fourfour's 44+ reasons to love 2008 (Part 2 - 34-25)

It continues.

Reason No. 34 - Because Miley Cyrus repeatedly subverted Disney's squeaky cleanliness

This year, America's best top hypoglycemic trashed fellow Disney dork Selena Gomez, outed herself as a seat-belt-phobe and promoted barebacking.

At last, a tween queen worth paying attention to. I would not be surprised to find out that this is all an inside job. If not: more wild times ahead! It's in her DNA! Of-age boobage is inevitable! Exciting!

33. Because, speaking of inevitable, I have two words for you: Ga...Ga

It amazed me that so much was made of Christina Aguilera's swagger-jacking of Lady GaGa, when Gaga's entire existence could be summed up as reminiscent. I guess no one's heard of Gwen Stefani or Miss Kittin before (not to mention, Róisín Murphy, as frequently noted on ONTD). Don't bullshit a bullshitter, you know? Like a breathing mash-up of "Hollaback Girl" and "Frank Sinatra," this Harajukuclash psuedo-weirdo came at us all pouty, rappy, finger-waggy and with Warholian tendencies. And if that wasn't distasteful enough, she looked like she'd been hit by a fabulous garbage truck on its way out of Williamsburg. (All expensive, like!) Those whose better judgment didn't send them running, however, were treated to GaGa's true subversion: take away the trash and flash and you have a bitch who can write the fuck out of a melody. At least half of her album The Fame is indelibly catchy ("Poker Face" is my fav, and in second is "Boys, Boys, Boys" which is almost as good as Sabrina Salerno's Italo classic of the same name but completely different). It's fairly exciting that a straight-up dance act was able to score a Top 3 hit (instead of an established R&B artist dabbling in house territory). I won't be surprised if GaGa's fame turns out to be short-lived, but I also won't be surprised if it doesn't.

32. Because Madonna finally shut up and danced

Most disagree, but by cutting the shit (most importantly, the delusions of insight) and embracing her disposable side, Madonna made her best album in at least 14 years. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

31. Because I couldn't get, "You thought I couldn't freestyle on you, boo" out of my head for FUCKING WEEKS...and I liked that

Thanks, Soulja Girl. I needed that.

And while bipolar disorder is serious, sometimes devastating matter, the postscript to this viral video made for a fascinating Web 2.Whoooooa! story in its own right. I weep for Soulja Girl: her candle burned out long before her legend ever did...in a way, I guess.

30. Because of all the nice things The-Dream did for us...

...especially this:

I have a feeling that this guy has great, great things ahead of him. After all, he writes melodies that are sweeter than Ne-Yo on all fours, and you catch more flies with honey. His debut album, released at the end of last year but on my ears for most of this one, reminded me a lot of Prince's For You (not in sound, but in promise and gentle idiosyncrasy in its summation of R&B in 2007). I have a warm feeling inside that his forthcoming set will be his Prince.

29. Because New Order never sounded better

 

Expanded and remastered reissues of history's greatest dance band's first five albums had me enraptured for over two straight weeks this fall. It reminded me of the past I never had: When I was in high school, this slightly older, way cooler ravey chick told me one day that she had earlier listened to New Order on the way to work and found herself both exhilarated and choked up in traffic. I really wanted to empathize, but New Order hadn't touched me so deep at that point. Now, I know exactly how she felt.

One of my greatest discoveries of the year is that "Sub-culture" might be the best Eurodisco track of all time.

28. Because Flickr's Coyote2012 had this great way of making you feel dirty

Dispersed throughout his travels as chronicled on Flickr are stealth shots of dudes he thinks are hot.

Even when our tastes don't align, I'm still impressed with his sense of naughtiness.

27. Because T.I.'s set us up for a most pleasant 2009

 

The best moments of T.I.'s very good Paper Trail were about as exuberant as hip-hop got all year (seriously: the album's more fun than Tha Carter III...on weeeeed). And even after two amazing and ubiquitous singles in a row, he still has this year to release the glorious Ludacris collabo "On Top of the World." He's sitting on top of something that's just waiting to be global. I envy his view.

26. Because Ambiguous Denim made me feel comfortable again

In my experience it's become increasingly hard to find appropriate affordable jeans, as so many of them are either an intentional fade away from the abandoned roller rink or either like leggings or JNCOs (put one LOL in at a time). Ambiguous shit is consistently single-toned and baby-bear baggy. Just right!

