WARNING.... this is an all music posting with double Media Tidbits.  If you are looking for my usual jaundiced views the Economy, Real Estate or Politics.... MOVE ON (dot org?)

Firstly, I added two new DIVA CD's to the library:  The latest by Chaka Khan and Annie Lennox.

Cha... Chaka Khan... Chaka Khan!  Awesome CD and real return to pop after a decade in jazz.  Here collaboration with Mary J. Blige is destined to be a hit ("Disrespected") and is already charting in the UK (as well as having shown up on a mash up).

Annie also returned to a more pop format after a couple very down beat collections.  The new CD has some of her best work since DIVA and I hope it charts for her.  Ever since I saw the video for "Sweet Dreams" in the 80's - - I've been and Annie Fan.

This brings us to our first of two Media Tidbits!  From her new CD, my favorite cut: Coloured Bedspread... a cut that harks back to some of the best work she's done as a solo artist (ie: the DIVA Album).

MEDIA TIDBIT #1 of 2:

OK... now for my final media tidbit... this is from the site popbytes that skewers the celebrity culture and features an awesome mash-up-of-the-week... Gimme More Shoes (Kelly vs Britney).  Everybody's favorite celebrity train wreck has a cut single out: Gimme More.  The cut is a perfectly fine pop confection that is getting airplay and actually seems pretty well received.  Her public performances?  Not so much.  Apparently she needs to be edited.  Anyway, Gimme More has been skewered by the Mash Community... crossed with everything from The Knack to that annoying kid on myspace (Leave Britney Alone!).  This one is my favorite because it takes the inane, dance-pop of Britney and crosses it with the inane Dance-Comedy of KELLY (Oh. My. Gawd.... SHOES!).  Download it for free here!

In a total BETCH SLAP, The real talent (Kelly) is getting ROBBED.... I hope you enjoy it, BETCH!
