Usually my attention has the life span of a Twinkie laying on a table between Rosanne Barr and Rosie O’donnell, hence the title of my blog “Gallologic the Home of Rambling Thought” not “the Home of Clear Focused Thought”. But today something is holding my interest. After my “work” today I went out…no the truth is I rushed out to my car, shifted it into light speed and drove to the nearest haberdashery (yes I know that is a clothing store but I really have been wanting to use that word). What was the rush?- you may ask, or maybe you wont, either way I don’t care…
Today was the public release of Britney’s second comeback CD. You may scratch your head in wonder, how can a man my age really enjoy her music. “He must be just one of the gazillions of aging perverts that look fondly back to the days when her videos primarily focused on her in a school girls uniform gyrating center stage surrounded by the flyest back-up dancers (and a gay male dancer or two). Yes I may be part pervert but I really do love her music, I put her at number five of my favs just below Ozzy, Eminem, Kiss, and Run DMC. This newest release just makes it easier to love her. I have read reviews that claim there is an over indulgence of synthesized vocals and compared the music to candy-coated paint by numbers. (read the uneducated trashing by a jealous no-talent hack here http://www.canada.com/topics/entertainment/story.html?id=1022191). By now it’s probably apparent that I would disagree with the negative reviews. I would agree with one thing however. There is a lot of similarity with this CD and last years Blackout while at the same time harkens back to some of the best 80s pop (a la Debbie Gibson).
Many of the tracks have messages for family (my baby), fans, one for the most lowest class of society the paparazzi (Circus track 2) and according to one reviewer one for us perverts (If U Seek Amy). There are two versions, one standard and on with a DVD bonus disk. I of course sprung for the deluxe version. For me this will be in tray one of my car’s CD changer for the next few weeks, I may be the minority but if you dare to be different join me and get a copy of Circus, because the only way your getting mine is to steal it.
