This week sucks

I've had the most nothingness of a week. It has lacked in all definition and substance, hence the lack of posting; there has been nothing for me to say, comment on, or remark about. Sorry A!

Get on some illegal P2P network and find Britney's new song. When it's released go and buy it from the iTunes store or something to cover your ass. It's fun. It would also be very easy to dance to in an inconsistent and yet effusive way.

ME AGAINST THE MUSIC
It's got madonna being sultry, spitting out lyrics, and a superb beat. The song isn't overly drawn out, but seems to have an 'appropriate' edge and variety to it. There is the constant risk in pop music of falling into the trap of repeating lyrics too much, thankfully this doesn't happen here. After two and a half minutes, the song splits into a madonna-rap celebration. Love it.
This is something I always wonder about - whether the 'artist' themselves comes up with these beats or if it's the producers. I heard an interview with JUSTIN a while ago that consisted of him largely saying how Pharrell would 'lay down the beat' and in one session JT would come up with the lyrics and tune. OF course there's still a lot of skill involved doing that, and I'm not presuming either of those actions are easy, I just like to establish who is doing what.
Head over to britneyspears.com and listen to the mix of 'Boys' in the music listening thing top right. That's a funky mix. Nothin on 'Me against the music' yet, but hey.. The listening 'station' that the record company provides there really emphasises how Britney has come from a very pop based platfrom and is attempting to shift into a more raw rocky market. Odd that the website still emphasises the former self - are they not paying attention to the web as a vector for sales and more importantly, buzz.