25. Because Rich Cohen wrote a celebrity profile for the ages

 

Since you didn't ask, my favorite passage from this ingenious interpretation of Angelina Jolie's celebrity is:

"...She is a Method actor in reverse; whereas a Method actor brings the things of her life into her roles, Jolie brings her characters’ stories into her real life. Which is why, though Jolie is an outstanding actress, she’s a more outstanding celebrity. It’s not that she becomes the character—it’s that the character becomes her. Disturbed youth (Girl, Interrupted), wild child (Gia), humanitarian (Beyond Borders), married (sort of) to Brad Pitt (Mr. & Mrs. Smith)."

So simply reasoned, it's as though we knew it all along.

You'll never believe it, but Numbers 24-15 are coming up tomorrow!

Comments

Love this!

fuck me rich

[sairentohiru]

I love the surreptitious Trader Joe's shot. I swear the only reason I go to TJ's is because the guys who work there are even yummier than that infernal Sweet 'n' Savory Mix they sell there!

[Deon]

Rich, you're extremely amazing, end of story. I want to kind of comment on the whole Miley Cyrus incident, and while I do love that we know so much more about our celebrities, the personal delicacies of there private lives, that is the problem; we all know too much. I think it's what's dragging stars down, while the entertainment factor is undeniably astronomical, it, as a whole, brings celebrities down. I guess what I'm trying to say is I would like to go back to the old days when we couldn't pirate so much music, and knew less about celebrities, that's part of the lore about celebrities, not knowing that they were everyday people, now, too many people feel as though they can be celebrities.

I don't even know if that made any sense, but I do know that I love you and your blog.

[Dandy Darkly]

Good ones, Rich. I particularly liked the first posting's inclusion of Megan from the Rock of Love various and sundry shows.

She always struck me as having an obvious awareness of the reality television process and knowing when to play to what the audience wanted and what the producers wanted. Good for her.

[Vanessa]

I am so having to check this tomorrow.

Somehow I missed the phenom that is Soulja Girl. What did we do before camera phones and Web 2.0 allowed us to exploit the feeble-minded, mentally ill and otherwise naive or chronic makers of poor decisions among us?

[Lizzy]

New Order!?!? I knew I liked you, but I didn't know I loved you.

Also, the sneaky photos of hot people is brilliant. That might be something I attempt in 2009.

[DLCS]

Angelina Jolie's performance in "Gia" is nothing short of a miracle. Too bad she's become a bit of a pop culture joke. Sadness.

Waiting impatiently for "The Watchmen"...

[jenny]

i'm just excited that rich is posting every day. shit, there's nothing happening at work, i've got a lot of time to kill and the gawker sites have been a tad boring. lovin it, rich!

[ken]

thanks for highlighting lady gaga. i've been watching her since spring, and i'm happy for her success. dang, she's been on that "just dance" grind for MONTHS! yeah, the album isn't rocket science, but packed to the gills with memorable hooks. and while i agree with you that her style isn't particularly revolutionary, i was just shocked with how blatantly christina jacked her stuff. like, snatched the wig right off gaga's head. having said that, what i see in gaga, aside from her knack for writing catchy songs, is her knowing, winking intelligence and drive. i'm not saying her career will be long and prosperous, but in that regard, she reminds me of that young madonna who wanted to rule the world(an oft-made comparison, but britney never really had the hunger, and katy perry, is, well, katy perry). honesty, when "everybody" and "burning up" hit, did anyone think madge would be in it for the long haul? just sayin. and thank you for being one of my pop culture gurus, this year.

[Noel Brinkley]

is your banner from Little Children?

[LaCatholique]

The Dream is one of those artists I keep forgetting I like...don't set out to buy his stuff, but keep wind up liking his tracks when previewing stuff.

Besides the music itself, the other thing I like about him is (at least from what I've heard so far), his...I don't know what you'd call it, but every pop or R&B songwriter has some kind of idea of love that seems to be their signature. His seems to be this unusuallyfriendly version. Somehow seems more focused on two people who genuinely LIKE each other in addition to wanting to, you know, get busy and such and stuff. I don't know, there's just something really sweet about his stuff in a way that doesn't seem all winky and cutesy poo or sickly sentimental as other similarly themed songs.

I am suddenly having this strongest de ja vu that I have left this exact comment somewhere else before, but when else would he have come up, so I will risk it.

[Swag]

aww, T.I. is on the list. You forgot that he remains sexy whiel doing so.

[Leslie]

Oh Rich, please tell me you've heard the Ludachrist remix of Soulja girl. It's kind of the best thing ever.

wait. am i not savvy enough? either way that answer is NO. however, i'm left wondering: was that an endorsement or knock on Gaga?

I'm pressing charges.

