When I was in high school and listening to Smashing Pumpkins, the post-humous Kurt Cobain, Bush, et. al, I always wondered when the day would come that I would be out of touch with the music of the day and even go so far as being ambivalent to it. While watching the VMAs tonight on MTV, I realized that I'm pretty sure that the day has come. And if this is "popular music," then I'm not as bothered by it as I thought it would have been. So... submitted for your approval, here is the correspondence between my good friend Brook and myself during the show. me: i was watching the vma preshow and wishing i'd taken dance lessons so i could pull a little America's best dance crew on the boat! Hahaha.\ brook: you could've went to dance camp with jesse spano. me: are you watching it? ashley simpson is as big as a house. brook: yes she was. me: i am hoping britney makes a huge comeback. haha. brook: hopefully as big as last years. me: one can only hope. Hahaha. He just said "who invited Brody?" brook: i heard. and he dissed t-pain. he might be shot or trampled by that elephant after the show. me: probably so. we'll see who's relevant. me: someone should have told rihanna she had some toilet paper in her dress. brook: that would have been the polite thing for the producers to do. brook: is it bad that i'm loving this russel brand? me: i think he may be my new favorite. although the rest of the show thus far feels awkward. brook: how so? side note... did you notice lc's perfectly placed mascara tear? so not scripted. me: i don't know. it just feels disconnected and unorganized. i did not see the tear but can't stand her.
brook: since mtv does not repeat anything ever, you may not see it. if they do it's when she and audrina are having their heart to heart. it could be slightly disorganized. or the ppl planning it could have been slightly drunk. me: am i the only one who can't stand the jonas brothers? brook: also, i was typing and not watching and thought that a skirt was singing this song. me: seriously, are they on sesame street right now? brook: nope. brook: this show was brought to you by the letters m, t, and v. me: why even wear pants, lil wayne? brook: he's ashamed of his knobby knees. me: and now lilo forgot most her shirt.
brook: no doubt. Regarding Paramore me: you and lisa need some yellow pants. brook: i would have to agree. Regarding Pink brook: is she on the set of rent? me: she should be singing seasons of love right now. and maybe be hanging with a tranny. me: also bad day not to wear a bra. brook: and i think she forgot her pants. what were there stylists doing with their time? brook: she remembered the tape. it's all good. Regarding T.I. and Rihanna.. again me: i think the creative producers were on crack when they thought up these VMAs. what happened to marilyn manson freaking us out? brook: and what happened to people's clothes? did her zipper just not work? me: is that what one might call shabby chic? brook: more slutty than shabby. me: on a side note: the challenge is starting wednesday! brook: i saw! so excited! Regarding Tokio Hotel me: aaaaand there's our tranny. brook: haha. no doubt. Regarding "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock and also Lil Wayne..again.. blah me: your favorite song! brook: with my favorite rapper. brook: i just got called to sub. it's after 11. me: boo! tell them you can't because you were nauseated by this show. My overall impression: suck. But at least there was a surprise by McLovin. |
