Hmm... Songs sure do inspire us...

...

Some songs inspire us grand things... Some titles of songs are misleading too - likewise for the titles of certain albums... Such as Shakira's album pictured here... But that is another story! *lol*

What of songs' titles that, when coupled with the band's name... make absolutely no sense?!? As in the case of one of the tracks that you may be listening to right this instant as you read my whimsical bit - track #9 on the playlist to be found just down below here... "HOPE" by the little-known group called "Anathema". Hmm... what is wrong with THAT picture? Can there truly be any "hope" for the anathema?!? One needs to know the meaning of the word anathema of course in order to know... Or merely attempt to make any sort of call on that rather... ah... touchy subject still?

Touchy... but barely so nowadays! Who cares anymore about such things as the purgatory, limbo, hell, excommunication, the difference between seven deadly sins and seven venial sins... And who gives a flying fig about being deemed to be an "anathema" in this day and age? Huh? People have been practically *trained* not to care and to strive to shock the few who still hold these rather old values dear instead, either by themselves or by supporting such stage acts as... well, they know who they are! ;)

Nah - nowadays, nobody cares... almost! It is "to each his own" and all is fine... rrrright? *lol* Maybe not...? There should still be something such as... I don't know... moral standings?

There sure as heck exists the opposite out there - moral decay!

Ah - and if the playlist is merely a list and will most definitely not PLAY anything for you, here is the song in question:

Hmm... Is Justice really improving in this world after all...?!?

On the date that, waaaaay back in 1431, the trial of one JOAN OF ARK began, we learn that a 9/11 plotter has his prison term increased! It was doubled in fact, in a German court of all places, in Hamburg to be more specific... Justice is improving, being meted out in a harsher way to those who deserve it too, in the country where, a relatively short time ago (what's 60-65 years in human history? Peanuts...) dementia and lunacy overtook an entire nation (or a good portion of it) and possessed the collective psyche enough to have them commit such atrocities... All in the name of the imaginary "master race"...! I should apologize for the very condensed -very spontaneous too- luminous history lesson... But I will not! ;) Suffice it to say - if Joan of Ark got the stake, 576 years ago today... Surely Mounir el Motassadeq deserves to get 15 years in prison... And to be decked all along the way... I know - easy one to say... Or type, really... Sue me, willya? ;)

Hmm... THOSE are the Big Hits of 2007...?

Unlike my stance in other areas (...) I will not pretend to be an "all-knowing expert" of what makes the ever ebullient music industry "pop"... (!) But I can still come up with a TOP 10 of what are, (IMLO) in my luminous opinion, the biggest hits of the year that is ending TONIGHT... 2007 was, in my eyes, Timbaland's year. His "Shock Value" release was something else and he managed to be both artist AND producer/promoter of other artists on it! Nelly Furtado had another revealing year (though revealing she might be flimsy a bit wasn't exactly a high point in her career) and she also collaborated with Timbaland, not-so coincidentally... Top spot goes to RIHANNA though - as her song expresses so "spunkily", just in its title, what I summarily feel about a certain designated driver that I know, a ninny by the name of ROSA... (!) Nods go also to the likes of Sean Kingston, who made a splash with his ode to being -gulp- suicidal? Took guts to...

hmm... golden globes?

  Ever wondered why the hell they started rewarding  cheap TV without much in the way of standards of any kind  -often employing the same thespians, over and over again-  AND WHY did they ever decide to call these things  "THE GOLDEN GLOBES"  as this clearly doesn't always involve the whole damn globe  and there's no real gold to be dug up - nowhere!!!  The most prestigious award they have to give out,  truth be told, probably would be the  CAROL BURNETT (ACHIEVEMENT) AWARD  and they've given a grand total of... THREE TIMES  (including the one given away tonight: to 98 year-old  Norman Lear! Good thing they didn't wait any longer - eh?  As they could have given it to him last year: instead, they  chose to give it to ELLEN...!!! That's the video above...  The inaugural one -below- was Carol Burnett herself - duh)  Yeah, yeah - alright, alright;  they've got the CECIL B. De MILLE AWARD, too...  ...
