Foreign Fridays

Being a big fan of blue-eyed soul, this weeks Foreign Friday is Lylit. According to her Facebook profile she is "Blonde-haired. Blue-eyed. Statuesque physique. Foreign pedigree."  Hailing from Austria, Lylit is filling my open position of new blue-eyed soul obsession.  A position once held by Adele, Duffy, Amy Winehouse, Robin Thicke, and Jon B.  I have only heard new single, The Plan, which is available on iTunes now as a discovery download, but I am anticipating great things from this 25 year old stunner. Get to know Lylit above.

Let's Have A Toast

It's Thursday again, so I am obligated to discuss the Hot 100 billboard chart.  Number one for the second week in a row is Far East Movement's Like A G6. I'm not surprised at all by this, or that Rihanna is number three this week with Only Girl(In The World).  Only Girl is a total club banger; I certainly let loose when it came on.  I am surprised that Pink's Raise Your Glass is already number ten. Not because the song isn't good, which it is, just because in past years it has taken America a little bit longer to figure out how impressive Pink is.  And with all the fuss over Fuck You, sorry kids, Cee Lo Green's kiss off song has only peaked at number seventeen.  This is stupid to me, because not only is the song funny, it is a great song.

Over on the Hot 200 the only album I care about is Kings of Leon's Come Around Sundown.  I still haven't got the chance to listen to their new album yet, but I will and I hope to give it a great review.  Their last albums have blown me away, and they sound incredible live.  Well, they debut at number two this week, right behind Sugarland's The Incredible Machine.  I can't say I am a huge Sugarland fan, but I do like some of their songs.  I think both deserve to debut so high on the charts. Kudos to KOL for their highest sales week and chart peak to date.  If you haven't seen them live, get your tickets as soon as they go on sale.  That is if you like that sort of thing.

Rally To Restore Sanity/Fear

Saturday is/are the big rally/rallies with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and of course The Roots are the backing band.  Questlove, drummer for The Roots, said so himself on his twitter earlier today.  I have never had to pay to see The Roots in DC cause they are always here for some outdoor festival of some sort.  I have paid to see Questlove dj at the 9:30 Club, so I think it balances out.

I am still trying to decide if I am going to go or not.  It sounds like it will be fun, but I don't know if it is worth the lack of sleep before I go to work that night.  The schedule was just leaked, and there will be several musical 'special guest' so I might have to suck it up and go.  With all the hype about the rally/rallies I don't think I can afford to be lazy.  I don't want to miss the biggest event of the year.

Rocky Horror Glee Show

First of all John Stamos is a sexy son of a gun, and I would have loved to see him as Frankfurter. Perez Hilton actually got a recording of him singing one of Frankfurter's songs, and it was pretty good.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of my favorite movies of all time so I am not going to hold any punches when it comes to critiquing this episode of Glee.

Fine Wine School(cause old school sounds insulting)

No one has a voice like Ms. Patti, aka Patti Labelle.  Two of my favorite songs of all time are by the glamorous one herself.  If I could carry a tune, I would sing this song at every Karaoke event I could.  I would still have stage fright so I probably wouldn't do that actually, but you get what I mean.

When I met her a couple of years ago, I was so nervous she was looking at me like I had half a face or something.  No offense to her, but with all the make up she had on, she looked like she had had a stroke recently.  It didn't matter cause she put on a hell of a show, stroke or no stroke.

If you haven't heard If You Only Knew, get schooled above.

Because It's Kanye

I watched this video, not necessarily because I had been anticipating it, but because its just one of those things you feel like you have to do. Like watching Double Rainbow or Chocolate Rain.

One day I hope to be able to make a forty minute music video/movie just because I can. Most people who get to this status have proved that they are more than just a singer/rapper, they are entertainers. I think Kanye has proven that. So I have to ask, are you not entertained?

My Heart

There is no one who lights my fire like this man.  One of my friends told me that he feels bad for guys who like me because I will never love them as much as I love my husband JT.  I did not deny or disagree with his comment.  It is sad but true. Anyone who knows me knows I am Mrs. Timberlake. I can go on forever about the magnificence that is Justin Randall Timberlake, but I will save that for another day. For now enjoy some of his brilliance above.
