I Make Bangers, Not Anthems, Leave That to The Artful Dodgers...

In my messenger bag/satchel/the big bag that has taken over my need for a back pack (whatever you want to call it), I carry certain essentials. These essentials are just that- I need them to survive my everday life. The contents are usually a make-up bag, an idea journal/notebook, a list of current cds that I will get around to getting when I have more money, and gum. I was looking in my bag last night and I couldn't find my cd list. I looked everywhere and I couldn't find it. And to be honest I am kinda pissed- now what I am going to do? It took months to compile that list. Watch me find it when I am least expecting it. At least I hope...

But on another matter- and I know that I am commenting on this late- I was reading a review (I forget where) of Gwen Stefani's album and I was really surprised how many people actually like it. I am shocked because although I love Gwen and I think she is highly innovative- I thought her album was pretty bad. The beats were fine as well as her actual ideas and inspiration for the songs- but her writing didn't make it to the same level. I mean why, why would you redo a song from Fiddler on The Roof? The writing is just plain wack with the exceptions of What You Waiting For and Long Way To Go with Andre 3000- which the latter being almost all Andre's doing. Sad for Gwen- cause I know she can do better. But maybe her next cd will be better- there may have been too much pressure...
