"do i really have to..." by Amber
do i really have to spell to you how ive felt for too long
doesnt matter anyway
im married and your gone
better off without you
better off without your face
better off without passion
better off without disgrace
im pullin the plug on heartache
and novels of what if
not fillin my mind with thoughts of you
this life ive got to live
so im not gonna spell for you
what you put me through
god as my confidant im
better off without you

THEMUSICALREVOLUTION.COM THIS MONTH: Check this out: MUSREV.com - I finally figured out how to put that little icon in the search bar. See the little spindle icon (?browser?)? Drag that to your bookmarks and - BOOM!!! - You're revolutioniZed!! LOL! I know - "Small things..."
EDITORIAL:
If you don't know how I feel about awards shows, here's a refresher, "How far does it go until the Grammy's don't matter at all? Is it there already? It's almost like watching a live wire act where the performer is on a 3 foot wide wire, 2 feet from the ground with her/his manager, agent, lawyer and entire promotions company holding his/her hand. WHO CARES?" MN (ed. 18, Mar/06) - http://www.themusicalrevolution.com/weblog/monthly_newsletters/index.html
So, you can imagine that the farce that the current awards show season is becoming doesn't bother me at all.
Certain shows are expendable while others go on without a hitch. Certain stars stand up and be counted, "for the writers", at one show then creep in the next. The big shows have all of this speculation around them, all the time creating this pseudo-buzz. O....K!!!
Here's my (not so bold) prediction: The Gramaphones and the Academy Awards will go on WITHOUT A HITCH! AND. More idiots will watch them because they heard sooo much about them in the news. And the rest of us will just smile and read a book because it's all sooo transparent these days in the fakeR world of corporate entertainment.
So, there it is. My yearly "Award Show" rant. I know - silly isn't it. We got it (like) 20 years ago! But, here's where I promise a change.
Next year, I'ma gonna stage my own Music Awards Show -- to coincide with the Grammys too ;) The nominees will be actually picked by you, the people. The winners will be as well. And, the prizes will be 'actual legitimacy' - something that of all these corporate stars must be craving by now. YEAH! Do you feel that? LOL!
Love,
Mattyy
MUSIC NEWS:
1. RADIOHEAD CHART AT #1 - GIVE FREE SHOW: The band's new album, "In Rainbows" hit the top of the U.K. charts in this past month. To celebrate, London got a surprise free show. *Evil laugh* It's all happening just as I predicted - MN 40: http://www.themusicalrevolution.com/weblog/monthly_newsletters/index.html
2. MADONNA VISITS MUMBAI SLUMS: Maybe the self proclaimed material girl just wants to see how the other half(?) lives? Maybe she isn't so material after all? Either way, I really hope her children take a few lessons away from India - for their/our sakes ;S
3. EMI U.K. DOWNSIZES: It is always sad when 2,000 people lose their jobs. But, when you work for the devil... ;)!
4. DO YOU CARE?: Well, let's get the obvious NOIZE outta the way. Ok OK! Britney's FREakIn' MELTED, Amy's a drunken ho and I doubt that we'll ever find out what happened to poor Heath Ledger - Damn FDA! All that aside... What's this I hear? Dr. Dre is designing a pair of headphones? Let me guess.. They'll be made of hemp and only play songs from "Mothership Connection"... So it looks like Donda West's plastic surgeon is off the hook. And, he gets to write a tell-all book which will make him millions! Whatta werld!.. "Headlines.. here's your HEADLINES!" Buy 50 cent condoMs? WoooOOOHHHHHH.. Oh? Buy 50 cent's overpriced condoms - DAMN! LOL!.. This is great! Lynsey Lohan is going to be working in a morgue as part of her community service. Finally, a captive audience :D.. Say it ain't so! NKOTB are reunItinG :S The mother of all ShitShows is back in motion. Isn't that the eighth sign of the apocolyPse? "...And five pink horsies will sashay across the globe..." LMFAO... Weiland and STP - back together on the same stage. *Sings* "And I feel that time's a wasted go, so where ya going to tommorrow? And I see that these are lies to come. Would you even care?"... *Sings* "Bye bye love. Bye bye happiness, hello loneliness -- I think I'm-a gonna cry-y. Goodbye my love goodbye."
