It’s not the comeback of the century, but it’s just okay.

Listen to Gimme More.

Gimme More by Britney Spears
Lyrics

(It’s Britney, bitch)
(I see you, and I just wanna dance with you)

Everytime they turn the lights down
Just wanna go that extra mile for you
Public display of affection
Feel’s like no one else in the room (The room)

We can get down like there’s no one around
We’ll keep on rockin’ (We’ll keep on rockin’)
We’ll keep on rockin’ (Keep on rockin’)

Cameras are flashing my way dirty dancing
They keep watchin’ (They keep watchin’)
Keep watchin
Feel’s like the crowd is saying

[CHORUS]
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more

Center of attention (‘tention)
Even when they’re up against the wall
You got me in a crazy position (Yeah)
If you’re on a mission (Uh-uh)
You got my permission (Oh)

We can get down like there’s no one around
We’ll keep on rockin’ (Keep on rockin’)
We’ll keep on rockin’, rockin’ (Uh-uh)

Cameras are flashing my way dirty dancing
They keep watchin’ (Wait)
Keep watchin
(Feel’s like the crowd is saying)

[CHORUS]
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more

Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more

(I just can’t control myself, oh)
(They want more? Well I’ll give ‘em more, oh!)

[CHORUS]
Gimme gimme more
Gimme more
Gimme gimme more (Gimme more)
Gimme gimme more
Gimme (Uh)
Gimme gimme more (Ooh)

And the unstoppable Danja
Ha, you gonna have to remove me
Cause I ain’t goin’ no where, haha
(More)

I expressed my tendency to yack over crap like this over at my new celebrity blog, Tragicomical, yesterday.

Here, you can see Amy Winehouse and her hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, sharing a smooch in the Caribbean, recently.

It still makes me want to vomit. I wish she’d get better already, so we don’t have to look at this crap.

Apparently, she is bailing on the MTV VMAs. I don’t really care for her music, so to me, this is a non-event. I like Lily Allen a lot better, and that’s not saying much.

The famous slacker, Kevin Federline, is asking to have Britney front his attorney’s fees. God only knows the depths at which this loser will sink.

Spears is “clearly the ‘monied party’” in the dispute and should pay $50,000 for Federline’s litigation expenses, Kaplan argued.

Of course she is, retard! Why do you think he married her? Duh!

See a resemblance? I didn’t think so. So, ignore those reports flying around that Sean Kingston landed the role to play the slain rapper in the movie based on his life.

If your mug looks like Biggie’s, upload your photo to BiggieCasting and take your shot at fame!

According to reports, Britney Spears had the chance to snatch up “Umbrella” before Rihanna was offered the smash hit single. Rihanna loved it, but was told it was on hold for Britney. Apparently Britney’s people never called back.

Go Rihanna, you were the best choice for that song, anways.

Britney, if you keep ignoring hits, you’re gonna be a has-been.

I guess Bret really wanted to know how average or (and I quote) “above” average his junk is.

He measured it. Hmmm….sounds very adolescent to me. I just got to wonder, does he have a name for it, too?

As I was watching his show, Rock of Love for the very first time (last night), I can’t believe that all those chicks are really trying so hard to get with him. Ladies, wake up, the 80′s called and they want their rock icon back.

The frenzy over Poison and Bret Michaels has died down, because…..(wait for it)…they haven’t done JACK.

Here’s a shot from the 80′s so that you can remember how cool they were:

Slayer guitarrist, Kerry King, has a nice collection of snakes, actually.

I found this out from Blabbermouth, who linked to Blender’s snake filled video of the metal god.

Enjoy!

Ha. Just earlier today, I wrote the Eff Billy Corgan post and to read this! Hahaha

Reznor says:

“I was never a big SMASHING PUMPKINS fan back when they were the PUMPKINS, not to shit on Billy or anything but I don’t hear anything that would make me want to care. I think trying to resurrect the name SMASHING PUMPKINS… it’s all a bit corporate for me.”

Yes, I have an opinion on everything. When the Smashing Pumpkins singer made a comment that American girls are sluts, my ears perked up. We are?

Eff Bill Corgan, keep your crappy “1979″ song in the U.K. You used to be popular, but now, not so much.

Halfway through the band’s set, he caught sight of a woman in a skimpy outfit – to which he said, “There’s something about a girl who’s willing to take her top off so quickly.”

He told the crowd, “American girls are sluts too.

“See – isn’t it great to be alternative – you can say all those things.”

I would never take my top off at a concert, so there! Putz!

What’s next for Blake Lewis, you ask?

The American Idol runner up has inked a record deal with Arista. Apparently, they must think he has some marketable talent:

“Blake has a strong music sensibility and knows who he is and what his music should represent,” said Clive Davis, chairman and CEO of BMG Label Group, Arista’s parent. “His collaborators are all knocked out by him.”

