Uffie's First Studio Album, 'Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans' Coming Soon!

Yes, that's right! What we've all been waiting for ever since we first heard Uffie pop the glock and get drunk and freaky fly is finally here! Well...IT WILL BE SOON! Uffie just recently posted via Facebook links for the pre-ordering of her new album and release dates for the UK (iTunes: http://bit.ly/daAnpk) (Amazon: http://amzn.to/dfZf63) and France (iTunes: http://bit.ly/9G8iVh) (Amazon: http://amzn.to/bX7F6s). It's available for pre-order in the US, but only on Amazon (http://amzn.to/dcEFop), and unfortunately not with the cute little exclusive denim sleeve! Anyway, here are the release dates for the album:

United Kingdom: June 14, 2010
France: June 14, 2010
United States: June 22, 2010

DAMN! We don't get the denim sleeve AND we have to wait until June 22! Come ON, Uffie! Well, it will be worth the wait, trust me! :)

Hailie Wallas!

Today I got a random friend request from a girl named Hailie Wallas. We had no mutual friends, so I decided to check out her profile. It said she was a musician, so I looked at her music on her MySpace page. Guess what? IT'S FREAKING AMAZING. She's French, I believe, and her music reminds me a lot of Uffie's. I know I probably sound like a total hypocrite right now since I'm always bashing Ke$ha for ripping off Uffie, but I don't know, I just really like this Hailie Wallas girl. I mean, I don't even know whether her or Uffie came first, anyway. I mean, Uffie's not the ONLY white girl rapper, right? And they're definitely both better than Ke$ha, for one thing. So, I guess it comes down to if you like Uffie, I suggest you check out Hailie Wallas. Her music isn't available on iTunes at the moment, but you can listen to it at http://www.myspace.com/callmehailie. Happy listening!

ALE-ALEJANDRO!

Okay, you've probably ALL heard Lady GaGa's newest single from The Fame Monster, 'Alejandro'! Pretty awesome, eh, eh? ANYWAYS, just wanted to let you guys know that Lady GaGa just released a remix EP for Alejandro today! I didn't like any of them except for the Skrillex remix (I LOVE Skrillex! He did an AWESOME Bad Romance remix!) and the Sound of Arrows remix. They're both AMAZING. Hope you guys give 'em a listen, and the original song, too, if you haven't already heard it! Stay tuned for more info about when the video will be released! The only thing she's said so far is that it's NOT the sequel to the 'Telephone' video, but I'm sure she'll be talking more about it soon! ;)

'California Gurls', Katy Perry's New Single!

The wonderful Katy Perry has FINALLY released a new single! It's called 'California Gurls', featuring Snoop Dogg. Now, I honestly don't like Snoop Dogg all that much, but I kind of have some respect for him since he's been around for so long. He's not THAT bad in the song. I have to say, the lyrics seem a bit stereotypical or commercial-like, but it's still really catchy and fun, definitely sounds like the perfect beach party song. Also, the melody does sound a LOT like Ke$ha's 'TiK ToK', but I am NOT defending Ke$ha for being possibly ripped off, because she totally ripped off Uffie for that song, anyway. Overall, it's a pretty good song, I've been listening to it on repeat for quite a bit now. The album artwork is really cool, too! It looks like really cool postcard. So, if you like Katy, definitely check out her new song! I'm hoping you won't be disappointed :D

EDIT----------------
Okay, sorry, but I don't like these lyrics at all. After really listening to it, I just...ehhh. Snoop Dogg's rap is really perverted, and the rest of the lyrics make girls from California sound like a bunch of tan sluts who live on the beach and have sex in jeeps. BUT WHY CAN'T I STOP LISTENING TO IT?! HELP ME!

VV Brown @ The Troubadour Concert Review!

