This is a new recurring post I’m going to try to keep doing…probably once weekly? It’s called “Am So Much In Love With Right Now” and I don’t think I could explain it much better than that really. Music, movies, TV, tech… It’s whatever I’m pitching a mental tent over at the moment. And this week it’s…
Kanye West: “Love Lockdown”
Now, I have to admit. I hate Kanye West. HATE. He’s arrogant, brash, obnoxious, and, frankly, highly overrated. But this track makes me hate him a little less so. I’m starting to realize that Kanye the Artist and Kanye the Performer are almost two different entities. I began picking up on the Kanye craze after his 2008 Grammy performance of ‘Stronger‘, but thought the success of it came mainly from the collaboration with Daft Punk. But after seeing his performance of his new #1 single ‘Love Lockdown‘ on this year’s VMAs, I realized that…this guy has a vision. Maybe I’m a latecomer…maybe I’m slow…maybe I’m still right even after all that. But one thing is for sure… I’ll be keeping a closer eye (and ear) on his upcoming album. From the sound of this hit, it might be something I’d actually listen to. Check out his VMA performance of ‘Love Lockdown’ here (since I can’t figure out how to embed MTV’s Overdrive player… grrr…) and his Grammy performance below.
I couldn’t put into words better than what Towleroad has posted this morning about Governor Sarah “the Pitbull” Palin, so I’ll just link you forward.
Most importantly, read the comments. They are, as usual, very enlightening.
