I don’t generally have a problem with tacky blowjob jokes, but the Kid Cudi Poke Her Face song, Lady GaGa sample and all, is basically the dumbest piece of crap I’ve heard in my life. It would be kind of funny if Cudi, or his listeners, were a seventh-grader, but otherwise it’s just unforgivably bad. Particularly since he samples the acoustic version of the song for no reason whatsoever.
It’s on Kanye West’s blog, which I only know because Camp GaGa put up a Myspace bulletin about it.
In other, better news, Sam Phillips has a free new single available on her website; it’s called A Piece Of My Bright Side and it’s just lovely. Even better, though: she’s selling a limited run of handmade books, also called A Piece of My Bright Side. On the downside, though, they’re thirty-five bucks each, which is kind of a lot.
Oh, and bad news on the Margaret Berger front: her album got scrapped and she won’t have a single out until at least the fall. But at least we’ll finally have new Annie to tide us over; Anthonio was the song of the day over on Popjustice recently and the 40-second sample sounds exciting. Not necessarily worth-the-wait exciting, but whatever.

Guess we won’t agree because I think Cudi’s track is 1) hilarious, 2) a rather smart way to capitalise on the success of Lady “I’m not wearing underpants but it’s art!!!” CaCa. It *is* a bunch of stoned seventh-graders having fun. It doesn’t try to pretend it is mayjah art or that it will change the world.
Comment by Ray April 7, 2009 @ 2:49 amsorry Ray, you are wrong, and i kinda agree with Autonomy Boy :)…these boys are jealous of the genius of what is “Lady Gaga” a UK and USA #1 with her first two singles, at the same time!!..and already Oz #1′s in 2008!
I can laugh at it, but it shows a poor man to diss pop music….
“this beat is sick, i wanna take a ride on your disco stick!”
p.s how good is Anthonio, love to you Annie!!
