i know what you're all thinking, two posts in a day AND country music ?? score! and you're right, it's a stellar day. my overactive mind is trying to digest all these crazy thoughts uni has stuck in my head. so many news things to contend with! so, to wind down, i've obviously been listening to fem-rock! woo.
miranda lambert is a country singer, which means that i should not know who she is. but i found this song on a paste music sampler last year and it's FRESH, dude. soo soo good. in the tradition of goodbye, earl by the dixie chicks but really truly good musically. check it. respect it. i love her! it's called gunpowder and lead. i can't embed the video, so check it out here.
surely i had to include the song to which i referred above... i prefer the me first and the gimme gimmes version, though.
and since we're doing fem-rock country songs, i would like to give carrie underwood a mention. i love this song.....
who doesn't enjoy something a little less than musically acceptable from time to time? oh cmon, like you don't own a copy of dance hit '93. YES YOU DO. LIAR. anywho. i know that i indulge in crap here and there. at least i'm HONEST. geez. that's right, beyonce, timberlake, sugababes, that's nothin. robbie williams? the man covers sinatra for god's sake. nothing to be ashamed of. but there is some stuff i am ashamed of. mostly because it's actually not ironic nor is it good. these are my... DUM DUM DUMMM... guilty pleasures.
aww. matchbox twenty. my most embarrassing musical indulgence thusfar. i mean, i can't be held accountable for music i enjoyed before the age of 16, but this shit is like... still liked by me. i'm not crazy, i'm just a little unwell! ohh gawwwd, it's bad. and don't you just want to punch rob thomas in the eye? he's such a douche-us. but still, for some weird reason, i like a lot of his shit. sorry, man. can't help it. IT"S CATCHY FOR PETE'S SAKE.
oh, my sweet dixie chicks. they're so cute! and adorable! and special! they hate dubya (who doesn't? oh right, all those weird american folk who voted for him - crazy christians) AND they write catchy new country. wowzas. and natalie maines can sing - you can't deny it. this song, goodbye earl, is pretty countryish, which i don't like, but me first and the gimme gimmes did a really good cover of it! awww dixie chicks. such a soft spot in my heart for them. they're pro-girl and pro "taking the long road." AWW
no one doesn't like this song. if you say you don't like this song, you're a liar. like henry rollins says, YOU"RE A LIAR!! and i really like the short film in this clip. it shows how painful love can be. and you deserve more! yes you DO. stupid carnie, with her gastric bypass
NOW! go forth and share your guilty pleasures. if you dare, you cowards!!
