The July Burn

Summatime, summatime, summatime!

Now that it's finally here, it's time to enjoy some tunage to go along with your sassy patio cocktails and BBQ's!

I hope you'll enjoy this collection of feel good tracks and as always, there's a little obscurity tossed in for your health.

Included in this month's playlist are two tracks from the uber-sensational La Roux who is making some serious waves from across the way.
I found a Chateau Marmont remix of the first single, Quicksand. The second track is one of my favourites from the CD. Bulletproof has all the best components of new wave retro and europop! I hope you'll enjoy.

If you've been to J*O*E*'s lately (and if you haven't, then why the hell not?), you'll have had the insight to scoop up some hot tracks from his latest playlist. Two of them appear here, but with different remixes.

The Gossip's latest Heavy Cross, from Music For Men gets a workover by Fred Falke and it totally Falk-es up the senses! I also found a hot remix of This Boy's In Love by The Presets, and this boy is in love.

Here's the playlist and as always, if you hear something you like, please support these artists by purchasing their music!

SO Original!!

These pictures from the next issue of V magazine are so incredibly original! I've never seen anything like them! NO ONE in the world has ever seen a photograph like any of these!

Nope, not a single one reminds me of any set or series of photographs ever taken in modern history.

Gosh, that Lady Gaga is so special!

I'm clearly kidding.

That Ain't So Strong

Whitney's new single leaked early on the web and music blogs everywhere went a little bonkers.

I Didn't Know My Own Strength is now available quite literally, anywhere, and the crying shame of it all, is that the single is not that strong. It's a very Classic Whitney Ballad meets Idol Winner's Song. I think that a remix might make it slightly enjoyable, but that's going to have to be one motherfucker of a remix.

Despite the weak lead-off single -- which seems to be the norm these days -- one has to agree that it's nice to hear a new vocal from a healthy diva. Rather than rush back into the spotlight like some other comeback kids, ...whose names I'll just Blackout here...Whitney's peeps are taking their time. Could it be that I Look To You will be the comeback of the decade?

With delay after delay, growing hype and a leaked Grammy party performance, the anticipation kept building and so did the expectation.

I wanted to hear something that flung the diva back into the limelight, much like Emancipation of Mimi did for Mariah Carey. Let's face it: as tired as Mariah is, the Emancipation CD lifted her out of the Glitter-ing ditch that she was in and made people forget that she went totally batshit crazy.

I wanted that for Whitney. Imagine, an only so-so comeback single being called I Didn't Know My Own Strength. Ya gotta love irony.

Gay Cheque: Face Value

Independence Day Holiday Weekend

Wishing all my American cousins a fantastic holiday weekend!
Play safe!

Covergirl!

I'm not really sure what's going on in the business of show, but someone must stop the carnage!

Celebrities of all ages and status (stati?) are dropping like the cast of Dynasty at Amanda Carrington's wedding!

WTF is going on?

I would hate to be Patrick Swayze right now. His painful, and very public, battle with cancer is a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. What might be just as bad is that the tabloid hounds are watching him like a pack of vultures! His name is on every editor's lips as the "next one to go." Poor thing.

Every day without a report of his death equals an article about the fact that The Beast won't be picked up for a second season. A fate worse than death? Not for Swayze, I'll bet. Imagine trying to get through every day knowing that somewhere, teams of editors and writers are planning for your death issue. It's downright creepy.

And while I do write Peace Out posts, they're a tribute to the deceased. Tabloids want someone to kick so they can make money. I make no money. Distinction made.

I blame People Magazine's editor Larry Hackett and that teen witch Melissa Joan Hart. Larry Hackett told the New York Times, “We’re also on Farrah watch .... At this point Farrah has to die. It’s the only cover left for her.” This led Hart to say that she hoped Farrah didn't die so she wouldn't get bumped from her cover.

Oh. Hell. No.

She has since apologized, but it may be too late. Larry and Melissa may have conjured up the perfect storm in the cosmos and now no one's precious cover is safe.

So, even though US Weekly proclaims that celebrities are "Just Like Us!", they really aren't. No one is writing about my "big night out" or going through my trash. No one is covering my weight loss or gain, or planning my "death cover."

And quite frankly, if the value of the ins and outs of life comes down to how many issues you can sell, then I want nothing to do with it.

Peace Out

Welcome Wagon

It's time to drink up and drown!

The Lisp welcomes it's 55th follower this week, Bigg.

Bigg is still standin' so Miguel here is has a Cabernet Sauvignon to help you have a seat.

I'm Burning Up!

So it's now July and I haven't even begun to think about The July Burn.

There's a part of me that thinks I should dedicate a Burn to MJ, but is that something that y'all want?

August is pretty much done. It's going to Madonna month because her birthday falls on August 16th.

Leave your thoughts in the comments. Do you want an MJ post or are you over it? Do you want some nice current summa-time tunes? Lemme know....
