Lighter fare

I hate how Disney trivia games always include, like, eighty questions about The Great Mouse Detective. Has anyone seen this movie?

Is Kelly Clarkson only playing shows in New York? Christ, woman, there are forty-nine other states. And perhaps Canada would appreciate a visit. I know, if I were Canada, that would be the truth. Thank god I have tickets to two other sure-to-be-amazing shows, just in case Kelly lets me down again.

"Throw It All Away" is the song playing when George and Meredith have the disastrous sex. Ew! Christ. God, remember how that went nowhere? Just like George and Izzie's disastrous sex should have? Damn you, Grey's Anatomy.

Should I buy the new Rilo Kiley album? I read somewhere on the internet that it was like "70s porn r&b as imagined by indie rock hipsters" or something (apologies to the person I stole that from--for stealing it and probably mangling it), and there was definitely one iTunes clip I heard that fit that description. However! Is that bad? I can't decide. That's what it was. "Breakin' Up" is the 70s porn music, and I gave it up when Jenny Lewis sang, "Is there trouble between you and I?" Oh, me and pronouns...

Here's a thing: when white people sing in Spanish, they over-enunciate. Not that my pronunciation is ever perfect, but I also don't try to sing in Spanish. So there. That, for some reason, reminded me of crazy Diana Ross telling some American Idol kid (Gina?) to make sure she pronunciated the lyrics to her song. That was fun.

Just because I haven't talked about her yet, here's another picture of Brandi Carlile wearing a Red Sox hat. This one Jess took! At the concert I didn't get to go to, because I wasn't stalking properly, and I didn't know about it, and I had to work all night. It's the same hat from that other picture (which is from last September), so perhaps she actually does enjoy the Red Sox. Or she just really likes making her Boston fans happy. I'm okay with either of those possibilities. I think this girl is my only blog topic that gets pictures. Damn you for being so pretty, Carlile. Oh, and how short is my memory? The third thing I talked about was her song being on Grey's Anatomy. Whaaaatever.

Okay, seriously, this girl is coming to Boston on October 5, and I'm just, like, living for that day alone. Nothing in between now and then matters. I want October 5 to get here as fast as possible. Ever since her show with the Indigo Girls at Hampton Beach I have been uncontrollably obsessed.

I bought the Rilo Kiley song "Silver Lining," because it is awesome. The jury is still out on whether I should fork over the nine other dollars to get the rest of the album, though.
