Woe Is Bubble Yum

1. Correction to the latest jukebox, that of course is "chewin' on a dick like a piece of Bubble Yum," not "bubblegum." Or maybe they say both. I still think it's stupid. I misused the word "irreverent" in that Ciara bit (no idea which word I was actually thinking of). The rest of my intentionally wheezy Trace Adkins blurb was cut (had a feeling it might be), and it is now much snappier. Also, I would refute the assertion that "Swing" is about how "if you drunkenly hit on enough people you’ll eventually find someone even drunker to drag home," as Joseph McCombs has suggested. The key is that the "home run" woman approaches him after he's clearly made a fool of himself all night. It seems to be more about shame and pity and then lying to your friends about it afterwards with vague baseball metaphors and then writing a song about it.

2. I nicked an idea from Jessica Poptastic and added a playlist to the sidebar (shock: there's overlap!). I'll turn it off auto soon, because as soon as the guitar starts up I have to keep the page up until the song is over. If ya hadn't noticed, that's my top ten so far in order. I'll basically just keep adding songs as I upload them.

3. Haven't mentioned this clip of "I've Got Nerve," a new Miley song that apparently won't be the next single going for airplay on Radio Disney (that would be this one). It's probably as close to Hilary Duff as she's gotten, no remaining traces of country, though. I'd love to know who's writing all this stuff -- I could imagine Lindsay singing this one ("Nerve").

4. And of course as I say that I check RD online and see that "Pump Up the Party" is at #19 in its first week eligible while "I've Got Nerve" is at NUMBER TWO on daily voting without being officially introduced into the playlist. Which might mean it will be released as a single soon.