HELLS YEAHHH. VV Brown was freaking AMAZING last night. It wasn't my IDEAL concert experience, since that morning I fell ill and thought I wouldn't be going, but I actually made a strange recovery around 6:30 PM, and I decided to go, hoping I wouldn't get sick while I was there :S Turns out I didn't, and it was SO MUCH FUN. Although we missed the opening act, Darrelle London (sob), I got there in time to see VV Brown (we got there fifteen minutes after she started her set), AND I got to see her play all three of my favorite songs by her--Crying Blood, Leave!, and Shark in the Water! She also played a few other great songs off her album (which I sadly do not have yet, GRRR!) and she had a great band, with a horns section and everything! Afterwards, I forced my dad to wait with me at the back of the building to wait to meet her, but it turned out she was inside taking pics with fans and signing autographs, so we ran around to the front and I got there just in time to meet her! She was really nice! I took a picture with her, and I also walked away with some free buttons and a free poster! It was a really fun night and I'm so glad I got to go! Although now I'm a bit ill again...

Can't Be Tamed, Can Be Shamed

OY. Have you guys seen Miley Cyrus' new video?! Watching it made me genuinely sad. I think Miley's traveled over to the dark side for good. Anyway, her newest video for her new single, 'Can't Be Tamed', just has awful written all over it. I'm sorry, Miley fans, but really? The video features Miley portrayed as some sort of exotic endangered species of a giant black bird (or as I like to call it, THE MILEY BIRD LADY!) being shown off at a museum (with a 40's-looking audience that looks like a mix of Lady GaGa clones and clean-looking men in suits), but when someone tries to take a photo of her, she hides away, and ALL OF A SUDDEN, a bunch of bird-and-other-strange-animal dancers appear out of no where, causing the audience to run away in fear. Now, before I continue, let me note how ridiculously slutty Miley's outfit is. It looks like some sort of leather leotard (much too tight) with a bunch of feathers and straps dangling off her, giant bird claw-feather gloves for hands, and just about the biggest Bump-It I have EVER seen in her hair. It may have been bigger than Snooki's. Now, I did like the outfits of the other dancers, I have to say. I mean, the whole thing was quite a GaGa-wannabe show, but it doesn't mean the outfits weren't nice (well, except for Miley's bird-lady shindig). I liked the animal dancer outfits, and in a few shots, Miley was lying in peacock feathers with this scaly strapless dress thing that was really pretty, although the weird metal glove-ish thing she had on almost ruined it. Anywho, the rest of the video was mostly just her prancing around the museum performing some pretty slutty dance moves while sporting a REALLY angry face. But enough about the outfits and all, now, THE SONG. The song basically sounded like a really conceited song about, well, being a slut. Let me show you with a few of the lyrics--

"For those who don’t know me, I can get a bit crazy
Have to get my way, 24 hours a day
‘Cause I’m hot like that
Every guy everywhere just gives me mad attention
Like I’m under inspection, I always get the 10s
‘Cause I’m built like that

I go through guys like money flyin’ out their hands
They try to change me but they realize they can’t
And every tomorrow is a day I never planned
If you’re gonna be my man, understand"

Are your eyes and ears bleeding yet? Honestly, it's really sad that Miley's going down this road. I mean, I'm totally cool with her trying to break out of the whole Hannah Montana image and everything, but that doesn't mean she needs to write songs like this OR make videos like this. I do think it's a bit wrong to keep bashing Miley for not being a role model, like being a role model is her job. Her job is to be a musician, not to influence every individual girl ages five and up to make the right decisions in life. It's not her responsibility. It's the parents', if any. They can't just put their child's life in the hands of a pop star's influence. With that being said, I still think she needs to maintain a good image. I'm not saying she has to be a nun, but I don't want her to end up like Lindsay Lohan or something, where the moment someone says her name, you automatically think of the words 'slut', 'alcoholic', or 'junkie'. When people think 'Miley', people should think of fun music, a cool girl that has some decent pipes and has music that's appreciated by all ages. Miley's trying too hard. She just needs to be herself, I mean, that's what got everyone to love her in the first place. I can't say this in total truth because I don't know her personally, but I don't think this is her. Come on, Miley, you can still save yourself!
