#5 - it won't be soon before long - Maroon 5 - a band I would NEVER EVER EVER listen to until one day steve bought this at starbucks and slipped it in the car cd player. I was shocked to say the least. I love his whiney voice and this is the only kind of guitar pop I can stand: Dancey! odd then that The best track is the rather slow "I won't go home without you"


#4 - the light at the end of the world - Erasure
I'm giving this #4 based soley on the lead single "I could fall in love with you" which is easily one of erasure's finest moments. I was not really a fan of the rest of the album, sadly. Mizz Burns will disagree loudly. it's no "nightbird", it's not even an "erasure". so there.


3. X -Kylie
While no where near the quality of the many leaked tracks (including a couple produced by the likes of Mylo and the Scissor sisters), "X" contains some excellent kylie tracks like "wow", "in my arms" and the single "2 hearts". also, the b-side "king or queen" is a favorite.


2. Trip the light Fantastic - Sophie Ellis Bextor
Madamoiselle E. B returns with 3 fantastic singles and a slew of killer remixes. "catch you", "me & my imagination" and "today the sun's on us" are stellar, but it's the non-single "if i can't dance" that has recieved the most play in my car. Clap Clap.


1. Mantaray - Siouxsie
I have gushed about the return of Siouxsie to no end already. It took a few listens to get used to the new voice, but it eventually grabbed me. highpoints are "if it doesn't kill you", "heaven and alchemy" and "here comes that day".

out in Iowa with Scootie, Jessica, Kelby & Jen. We were at a VFW. Beat that, you Bitches!

Bree took me to see Dina Martina's Xmas show on the 26th. I have known of her for years but never caught her show until this year. Madness! I will be going to see her whenever I can. Amazing! Her Smiths Christmas Medley blew me away. Hilarious~!

Here's to a Much better 2008.

My favorite Happy New Year Song( the one by Abba, hello?):

Let me say I love Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. So why did I hate this movie? The visuals were typical Burton and quite stunning. Too Much singing? I didn't care at all about "Mr T" getting his revenge. By the end of the movie I hated him. Mizz Carter was the most enjoyable, and seeing Borat and professor Snape get their throats slashed ( repeatedly ) was nice as well.

But I say Skip it. Rent it if you must. on 99 cent day.

Sarah brightman returns in January with "Symphony" and it appears to feature a duet with kiss' Paul Stanley. wtf? Then again, she did a duet with Tom Jones that was suprisingly awesome so I'm sure the whole thing will completely RULE but sell nowhere near as many copies as all the complete shit that is popular in the US.
I'm mean, classical crossover Diva or shitney spears? Bitch, Please.

if ye be celebratin', I hope it be nice. I'm at my sister's in inver grove heights, MN with my whole family. back in Seattle tomorrow.

cheers!

EARTHA KITT ORIGINAL ( the best )( with the added bonus of spliced in trannies!)


MADDONA'S VERSION ( 2nd best )


RUPAUL'S VERSION ( actually quite excellent )


KYLIE MINOGUE'S VERSION ( I love me some Kylie, but very EH! )


meh.

this is probabbly my favorite Xmas song of all time and probably because even when he was straight, george michael was the gayesy of all gays that ever lived in gayland. I hear some dancey cover of this today by Cascada and was offended to my very bones. Sacrelige!

I don't have anything profound to say but wanted to share this Annie Lennox version of Cole Porter's "every time we say goodbye" and a little story.

It was 1992 and had bought the Tribute cd with the song on it the day before I saw my Friend Aaron in the hospital. I asked him if he had heard the song and he said he had heard it and found it fitting for his life at the time. We played a game of chess and he kicked my ass as he had for the last year and then We made a date to play pictionary the next day. I hugged him goodbye and went off to class.

He died peacefully in his sleep that night after a long battle with AIDS. He was the first person I Knew in a long sad list of Friends that I loved and miss dearly.
