I don’t know how I missed that one. It is one of my favorite tracks on my top 5 albums of 2008. Detours is easily up there with SiA’s Some People Have Real Problems, Adele’s 19, Ani DiFranco’s Red Letter Year and Alanis Morissette’s Flavors Of Entanglement. Madonna’s Hard Candy nor Janet Jackson’s Discipline made it. The word is still out on Mariah’s E=MC². Isn’t it weird that the year everybody released an album, there are only a few good ones?

It’s great how conscious Marc Jacobs has gotten. First it was the condoms, then the pride thing and now this. It goes for $18. I wonder what his typeface is.
Good video. Bad single choice.
I stumbled upon a great website dedicated to Jackson Pollock. Check it out.
Little Boots has released a mixtape that is available for download free of charge on Arjanwrites.com. I have never been so excited for an artist I have heard so little from. But, The little from Little Boots has been great. She is like a cross of Robyn and Roisin Murphy, with a little Goldfrapp thrown in. That’s a hodgepodge of electrolush. She calls it “post nu rave.”
What do you think?
