She couldn't have less to say if she were plantlife. This album is beyond garbage. Case in point: "she opens the album with a little yelp of "yah! that's hott!"

Oh, that's been mentioned.

She doesn't actually sing, though, right? I mean really, there has to have been some "help" on that front. It doesn't quite sound like Paris Hilton. It might even sound like someone trying to imitate Paris Hilton. I mean, right?

― mcd (mcd), Thursday, 17 August 2006 19:12 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I tht the album was called Paris is Burning, I'm so disappointed it's not.

THIS ALBUM IS VERY IMPORTANT

― Jimmy Mod: THE HANDLESS ORGANIST (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Thursday, 17 August 2006 20:29 (nineteen years ago)

In any case, ILX should be proud of being the first thing listed in association with Paris there.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 17 August 2006 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sure Paris really digs on Captain Beefheart.

I can't wait to hear her version of "Veteran's Day Poppy".

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Thursday, 17 August 2006 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

Isn't there a Sugar Ray video/possibly song that looks/sounds very similar to "Stars are Blind"?

― Tape Store (Tape Store), Thursday, 17 August 2006 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

"Veteran's Day Poppy" would be a piece of cake for such a talented and versatile artist. I'd be more interested in her "Pena".

― Scourage (Haberdager), Thursday, 17 August 2006 22:29 (nineteen years ago)

It's not that you have bad taste, The Lex. It's that you have no soul.

I've got it! Paris should cover "Hot Head".

THREAD OF THE YEAR

― zeus (zeus), Friday, 18 August 2006 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

I just get bored about half-way through every song. Not such a problem, it seems like the album was built to be flipped through.

"Don't ask me for my number, cause my numbers undercover."

If only it weren't soulless. I've heard more emotion from household pets.

― Mordechai Shinefield (Mordy), Friday, 18 August 2006 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

so, better than the Beatles then?

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 18 August 2006 20:51 (nineteen years ago)

in what way could it not be soulless?

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 18 August 2006 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

wow I remember when I first started posting here and all I cared about was 'soul' and 'authenticity' and stuff, and people slagged me for it, and I remembered that I loved 'ballroom blitz' and 'dance dance dance' too, and I started having a lot more fun and unfurrowing my brow, and my writing and life both got better.

now apparently things have changed and we have to go around being all beardy and sincere. WELL I WONT STAND FOR IT DAMMIT I WONT.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Friday, 18 August 2006 20:57 (nineteen years ago)

I just don't understand why Lex would praise the album for its "unashamedly light, plastic" nature and then also single out Paris for providing its "beating, yearning heart" (keywords for "AUTHENTIC" if ever there were any). I mean, which one is it?

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 18 August 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

I don't need soul, or authenticity. Though they are both nice. It's just that the Paris album doesn't compell me. I don't find it interesting in the least. An album could be inauthentic, lack soul, etc, and still make me want to listen to it. I could just not have given it enough of a chance yet, but every song gets boring about one minute in. The first minute, you get the point, and then listening to the rest pays no dividends. It lacks propulsion - that's probably a better adjective than soulless. (Though it's definitely soulless too... could Paris sound like she cares less?)

― Mordechai Shinefield (Mordy), Friday, 18 August 2006 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

She should do an entire cover album of "Hot" songs:
Captain Beefheart "Hot Head"
Throbbing Gristle "Hot on the Heels of Love"
Cheap Trick "Hot Love"
Guided by Voices "Hot Freaks"
Robert Johnson "They're Red Hot"

help me out here...

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Friday, 18 August 2006 22:14 (nineteen years ago)

Robert Johnson "They're Red Hot"

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Friday, 18 August 2006 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

But what's going on in the Stars are Blind video? I saw it without sound in a nightclub and had to stop dancing and wet myself laughing. Which is a shame because I was making magic with the hottest girl there to Pump It. For somebody who can presumably no longer menstruate, she has the grace of a drunk giraffe. The lipsynch seems really strange too.

I actually get the impression I'd like this, but theres no way in hell I could bring myself to line that evil bitch's (and I mean that in the nicest way possible) pockets.

yeah, that was one of the things that made me put the cd back at the record store today and thinking I could download this instead... but Lex has sold it to me and I will make this evil bitch (who I really like) even richer pretty soon !

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 21 August 2006 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

the best discussion so far on the album is on the teenpop thread (this has good stuff from me and a bunch of other people trying and failing to be funny)

This is the problem with a lot of the Lex's writing about pop. He wants it to be accepted as Statement rather than just entertainment and applies a lot of quite rockist criteria to it.

I intend to listen to this album tonight, despite Stars Are Blind being one of the worst records I've heard this year.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 09:39 (nineteen years ago)

But surely that is pop i.e. Paris Hilton says she wants people to take her record as a statement and not just entertainment. Should he say 'silly Paris, I know better than her what is and isn't a statement'? Or try and make sense of that statement on its own terms. The trouble with you so-called poptimists is that you trivialise everything and reduce it all to 'entertainment'. Thom Yorke is 'entertainment' when he says bad things about nice Mr Blair and it gets reported in the culture industry; Paris is making a 'statement' when she releases a record. It's a statement which may end up entertaining people, and decadent sophisticates such as yourself who listen to it 'ironically': 'she doesn't really MEAN the statement, it's all a scam'.

― alext (alext), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 11:09 (nineteen years ago)

also statements and entertainment are not mutually exclusive, even when only one is intended.

both, really.

i don't know why a lot of the people who will freely admit to loving, i dunno, britney spears or kylie minogue on both a superficial look-at-those-beats-and-her-tits level AND a 'deeper' emotional level, find doing this with paris so hard. the point of poptimism surely being that both superficial appreciation and emotional appreciation can co-exist at the same time for the same record and both are equally valid.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 11:13 (nineteen years ago)

alex t really really otm as ever, of course.

i mean, duh, of course the paris hilton album is entertainment. she is who she is. and of course it's a statement as well, by virtue of its having these lyrics and having that music and having this artwork. this seems self-evident to me. i think it succeeds as both.
