Music: October 2006 Archives

And without spending a dime? I am here for you. So is AOL, which has the disc available for streaming.

Update: After a quick listen, it's not all that bad. The boy can rap.

Expectations are very, very low, and he easily exceeds them. Now, I 'm no rap expert or aficionado, but it's just not that bad -- and while the whole "I'm K-Fed, the paparazzi follow my ass all over, my family this ... Britney that" thing is ever-present, it at least provides some kind of context. After all, the wattage of celebrity in our current media culture is higher than ever. So why not play off of that -- especially if you can't leave your Malibu compound without a hundred paparazzi following you?

With all the entertainment he's brought us in the form of white-trash tabloid fodder, K-Fed deserves our music-listening attention, at least for a moment. Do a brother a solid.

Further update: And it's not a "bitches/ho's"-fest" -- I didn't get the feeling that K-Fed has a total lack of respect for women, like many a rapper.

Asylum Street Spankers are taking the political gloves off with their rip at those who claim to support our troops by doing nothing more than plastering a magnetic ribbon on their automobiles. "Stick Magnetic Ribbons on Your SUV," sung to the tune of "Tie a Yellow Ribbon," chides the hollow attempt at unified support of the armed forces while they are begging for properly armored vehicles and protective vests. If you think we should stay the course in Iraq, this could compel you to change your tune.
