Robyn
BMG tried to turn Robyn into Britney Spears, Jive didn't promote her work internationally and ultimately attempted to veto tracks she felt strongly about. She bought out her Jive contract and started a record label. While watching Chappelle's Show she saw a sketch featuring Wu Tang Clan member The RZA in which he used the line "Konnichiwa Bitches." She cracked up and decided to not only record a song entitled "Konniciwa Bitches" but to call her new venture "Konichiwa Records."
In this self entitled effort Robyn collaborates with The Teddy Bears and Kleerup respectively on tracks "Cobrastyle" (Which the Teddy Bears released previously with Mad Cobra) and "With Every Heartbeat" which appeared on a previous Kleerup album. The entire album seems an ecclectic mix of funky hip hop beats and baselines and electronic synthesizers. It's a rich mix of dance music, soulful balads and tongue in cheek humor. Tracks like "Handle Me" and "Bum Like You" show Robyn's playful side while demonstrating that she's a serious musician. Balads like "Anytime you Like" and "Eclipse" show her range as an artist and prove her versitility and growth as an artist. By far the BEST track on the album has to be "Be Mine" Be Mine starts on (the one/an upbeat) the way all Funk does and the base line is supported by chellos, violas and violins and the vocal blending is simply masterful. It's no wonder that Robyn feels it's admittedly the best song she's ever written.
Robyn calls the self entitled effort an album of "singles" and insist that there "isn't a bad track on it" and this reviewer will have to agree. Robyn proves yet again why she remains Sweden's top selling female artist and why this album sold so well in England and the rest of Europe.

Mr. Poopy Butthole
4 of 4 found this helpful There is literally a character in two episodes whose proper name is "Mr. Poopy Butthole." If you believe that the Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park have pushed the Envelope as far as they can POSSIBLY go, then you've obviously NOT seen Justin Roiland's Rick and Morty. Imagine an R rated "Back to the Future" if Doc Brown were a misanthrope and Marty McFly was utterly dim witted and you have the adventures of the smartest person in the Universe Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty. Rick and Morty's adventures take place in various places in time and space and involve sex, violence, drugs, espionage, and conquest of the universe set amid a seemly normal dysfunctional nuclear family. Rick's hijinx and one liners alone make the series worth watching, but the addition of his family and various characters he's met over years of interstellar travel make this worth watching. This show is DEFINITELY PG-13. Anyone younger than 13 might not be ready for the VERY adult themes and language.

The "Incident" we'll agree to never discuss
2 of 6 found this helpful In the early 90's the Seattle grunge sound was EVERYWHERE. Heavy metal as a form of music was making it's graceful exit stage left as Punk, Disco, Easy Listening, Psychedelic, Acid Rock, Rock-a-billy and Doo-wop had before it. Metallica had cut their hair, Mötley Crüe had settled into resting on their laurels, marrying models and getting fat, but Guns and Roses had elected to put forth one last valiant effort in the name of heavy metal that effort was The Spaghetti Incident?
Guns and Roses grew more controversial with each album. With Appetite for Destruction they offended many women's groups with what many considered horrifically violent and misogynistic lyrics. On their Lies EP the offended police officers, blacks (even though lead guitarist's Slash is half black) immigrants, homosexuals, religious types, "Small Town White boys trying to make ends meet" and EVEN RACIST. The negative press made the EP go platinum.
With the release of Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 Guns and Roses could have gone out on top with a brilliant effort that would and should have been heavy metal's swan song...but unfortunately...they didn't. The Spaghetti Incident is 12 forgettable tracks that make it apparent that Izzy Stradlin had left the band during the recording of the Use Your Illusion albums and Axl Rose's ego was a dead rat floating in the creative punch that was the band. There isn't a single track on the album WORTH mentioning. The closest to a single on the album was the cover of "Hair of the Dog". This album proved to be Guns N' Roses LAST album before Axl went to prison (for spousal battery not THIS ABYSMAL album) and every other member of the group elected to "sell" Axl the rights to the name "Guns N' Roses". In short this album would make an excellent gag gift for the true heavy metal aficionado, a coaster for the guest who keeps ruining your tables or perhaps a great skeet target.
It's the type of album that should be played as a form of torture to suspected terrorists. Listening to it in a third floor apartment, one might be tempted to leap from a balcony to escape this CD rather than traveling the 5 feet between one's self and the stereo that would allow you to simply ejected it. It's the kind of album that could make one run screaming into the night weeping in dispair. An album not worthy of purchase, listening to or even glancing at in a CD bargain bin. If you see a copy of this CD in a garage sale...AVERT YOUR GAZE!
