"I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up/There’s plenty more fish in the sea" - The Streets, Dry Your Eyes
[buy the album]
This is what I fear about getting older:Also, I will buy you something off your wishlist if you can figure out what the hell's going on with my typekey and comment problems. The milk's gone bad. hit me up via email and if you're not crazy I'll give you access to my MT and you can work your magic. My mind just is not working looking at all that code today.
Like some who wrote in, I initially confused Timbaland with a well known pop singer called Justin Timberlake. Some listeners may know of the latter because he appeared with Janet Jackson during her infamous "wardrobe malfunction" at this past winter's Super Bowl broadcast. Ulaby's interview with Timbaland was about how he found inspiration in the Tolkien novels, The Lord of the Rings. It seemed an unusual combination, but Ulaby made Timbaland more comprehensible and his music more accessible. This was good cultural journalism: It introduced me to an artist I didn't know. It told me why he is important and why he is an artist. I may not run out to buy his CD, but at least I can make an informed choice. - NPR's Ombudsman (initially found via Anil)Nevermind the confusion between Timbaland and Timberlake, which is just crazy, but then to not even make the connection that there's a relationship between Timbaland and JT? To be so out of touch with contemporary music that while listening to a music piece that uses several Justin Timberlake tracks that Timbaland produced and, I believe, even refers to Timbaland in context with Justin and still not correlate that not only are they not the same person but that Timbaland produced what was the signature track on Justin's solo album while also being one of the most creative and forward thinking producers in pop music today? Sigh. Please shoot me in 30 years if I'm on some old man bullshit like that. I have absolutely no plans for this weekend? Wanna hang out? I'm trying to go to the Apple Store in Santa Monica tomorrow so I can meet up with alphabet girl and see the guy she manages perform. Other than that...it's lookin' like DVDs and chores. What kind of shit is that?
update: Michelle is a rock star and worked it out. You should hang out with her at the blog body shop and see what she can do for you.