I didn’t care for his version of “This is my now”, but maybe he did crappy on that so that he wouldn’t have to have that crap song on his new album.

Good lord, I know that Britney Spears has done some crazy stuff. She married Kevin Federline, for example, and all the way to shaving her head, these things are really standing out against her.

I would never suggest that Britney be awarded Mother of the Year or anything, but her every move is subject to public scrutiny. Anytime she steps out of the house, the photographers are there, trying to earn their dollar.

Can you imagine what that has to be like? If you go to the store to pick up a pack of gum, they want to take your picture. If you want to go out for dinner, guess who’s there? If you’re out with your children, the time and the location of where you take them are up for criticism.

I wouldn’t trade the privacy that I have as a regular citizen for that life.

Just recently, the SPCA was called to ensure that Britney was properly caring for her dog, London. If I had a dog and it’s leg got broken, I don’t imagine anyone would think fowl play was involved. I would say that we all need to let up on Britney and let her go away for a little bit.

She’s overexposed right now.

If you haven’t heard yet, then hear it now. Britney Spears is trying for a comeback. Her new song, “Baby Boy” was just released to the public via Ryan Seacrest’s page. Have a listen for yourself. I’m not sure if this is comeback material, really, but it’s an effort. This song has a slow and melodic feel to it.

Lyrics:

Baby Boy by Britney Spears

Everyday
I’m in a daze
Looking for that someone

Everyday
I sit and kneel, and pray
Oh sweet love, can I get some

So why do you desert me
Baby boy
I need your love
Right now

And if you desert me
Baby boy
Don’t you leave me
In your crowd yeah yeah yeah

Spoken:
“Hey baby, what time you gonna get home?
Oh really?
(Sigh) Alright, well, I’ll see you later then
Oh wait, Would you mind getting some..?
Yeah, when you come home
Right, that’s it…
I love you too
Bye”

Ooooh oooooh ooooh

Ooooh oooooh ooooh ooooooooooooh

Someday
When you see my face
You will think
That you have won

And Someday
When it’s all away
I have just begun

So why did you desert me
Baby boy
I thought that you, You were the one

So if you prefer the other one
She won’t bring you the sun

If it’s goth music that you’re looking for, then look no further. Have a good long listen to Tristania.

The male and female vocals on their tracks really mesh well and intertwine ever so nicely. The backing female vocals on the track, “World of glass” are mesmerizing and ethereal.

The male vocalist, Anders Høyvik Hidle, really rocks out on the songs, too.

I’m digging this particular genre of music a lot lately. The only thing this band is really missing is the sound of the toy pianos, ala Emilie Autumn.

I’m loving the new CD by ATB, titled “Trilogy”. This is techno/trance music that really flows from track to track.

If you haven’t heard this yet, then you really don’t know what you’re missing. This is a great piece of work.

Check out Andre’s myspace page to have a listen for yourself. My favorite track of the ones listed is, “Beautiful Worlds”. A close second would be “Ecstacy”.

What a great mix of fast and slow melodic techno music. Kudos to ATB for pulling it off so nicely!

Here’s my Sarah Jezebel Deva story. For those of you who don’t know who she is, she’s one of the singers in the death metal band, Cradle of Filth. I really respect Sarah’s talent and kindness, so I will shed light on what happened in our non-interview.

This was totally my fault and I see this now.

Firstly, I will say that I emailed Miss Deva on myspace with no intention on gaining a response. I was wrong. She responded back to my inquiry rather quickly, to my delight.

My inquiry was just this:

Hello, I am a big fan of your music and was wondering if you could make time for a short, ten question interview. That would be so awesome and it would give your fans more information about your music and your inspirations. I’ve been listening to you while you were a part of Cradle of Filth and think you have the most amazing voice.

Please let me know what you think? If you are too busy to respond, then I completely understand. My website is for the fans, basically, so I’m sure they’d love to hear from someone with such amazing talent.

She responded that she’d be delighted to do just that. I asked if we could do a conversational interview, with us going back and forth with questions and answers so that it would flow easier, to which she responded that she’d do it however I wanted.

Apparently, the questions that I sent were lost in the gaping hole that is myspace, because when I emailed her to see if she had changed her mind, she replied that nothing was received.

Hmmm… So, I pondered. I again complemented her voice and talent and asked my question again. Still nothing. Myspace sucks sometimes.

With all of the email exchanges, you would think that I would’ve gotten one question answered. No, this is not the case. She was a great sport about the whole thing, still saying that she never received anything from me.

In short, if you wish to interview someone, have the questions prepared to send with the initial request. The artist can then decide if they wish to respond, and do so, in one short email.

Apparently, Britney Spears has backed out of a duet that was supposed to happen with Justin Timberlake. This event was said to be the start of her comeback.

