I can’t tell if Nelly Furtado is some horrid Jennifer Lopez wanna-be or an almost Patti Rothberg. Anyone listening to the first song on her album might say the latter, but past that all bets are off. The disc honestly isn’t too good, but i think that’s mostly the fault of her producers. He writing is fine and could develop into something great, and her voice is incredible. Oh well… her original influences aren’t exactly singer-songwriters, but as she grew older she picked up some great artists like Portishead, who are a personal favourite. Nelly does achieve some great pop moments on the disc, but they’re too muddled with stylistic confusion on the other tracks to make a difference. I look forward to a second effort.
Oh… i joined this fun bloggy thing where i get to post all those whacky search requests that have been aiming atmy site. I’ll link to it on the sidebar once i post a few times.
When i spend a weekend at home, the place turns into a cyclone ravaged wasteland. Matt told me he wouldn’t be home until tomorrow… and so i wasted no time in leaving everything i could on the floor and in the hallway. When left to my own devices for a weekend i tend to enter my residence and start shedding stuff as i make my way to the couch or bed. After two or three such sheds, the apartment looks either like it was ransacked or like it played host to a rather rambunctious threesome (or foursome) who couldn’t wait to get into the bedroom to get naked. Of course, neither of those things ever happens in my apartment. Yep, it’s just me in here….
