  • MHW Liveblogs The 2008 MTV Video Music Awards: This Could Be Interesting…

    Tonight marks the 25th anniversary of the MTV Video Music Awards. If you’re like the majority of people, this event doesn’t excite you. The show has taken such a dive in quality over the past decade or so that I actually skipped last year’s ceremony-and I’m a music awards show junkie. I almost skipped tonight’s show as well, but since my plans for the evening fell through, I’m hanging out here with you, live, as the magic, the drama, and/or the disaster unfolds.

    *I have already noticed one good thing-this year’s show is only two hours long (I wrote two years originally…Freudian slip?). It’s the perfect amount of time for me to get annoyed without feeling like I want to kick a hole in the TV.

    *I’ve actually already noticed another thing: this Russell Brand or Bland or whatever his name is? Douchebag.

    *I’ve only caught about 15 minutes of the pre-show. The hosts are a bunch of no-name guys, the pretty blank space country singer Taylor Swift, some obnoxious Brit (this seems like a running gag tonight), Sway’s sellout ass and John Norris, who is older than all the other co-hosts combined.

    *Britney is opening tonight. You’ve gotta figure anything would be better than that performance of “Gimme More”, right?

    *Sorry. I want to marry Jonah Hill. There, I said it. If Jonah Hill has a gay twin brother, please call or email me.

  • New Music: Pink’s “So What?”: Pop’s Baddest Attitude Returns

    Perhaps it’s my general love of slightly salty women (Courtney Love and Amy Winehouse would certainly fall into this category), but I LOVE Pink (or P!nk, or whatever she’s called). Not only is she in possession of a truly great singing voice, but there’s a sense of authenticity in her music that’s not present in the music of most of her pop peers.

    Hard to believe, but she’s about to release her fifth album this fall. It will be the follow-up to the Platinum-plus “I’m Not Dead”, an album I got right away but it took the general public a little more time to appreciate. The first single, “So What?”. finds her a little feister than usual and being more candid than usual about her personal life, directly referencing her recent divorce from motocross star Carey Hart (no, not the “Sunglasses at Night” guy. That’s COREY Hart). Although it’s slightly reminiscent of “Dead”‘s breakthrough hit “U + Ur Hand” (with a little “Stupid Girls” thrown in…witness the sideways jab at Jessica Simpson), it’s still more awesome than the average retread. Check it out for yourself.
