Why people still buy his music is beyond me.

People boycott things for far stupider reasons, yet this guy gets a pass? I'm sorry, but that is NOT something I can even begin to tolerate.

At least Kanye is hilariously douchey. Chris Brown's tantrums are just hard to watch.

Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby. Something in TV Tropes really drove me crazy.

[up][up]Does Kanye physically assault people and show no remorse for it?

[up] Not that I know of, but I fail to see how that implies he deserves a free pass.

Well, why do you feel he should be boycotted?

[up] I was referring to stuff like the Taylor Swift incident, his recent Grammys rant, "George Bush doesn't care about black people", etc. Maybe not "boycott", but they should certainly be acknowledged.

The thing is that Kanye is a bit of a pompous douche, but he has genuinely redeeming factors (such as his obvious affection for his wife and daughter) while Chris Brown just seems like an utter son of a bitch.

[up] Sounds about right. "Boycott" might not be the right word.

He's outspoken and maybe not the most socially adept, that's probably the best way I could put it.

I mean, artists are artists. They're given a lot of free passes because of that. I personally do not care whatever the artists might do in their personal lives, as I try to keep the art separated from the artists.

That said, Brown is an irritating douche both in- and outside his music, so he can go sing "Look At Me Now" while jumping off the Grand Canyon for all I care.

Yeah, pretty much that, though "free pass" seems a bit overstating it. misread at first.

Florence + the Machine's *How Big How Blue How Beautiful* has leaked today, only one day before its Germany release tomorrow. I'm impressed that the album stayed locked up for that long, even though it has been finished since February.

I have a feeling that it follows a thematic arc.

Is the German version in German? (Sorry if that's a stupid question)

Are most albums translated when released in different countries?

Given the habit of Middle European countries to localize everything, I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened.

I want to like "Worth It", but I just can't. The trumpets give me bad "Talk Dirty" flashbacks.

But the horn instrument in "Talk Dirty" is a saxophone.

Maybe they're not trumpets. It still sounds way too similar.

As someone who just took a class last semester on jazz music, saying trumpets and saxophones sound similar pains me.

"Worth It" should have a sax, since one of the producers is a saxophonist, and probably enjoys all the horns in hit songs.

Also, it doesn't sound like "Trumpets".

Anybody remember Lip Gloss? Or whatever that other single was called.
Anyway, damning by faint praise perhaps but beyond the chorus this wasn't even half as embarrassing as I thought it would be.
