Music is my Heroin...Tunes to Groove by. Version 0.1

Yes, you read it right boys and girls, I've decided to start "Tunes to Groove by..." up again. Enjoy.

I know I will.




Current album: Love, Angel, Music, Baby.

Artist: Gwen Stefani

Genre: "Alternative"



The princess of Punk-Pop, has ventured away from her No Doubt origins to create her first Solo release, "Love, Angel, Music, Baby."

Nevermind that Gwen is a Fox and a half, with a petite frame, bloodred lips, immaculate skin, Barbie bleached hair, and rack that I would DIE for, but her music is catchy.

Beyond catchy.

That Bitch!

Collaborating with Hip-Hop genius Dr. Dre, in "Rich Girl" (And don't THINK I didn't notice that it was a sampling of "If I Was A Rich Man," from "Fiddler on the Roof" there, Dre!) Originally this fact pissed me off beyond belief. However, I honestly have immeasurable respect for Dre, and his mastery of Hip-Hop. The more I listened to this song (being that it's played on "The Beat" every morning when I wake up...) and for some reason I can't explain properly, the staccato piano punctuation in it is VERY appealing to me.

Eve cleans up the house with her smooth rapping.

Noice and toight.

Gwen also collaborates with the creative monstrosity known as The Neptunes in "Hollaback Girl." Which sounds like one big long Cheerleader routine, except for the fact that she's telling some asshole that's been badmouthing her to meet her behind the bleachers so she can clean his clock, instead of his pipes. I've found myself belting along with it at the bus stop.

It's not like I care if people hear me. I'm not tone deaf. Even wearing my headphones when they are cranked at full volume.

And no, I didn't skip the other song I liked, being "What Are You Waiting For?" Where, from what it sounds like to me, Gwen is berating herself from being scared to put out a new album and to get her arse in gear. Because she's "still a super hot female." Fuck yeah.

This song was played at Sincity on Saturday night. and was very fun to dance to, even in stilettos.

Gwen seems to have an obsession with the Harajuku Girls of Japan, who take fashions that would normally only be worn AT fetish events (for instance the outfits worn by Liser(Betty Boop) and Allison(1940's sailor girl) commingled with freaky-deaky gothic shite, and wearing them as everyday fashion out in the streets.

Frankly, I find that incredibly hot, and apparently so does Ms. Stefani.

I give "Love, Angel, Music, Baby" a rating of Four out of Five Glamazon Shoes.

A worthwhile purchase indeed.
