‘, ‘News’, ‘directories=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, status=no, toolbar=yes, resizable=yes, width=780, height=550′);return false;”>Open Question: WTF Happened to Nelly Furtado? C’mon Promiscuous?
I bought her first CD Whoa Nelly and I really really liked it because she was kinda earthy, comical, and classy all in one.
Then all of a sudden she comes out with this horrid club banger Promiscuous, basically stating “hey s l u t t y boy, where are you? I’m a s l u t t y girl come get me”
WTF?
Why do artists do sh** like this? And why is now, that she’s released such a debased song that more young people like her more than ever?
Is being promiscuous something to revel in? Is it something to be proud of and actually look for in a mate– promiscuity?
That’s not ALL I think about you racist pig. How sad that you’ve breeded and created a little you. Besides you probably tell your daughter to stay away from black guys because you’re scared of your own race diminishing. Everyone knows that a mixed kid is never white, b/c you have recessive (aka WEAKER) genes. Don’t be scared white mama.
P.S. You brought the racist sh** out, not me.

Live Shots: Josh Ritter @ The Box
Josh Ritter has always come across as a polished live performer, but his enthusiasm couldnt be contained within the theater walls at a low profile cd release performance on August 22nd in New York. It is amazing to be here, awesome, awesome, he exclaimed a few songs into the show. Much of the set focused on his just released The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter, a playful collection of immediately engaging songs. The band was clearly energized, giving an extra charge to stand-outs like Rumors and lead single Right Moves. A horn section joined in the fun for several songs, including the cacophony of Real Long Distance. Said Ritter, Ive never played with horns before. My brother got a saxophone and the animals walked around the house like the devil had showed up. Part of the shows charm was the venue, The Box, a new theater that oozes turn-of-the-century vaudevillian cool. It melded perfectly with the theatrical quality of Ritters music. Plus it was entertaining to see the horn section find a home on the burlesque staircase on the back of the stage. Ritters only mistake was not recording the show for a dvd. The room, the celebration of a new release and a magical performance will be something that he will want to cherish for years to come. Full album streaming here.
