Hello everybody. I hope you all had Happy Holidays! And when I say "Happy Holidays" I really mean Merry Christmas, because I’m white, from the Midwest and too uncultured to recognize “holidays†with “names†like Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Boxing Day. What I’m not too uncultured to recognize, however, is the eerie resemblance between this picture I found in an old clip art book (at the right) and my choice for 2005’s entertainer of the year, Kanye West.
I don’t think anyone can make much argument against Mr. West’s status as the most entertaining man of the past 365, I mean c’mon, everything he says either turns to gold records or cracks me up. Plus, he keeps taking verbal shots at the Prez and nobody has managed to Dixie-Chick him yet!
Let’s look ahead to 2006 for Mr. West. First up, the Grammy Awards. I’m hoping Mr. West gets completely snubbed. One, because that would make me laugh (even though he deserves to win every category, including Heavy Metal) and two, it will speed the process of the next big 2006 Kayne West moment - his monumental nervous break down. It’s gonna happen, don’t kid yourself.
So that’s it. I hope Santa brought you everything wished for, and if he didn’t I hope he left a receipt, so you can experience the joy of standing in more lines. Anybody want to have a re-gifting party? I got some socks I would like to exchange for something that you received but have no use for - like an alabaster figurine of two praying hands.
Stuff to Sample: Diplo’s remix of Kanye West’s “Goldigger†which is really a remix of Ray Charle’s “I Gotta Woman†and the Legendary K.O. aping Mr. West’s style to drop “George Bush Don’t Car About Black Peopleâ€
You should be like Time magazine and add a couple more bands to the list so its "Artists of the Year."
I nominate My Morning Jacket for rocking my world and receiving the most attention (i.e. posts) on eLarceny.
I also nominate the Darkness for releasing an absolute masterpiece of rock and roll as well as insulting Colplay and U2.
[1] The "Best of 2005" lists will be coming soon.
Viva La South Side Chicaca!
Yes, much love to Chi-Town, even though it sounds dangerous and scary
Ha. Indeed. Much love to south side T-Town as well and we all know how scary it is.
R. Kelly gets honorable mention, right? ("Trapped in a closet"- WTF was that???)
Heh, What about Festivious?
And, no mention of Bloc Party :-( WTF
Although, I think My Morning Jacket would win over B.P. Not because they are better, but because they are "America's RadioHead."
