Britney Spears - Blackout

But break the ice says to be continued so I figure it must be animated again.

Ugh, you're right. But considering how poorly "Break The Ice" did, maybe it'll never be continued.

I thought it was brilliantly wrong for a Britney single! It didn't seem like something a pop star of her profile would do, and it was great how it revealed they couldn't even get her to do a music video anymore after the comedy of Piece of Me, where you could see ever bit of erraticism dramatized by her rising and falling hair style in the bathroom dance.

OHMYGOD. This is such an amazing album, I'm so disturbed by how good it is. Its fucking brilliance.
Break The Ice (shoulda done waay better), Heaven On Earth, Radar, Get Naked, Why Should I Be Sad? (FUCKING GENIUS), Ooh Baby....all hype
Piece Of Me and Gimme More are rubbish and imply the album is also more electro crap but really its electro magnificence.
Hypehypehype.
Radar is fantastic but srsly she needs to bring out something more along the vein of Break The Ice like Heaven On Earth/Get Naked/Why Should I Be Sad as they are far edgier than peoples would expect. Even Toy Soldier is decent!

Or, to put it another way:

(map) Death by fire. This like that magnificent album, I' Is; m so like the good thing and from first until end is it to disturb. Criticizes it luminous intensity. The sky will dawn in the ice (shoulda getanes waay more recovered,), endurance and the radar why will cut off and will carry and (sul) will be a (phu) and? (BUMSENDES geniuses), Ooh babies….Secret intention all exaggeration piece and Gimme little more the electric compost which is a waste and also an album but with realness it electricity interprets in place which is great. Hypehypehype. The radar in endurance like sky and according to the vein of the gap in order for the people to forecast for they far selfish because more of the nerve why goes out fantastisch where do sadly, brings little more srsly it silences do to do but at the outside, or maintains the ice dawns. Spielzeug-Soldat tidal range acceptance is possible! where

Seriously, this album is brilliant. Gimme More is actually brilliant, but you don't realize it because as I've said before, this is an album in the real old-fashioned way. Which is odd, the whole thing hangs together in a way that's more than the sum of its dazzling parts. I can think of few albums in recent times that have been such a full frontal attack of greatness!

"full frontal attack of greatness" - are you Heart FM's Jamie Theakston?

yes

the answer is (b) Amy Winehouse.

?

:D still listenin

i just told my boyfriend, "we can give em an encore - make it a freakshow" is like my life story.

Is there something you'd like to talk about Ramzi?

Break the Ice is even better!

I can really hear Robyn in the background of POM!

does anyone else always hear the sound effect from the beginning as a chicken? and how weird is that?

(of piece of me)

i get it, and it's always weird

!

I mean, who's idea was it? Every time I wonder.

what's running through my head is you
up in my face

ok, pussycat dolls "when i grow" up> most of this album

STFU THAT IS TOTAL BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND STOP ACTING THE PLEB

Sacrilege. Ban.

Seriously, these songs are so rich harmonically.

Diamanda Galás on Britney:

"What about Britney, then?
Oh, I’ll always love Britney. My ex-boyfriend used to work with her. He was a mastering engineer and he worked with her back when she first came out. The reason I love Britney Spears -- I don’t know if it’s Britney I love, I’m not really sure -- but the reason I love her voice so much is that it’s not really human. I know a lot about electronic music -- you have a very small vocal signal which is interfaced with a lot of signal processing stuff to tune it -- because she sings out of tune. So you have harmonizers and these different signal processing instruments and by the time they get through with it all the voice is not human. It sounds like a cockroach. And I love that sound because it’s so unique. So it sounds like -- [tries to imitate Britney’s voice for a second or two]. I can’t do it, but it’s such a funny little sound that I like it. One of my favorite science fiction films is a film called Squirm and it’s kind of the revenge of the radioactive worms in the South -- I don’t know where in the South, it could be Alabama. So they took these worms that they had and put through electroshock. They’d put water on them and they shocked them -- and they got the sound of them. It’s horrifying. And they interfaced that with some really sleazy analog synthesizers. I like Britney for all the wrong reasons -- I like her because there’s a total pedophilic worshipping station there but it sounds like radioactive worms! It doesn’t sound like anything else. For example -- the singers who want to sing like Whitney -- they all sound the same. They sound like Whitney -- and Whitney still sounds better than all of them, especially when she’s on crack. She still sounds better. But that’s me -- I just have a perverted sensibility of voices for my own reasons. I don’t like to be bored."

Does she not know how to say Autotune?

where's that diamanda quote from? i love reading her interviews.

the tutor played 'when i grow up' at hip-hop dance class yesterday, it was banging. I WANNA SEE THE WORLD, DRIVE NICE CARS, I WANNA HAVE GROUPIES

how can anyone say they are not feminists

here baby

awez, cheers

haha she is endlessly quotable. she's otm about e john being a "dreadful, dreadful, horrible little midget corpse". and!

"People can go and do their fucking yoga and all that shit but speed is speed. So, instead of doing a double fucking fuck on people that take speed and saying, “You deserve to get the fucking AIDS virus because you’re a fucking asshole who’s still taking drugs,” why don’t they do something intelligent and mix a cocktail of speed and prophylactic antivirals?"

"double fucking fuck"!!!!

Yeah, that's all so great. So wonderful.

Nick's in a bad mood.

nick's like 45, he always is!

i mean spiritually

hahahaha

Double fucking fuck.

You wish.

Maybe I should listen to one of my Diamanda Galas LPs. I fear they would seem pretty corny now though, compared to when I would read Re/Search books and "Apocalypse Culture" and all that.

I'm pretty sure the last one was only recorded in a matter of a few weeks (or a week's worth of days over the course of a topsy turvy month) so I hope that it'll hold up!

help me up

the Outsyders......????

ooooh SO SOON!