Tarpishchev: Safin no one to replace
Waiver of Sokkeruz can be expensive lawyer


In this elegant woman is a thing to an angel and a demon thing. Noble face, aristocratic, slender fingers, perfect figure, but a hoarse voice and artistic nature. Try to resist the fascinating look brown eyes and beat the provocative question. We try and get with Irina Allegrova very frank answers.About Love- You often say that you Maximalist. did not like the tone. Wish you could now fall in love quickly? probably yes - throw a favorite thing and completely devote themselves to family? - Want the ring was in love with someone, you could, of course. however, be all my trembling respect by the way the family, if I quickly advance not to throw, then quickly now more so never give up their favorite cause. This is my medicine for a living. Loving each other people can not put yourself in front of such a choice. What but this attention then?- In other words you are ready to present to someone to meet for a family?- Of course! yes so as not to drink or smoke ... (Laughs) but the main thing that was not just her husband, a person close to the spirit. like I say, men with a capital letter. On this occasion, I have a comic about a song that has lines like: I have not new - born male is almost gone, crushed Casanova, sold by weight. al grew up in a wonderful family, where the priest was a real man, in whom one could always rely on. Constant comparison with envelopes in my hand and my heart stopped me in my personal life: I was looking for this but the ideal man. But, unfortunately for ... unreasonably long and not found. but I do not consider myself alone! Even his song Lonely I ubralhotya repertoire is: do not want her character was associated with me! Loneliness two far worse ...- But a simple one, not her husband, whom you trust, which might wish to share personal experiences, so there?- Proximity - loose concept. On any topic I can only speak with his daughter and mother. Many experiences I can share with friends and friends, but every year I understand that open is really just the closest. not a little been faced with this situation, if you've heard of strangers their own words to someone before friendship. Such moments make me a more closed, while disappointed in the people do not want to.About Creativity and transit passengers, Come into me, I'll conquer - clips that the way was a resounding success. Now remove clips deemed unfashionable. What has changed? - Transaction is not even the fact that it is now unfashionable, simple clips have nowhere to show it. Music program, which is now fashionable to say, twist clips, go at night, and the common man simply does not have the possibility to see this. For example, the last above-clip in the duet song with Grigory Leps I do not believe you. so what? Let's try to interfere with 100 people in the street and ask: who knows the song and who saw the clip? Song knows almost everything, and the video did not see nobody. but I myself really want to make yet a little clip, because it is - a small beautiful film.- Otrodjas there is no suggestion to make producing?- Production - this before investing money in young talent. A couple of little there was such a desire, but I'm not sure that I can start a shark show business. I'm in it there is neither time nor effort. but maybe I'm just lazy.- Now no reason a lot of ice and dance shows. Why they were missing you?- Sport am I missing in the scene. However, the Council sit on the jury came often. but for this I need to stop touring. but I can not afford such a luxury. About the rumors say, that you have bought nearly a bus? - Is not a bus, and a convenient drug movement. In all cities offer different machines, and sometimes they have to move from city to city. It's very tiring. Day and night I ask the machine to solve a rug with a pillow. Well, maybe nobody else in the car does not want to sleep, but mainly if long rides? So to say that about me aristocratic habits. Here therefore I have decided not to go to other people's cars, and buy their car, where about I have a sofa, a refrigerator and should always be to me.- Right. but how about an airplane? does not plan to buy?- Oh, no! but with its own aircraft in principle not refuse it. I'm here with vertoletamitakoy was the case ... It was the 90 th year. before the New Year I was in such lands, as the recent Urengoy Yamburg. Yes the team had to seek in a helicopter. Helicopter ancient, Mi-8. before the flight leaves little to the technicians kromeim big wrench starts to tighten up things there ... screw. He saw our frightened litshotya says: Well, you're worried about us then kerosene leaking. Okay. He's gone. However, above-arranger Lazarus to the parties unreasonably looks, looks, and the rear plate where the year of release the helicopter. nedumanno out of the blue he turns to me. al watch it together was white, and he said to me: Ira, this helicopter is older than me a year.Then I took off with their grief in half. but suddenly the pilots say to me: Go here. during the pilot's cabin. al gone. Sat down between them, I put on the headset.

The holdups look top tracing onto over her revealed broke thighs up to the garter cincture portion of the nylons. Next she chooses a fair bra and panty set with an riveting designer pattern.

Her a-one is a extensive sleeved blouse made from pleasant snow-white linen, and Lisa Rose leaves the top only one buttons undone. Her conceitedly elegant breasts threaten to bang out-moded at any moment. She puts on well-founded a advice of fragrance and is wearing simply the absolute modicum of lipstick. She checks herself inseparable last chance in the mirror image, slips on a pair of wan heels and heads into the open air the door to the office. Yes, today Lisa Rose pleasure frame dreams come true.
