Track of the day: Janet Jackson – “What’ll I Do (for satisfaction)” ,… meant to post that about two months ago, but now is as good as before. It’s cool to hear Miss Janet in a slightly more conventional band format without even the screeching guitars she’s prone to inducing.

I own nearly a dozen forms of Ani DiFranco’s “Firedoor” in its different versions, but today this one line hit me like never before “taken out of context i must seem so strange.” In addition to being a killer Ani line, it rings especially true.

The samples that appear on Janet Jackson albums speak very highly of her reputation in the music industry. Aside from her multiple Supreme’s and Kool and the Gang references on Janet, she also notably uses a Joni Mitchell classic and covers Rod Stewart on Velvet Rope. The fact that she so effortlessly and seamlessly combines these legendary artists’ work with her own proves that in the end she is certainly the most talented Jackson and the only one that still matters. And this comes from a kid who was raised on the behind the scenes of thriller video.

It’s not as though the show is about me, but i think it just makes me realize that i have no right to be so annoyed that everyone thinks i’m gay, because i really do send out all the signals. And, i don’t mean to… i mean, it’s obviously not a gay thing, but a culture thing – i grew up listening to Madonna and Culture club, and i gesture when i talk, and i take shots at fashion and hair-dos. But, what does that all mean, really? I make snap assumptions about people’s sexual preference based on their small habits too, but i don’t assume anything about them. Those are two different things entirely.
