...Spears other than that the girl doesn’t know when to give up. Hot on the heels of her half-assed, half-clothed Video Music Awards performance, the recently-dubbed “Unfitney” has given us an epic, four-minute display of how the pop music industry systematically ravages and eats its young. And people wonder why she’s taking parenting classes. Nothing in “Gimme More” seems either necessary or desirable. The footage looks less like a final cut than something K-Fed chopped up in iMovie while...
Kylie’s getting old. Not just regular old: Madonna old. In her prime, Kylie Minogue brought composition and color to her music videos at a time when most middle-of-the-road pop artists thought sex appeal just meant humping the camera. However, for the first single off her tenth studio album, “X,” Kylie seems to be merely going through the motions, and barely even that. Nothing happens in the video, except for her singing atop a black piano and then a black stage. Actually, there?...
...time Neko has appeared in a New Pornographers video since their first album (Newman has even said they sometimes forget she’s a part of the band), so it’s nice to see her return to the spotlight. Though mellower fare than their usual power-pop, the song is gorgeous, which compensates for the video’s slightly creepy couple and lack of action. Plus, the old-movie production touches (scratched lens, frames with fuzzy black edges) are interesting enough. Still, it’s hard not to long for their drum-heavy days...
...with his trademark wit, he terminates them with all the passion of a Xerox user manual.“The Gum Thief” may have been Coupland’s play for postmodern literary power, an ill-conceived appeal to critics to see him as more than a pop-culture reference point. It may never have occurred to him that “JPod” confirmed his place as one of literature’s most cherished living satirists. While it is generally laudable for an artist to broaden their scope as their career matures, Coupland would...
...Ween’s traditional biting high school humor. One of the biggest problems with “La Cucaracha” is its lack of any continuity whatsoever. “La Cucaracha” experiments with something different on every song, switching not-so-seamlessly between airy pop, reggae, progressive rock, techno, and even country. “Fiesta,” the opening track, blasts listeners with squealing horns and an upbeat, south-of-the-border feel that offers a false promise of good things to come. The next track, “Blue Balloon...
