iTuned into you
iTunes offers some interesting additions this week.
First off, they have a new Public Enemy greatest hits album. Although I do recommend staying away from P.E. music on extremely hot summer days, I cannot deny that this greatest hits package would be a nice addition to a record collection lacking any Public Enemy.
iTunes also has a Muddy Waters collection called "Hoochie Coochie Man: The Complete Chess Masters, Vol. 2, 1952-1958." This one cooks with some serious Blues. If you like the Blues but are suffering from "I only own various artists blues cds"-itis, I recommend that you download this collection. The price is $24.99 but you get something like 51 songs. Just think, you can tell your friends, yeah, I dig the blues. And when they ask you what you like you can say you are a big Muddy Waters fan and you might even mention a few songs that they have not heard of. This answer impresses better than the "I like a lot of different stuff but I'm not sure what" answer that you might be offering if someone asked you this question today. Remember, as Nick Hornby once wrote, "It's not what you're like, it's what you like."
The real guilty pleasure, although it's not clear it should be, is the ELO (electric light orchestra) greatest hits collection just added to iTunes. Wow. If you want some pure pop sugar from the 70s this hits collection is for you. Jeff Lynne really knows how to construct pop gems with relatively high melodic content.
I can't believe I actually wrote "pop gems." This must be the kagillionth time someone has wrote "pop gems." Hey, writing is hard work and I gotta stick with the cliches or I'll burn out!
You'll become a better person just by listening to 3 or 4 of the 30 second samples on the ELO collection. Why not try out "Livin' Thing", "Mr. Blue Sky", and "Sweet Talkin' Woman." This stuff is just so frickin's awesome!!
So in summary, if you're a person that really doesn't like rap but wants to own a few albums to up what you consider your cool quotient, then consider purchasing the public enemy greatest hits. A purchase of one of their actual albums, however, might up your quotient even more. Yet again, being honest about your musical preferences and admitting that you pretty much can't stand listening to any rap music might make you a bit of a loser, but it makes you honest and that can be cool.
There's really no excuse beyond monetary ones to not buy the ELO collection. Even if you hate music like this, the cd itself can serve a variety of purposes that, although utterly amazing, cannot be named here.
Last, there's the muddy waters collection which can educate anyone on the history of popular music.
Meanwhile, in my ongoing effort to sell the website with sex, check out Beyonce's ass. I did a search for ass pictures of Jay-Z but, alas, there are none available. There aren't really many ass pictures of male rockstars. I do remember, however, that the ladies did find D'Angelo attractive back in the day. So, it's a double feature!!
