Music
Several new releases I am contemplating purchasing- do a learned listeners have an opinion?
1) Courtney Love- America's Sweethear. I thought Live Through This was a masterpiece and Celbrity Skin a POS. I dont know Pretty on the Inside. I believe that Cobain wrote most of Live throught this and Billy Corgan wrote most of Celebrity Skin. I loved Cobain and loathe Corgan, so dont knwo where this leaves me on the new album. ANyone heard this album and have thoughts? Reades on rolling stone dot com seem to really like it. spin didnt have much on it as I recall.
2) Blondie- the curse of blondie. I think RS gave it a bad review, but the readers loved it except one who called harry "an old hag" (!). i dont recall other reviews. anyone?
3) Prince - Musicology. I own nothing from Prince but enjoyed much of his pop stuff like everyone else, and then lost sight of him when he went indie (thought I heard most of it was great except for the Jehovahs Witness phase). I have read a couple of stellar reviews. Should I pick this one up?
Fuck I have become mainstream in my old age. Can someone recommend a southren fried rock blues type band that I might love? Or someone a little bit country and a little bit rock n roll a la Sheryl Crow? I need new music.
