and still nobody's found out who produced or how it was made or anything? nobody's been able to get an interview with her?

my attempts have been a dead end so far

btw if anyone wants to read the wire review (it's just a few paras) i can email it

this is one of my favorite albums of 2012

Yup.

Still no info on production, have thought about trying to get an interview as well, may have a lead on getting contact info but not sure. Meanwhile I submitted a question to her next book (where she answers fan mail, basically) about the album and am eagerly awaiting her non-response.

Was this released on a physical cd?

Maybe there are credits in the booklet?

no cd

Late to the party, but here comes Tiny Mix Tapes with their review. Spoiler alert: it's positive.

This is one of my AND my wife's favorite albums of 2012

Maybe this is avant garde maybe not but it's definitely (to borrow a phrase from George Harrison) "avant garde a clue". Someone with no talent but lots of publicity producing something. It's 'outsider art' in the sense that it is outside the realm of good taste but this isn't some homeless lady or mentally challenged individual or otherwise obsessive artist type who feel driven to create. This is a shitty vanity project that will get lots of un-needed attention from people that think they are being brilliant in calling it avant garde.

intentional fallacy

As far as I know, The Shaggs weren't homeless or handicapped.

holy shit!

i added "searching for closure" to the eoy spotify playlist and was like "this album, song title, and cover art looks suspiciously earnest for an ilx-championed song, what's the deal?" WOW.

yeah, it is a battle between that song and "After the Prom" as to which one is my favorite

they're both so effortlessly creepy without using any of the normal "hey this is a creepy song" signifiers

just realized who she reminds me of...MySpace supremeo 4Poundz!

The AV Club totally fails to understand the brilliance of this record. Unsurprising, given the clotted, stale turds that made up most of their "best music of 2012."

That Onion A.V. Club feature is always the worst (except for some of the weird categories they come up with, e.g. the Michael Jackson covers thing). They slotted the second t.A.T.u. album in the "least essential" slot a few years ago. Works better as an accidental recommendation feature.

Jukebox was weirdly on board with FLA (middling score, low controversy). Haven't seen the album anywhere but the Guardian year-end so far.

So did anyone ever find out who produced/wrote these songs?

in this "comedy" interview she says she wrote the songs. also sings along v briefly to "on my own" :)

wtf is happening

Farrah Abraham has made a sex video with James Deen. (Link is to TMZ and is SFW.)

uh

well i guess if you are going to make a sex tape with a person then

for some reason i thought this thread revive was going to be related to the knife's album

oh my god

what makes this a sex tape and not a porn film?

soz 4 pedantry.

interesting q, taxonomically

she's filming it under her own name and presumably has some other occupation as a main gig

though in a genius blurring twist has filmed a sex tape w/ a porn performer, and not, say, taken tape sex w/ a boyfriend which has later leaked

trying to think of a analogous sitch to this and i really can't

rap mixtapes?

wtf guys

changing the sex tape game the way she changed the memoir game with my teenage dream ended.

the tapes they are selling are in fact audio tapes and this is in fact her follow up album

wtf guys

ha i'd like to know precisely what about this convo prompted this

you don't see how the "rap mixtapes?" comment/joke could come across really, really poorly?

???

oh, ok! no i mean there are a million ways this is a bizarre conversation, i just didn't know which one you meant!

i don't think the mixtape analogy works. i don't think there is an analogy. this woman breaks my head. still haven't heard the album.

uh? it's what came to mind in terms of something that used to connote a bootleg status and is now a professionally produced marketing tool.

well i see that. but marketing for what?? it is the thing itself. idk

Ceci n'est pas une porno.

for her. she's the brand, right?

i guess so

Asked about her participation in a recently shot "sex tape," MTV reality show personality Farrah Abraham pretended to know nothing about it.

"I don't ... exist ... anything about that," she told TMZ.

haha her unique way with words remains. i wonder if this movie will have her ear for dialogue.

"I don't ... exist ... anything about that,"

my new mantra
