If U Seek Lowbrow Pop Culture

Ugh that 'If U Seek Amy' Brittney Spears video. Ugh.
My friends brought the video up today, & I'd never heard the song before.

In any event, who is writing her these singles that are based around a wordplay of 'fuck me'?!
What's Brit's demographic this time around? 12 year olds? Apparently some Spears-revival 17 year olds too. The video was nothing short of graphic and the lyrics are overtly obscene. The brow is low. Very low.

If you or someone you know has sought Amy, I suggest these detox songs:

Guys Eyes - Animal Collective
Click Click Click Click - Bishop Allen (adorable video!!)
Little Garçon - Born Ruffians (attached a pro-taped live version)

SNL Valentine's Day 2009!

So last night the Jonas Brothers were the musical guest on SNL with Alec Baldwin hosting. I was especially excited this week to watch because I love the Jonas Brothers. Not their music though. I received most of their catalog from an actual fan/friend and can't listen to more than a couple at a time, because they're not very good. Screechy. Annoying riffs. Bad, overtly rhyming writing.

So how can I love them? I'm in love with their image. This is not to be confused with their appearance and metro-sexual style. I see them from a critical approach, I love why they're famous but not their fame. Perfect boy band recipe. Let's pretend we're record execs: we sign them. Sure, they're not that great, not really doing anything new, but look at them!

LOOK AT THEM!
Millions of Disney Channelers would give anything for them!
Perfect. Boy. Band. Formula. Who cares what they sound like!

Anyway, so Lorne was probably crying in his office last night since the show ran so short. And I feel like the writers put all of their effort into the Jonas Brother sketches. Even Andy hooked them for his digital short...




And Alec Baldwin as the fourth brother Gary Jonas for the first sketch of the show, I bet they had huge ratings early last night.