In these past few years, we have seen Britney go from adorable arm candy to Justin Timberlake and former Mouseketeer, to a rich white trash divorcee, who drinks like a fish and doesn’t seem to know how to take care of her children.

More about the proposed duet:

JT wrote the song specifically for Brit, and that her label was counting on the tune to jump start a big comeback for the Britwreck. But last month, just before she was supposed to fly out to record the song, Brit “abruptly canceled the session.” A music “insider” tells the Post, “Everyone is worried … People like her are sick. It’s like an anorexic who’s sick in the head and needs help.”

I think she’s worried that she can’t sing anymore.

I really liked “Smile” and “Alfie” from the British singer, Lily Allen. She has since overstayed her welcome, literally.

Having her U.S. visa revoked, then stating that she won’t ever come back to America, Lily Allen also felt the need to slam George Bush and women’s magazine editors:

“This next one is about people who are awkward on the train, U.S. immigration officials and George Bush in general.” Contactmusic quoted Allen, as saying.,

“Who else can f**k off? People who edit fashion magazines… that makes us ladies feel awful. We’re all beautiful – it’s the heroin addict models who’ve got the problem,” she added.

Hate it here so much, stay out then. I don’t agree with George Bush either, but if you don’t like it, don’t come here. Over and out.

You know, I still can’t get this song out of my head. So, I’ve decided to post the lyrics to it. Enjoy!

La da da da

The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You’re probably on your flight back to your hometown
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
Be with myself in center, clarity
Peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It’s personal, myself and I
We’ve got some straightening out to do
And I’m gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I’ve gotta get a move on with my life
It’s time to be a big girl now
And big girls don’t cry
Don’t cry
Don’t cry
Don’t cry

The path that I’m walking, I must go alone
I must take the baby steps till I’m full grown,full grown
Fairy tales don’t always have a happy ending do they
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It’s personal, myself and I
We’ve got some straightening out to do
And I’m gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket

But I’ve gotta move on with my life
It’s time to be a big girl now
And big girls don’t cry

Like a little school mate in the school yard
We’ll play jacks and Uno cards
I’ll be your best friend and you’ll be my
valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
’cause I wanna hold yours too
We’ll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it’s time for me to go home
It’s getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself in center, clarity
Peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It’s personal, myself and I
We’ve got some straightening out to do
And I’m gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I’ve gotta get a move on with my life
It’s time to be a big girl now
And big girls don’t cry
Don’t cry
Don’t cry
Don’t cry

La da da da da da

I don’t know whether or not treatment centers and places like that can be compelled to testify, but I feel that this is just wrong. If Britney really went to Promises to get herself treatment for her alcohol/whatever abuse, then those records should be sealed, if you ask me:

California’s Promises Treatment Center – which the singer entered in February for a month – was allegedly served with a subpoena on Saturday morning.

A spokesperson from Promises refused to discuss developments, saying, “This is a confidential facility and we cannot comment.”

Good for them. I’m not in agreement with Britney’s mothering techniques, by any means, but the facility should remain personal and confidential, and definitely not subject to public ridicule or scrutiny.

Here, is “Cherry Pie”, the song made famous in the 80′s by the hair band, Warrant:

I used to love this song, as with any of the 80′s hair bands. This isn’t my favorite by Warrant, though. That was definitely “Down Boys”.

Now, here’s Jani doing a new rendition of the famous song:

What do you think? Has his voice changed all that much?

If you haven’t yet, then you should. This combination of gothic rock and new wave electronica is awesome.

The band’s singer, Victoria Mazzè, has an ethereal voice and it’s haunting and echoing sounds are what makes for a really rockin’ goth act. Check out The Divine Madness‘ myspace page for more information.

Trust me, if you like goth music, then you’re going to eat these guys up.

I’ll be interested in seeing what the future holds for this group. They’re awesome!

Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx has had enough of fans throwing stuff at their lead singer. This time, a fan threw a bottle of urine at lead singer, Vince Neil:

Sixx stopped the concert and asked the audience to point out the person who threw the bottle, then arranged for security to allow the fan backstage, where he dished out his own justice.

He punched the guy! I would, too! That is the most disgusting thing to do while at a concert. Why on earth would you go to a concert and throw urine at the singer?!?? If you don’t like the music, then don’t go. Easy enough.

Lily Allen was forced to postpone her U.S. tour due to her visa being revoked recently:

Her tour was due to begin in San Diego on 6 September but a record company spokesman said reinstating the visa was “taking longer than anticipated”.

The visa was cancelled after Allen flew into Los Angeles and was questioned over an assault in London.

I call BS on this one!

Earlier this year, Allen postponed a string of other dates in the US saying she was “bored” and wanted to concentrate on her second album.

We can ban Lily forever for all I care, but her music can stay.
