Songs of the Week: 9 April 2006 by candv

Dan:
Truman Capote - “In Cold Blood”
So it’s not really a song. It’s a book. But it’s one of the crowning works of American literature, “In Cold Blood.” I just listened to this (14 hour) audio book on my 24 hour long drive to Austin, TX… and it’s absolutely gripping. Buy the book. Buy the audio book. Do whatever it is you do to read this book. It’s flat out incredible.

Nate:
Against Me! - “Pints of Guiness Make You Strong”
The first song off “Reinventing Axl Rose,” the first major album from Against Me!, is a hell of a kick in the pants. Tom Gabel’s voice sounds like he’s been gargling steel wool for about 5 years. The guitar slices with this phenomenal, Southwest “sit down right there and I’m going to tell you a story.” And the drums kind of say “Welcome to punk, kids. We are unabashed and brazen.” But behind this brash exterior, there is a story of death and love and showing the world that we are to be reckoned with. This is no indifference. This is not asinine fashionable boredom. This is passionate and gripping. Praise the heavens for Against Me!

Mandisa Axed To Leave by amit

Last night a large but skinny portion of American voted off idol favorite Mandisa Hundley (better known as Grimace) from the remaining six Idol contestants. Now that she’s jobless, Mandisa took some time off to speak with People magazine’s Monica Rizzo about her 14 minutes and 57 seconds of fame. Regrettably, after Rizzo asked the hard hitting questions the unisex celebrity rag edited most of Mandisa’s compelling answers. Our readers know we’d be remiss if we let the full story slip by. So, our C&V news print media correspondents contacted Monica and she graciously coughed up the entire interview transcript. Thanks Mo Mo for the exclusive!

You’ve been compared to season two winner Ruben Studdard. How do you feel about that?

I love Ruben, so I’ll take it. I think there’s a little double standard when it comes to [biggie sized] males compared to [super sized] females. [C'mon we're two different people, with different vocal ranges and fast food tastes. He likes Wendy's, and I'm all about Mc'Donalds]….Tell Ruben to call me [tomorrow so we can do lunch, siesta, a snack, dinner and a midnight snack....oh and dessert.]

Does that mean you have a little crush on Ruben?

Yeah, I do. He’s got to call me. I’m not going to call him. [This Chinese take-out can't deliver the MuShu 'less Ruben picks up the phone.]

As a confident plus-size woman, you’ve become a role model to your fans. What’s that like?
Ã¢â‚¬Â¨It’s so humbling. I didn’t set out to be a role model Ã¢â‚¬â€œ I was just being me. [Paula kept slurring, "If singing doesn't work out, you'll be a beautiful backup singer." I was so touched. But then Simon ruined the moment by adding "Or an entire orchestra". That night, I never cried and ate more peanut butter M&M's in my entire life.]

I heard you sucked your thumb for 24 years.
Ã¢â‚¬Â¨I think it has affected my teeth, but I don’t think it’s affected my voice too much. [Plus, if your thumb tasted like cotton candy, like mine, you would too.]

[That's gross.]
[Lick it bitch.]

Seacrest “out”, proud and into women’s shoes.

And now Mandisa goes golfing with her fast food buddies.

C&V Loves Midgets by dan

Midgets, little people, or santa’s helpers (as well call them) may be 3 ft tall, but they’re causing a life-sized, 6 foot tall ruckus with Mrs. Britney “Trash” Spears. The clamor arose over Spears hiring the pint-sized ankle biters to dress up like Sonny Bono and dance for K-fed’s birthday. Here’s what the midgets are saying:

“It is wicked to hurl abuse at anyone of diminished height simply because they are small.”

We here at Celluloid and Vinyl agree with the vertically-challenged misfits and are deeply enraged with Spears over her tasteless use of child-sized men. The midget continues:

“We know dwarves and midgets who are immense in stature because of their talent. Mostly they are able to rise above any insults. But inevitably, feelings are hurt by nasty comments.”

Ya think they need a step ladder to rise above those insults? BOOYA, midgets! Got ya!… But, in all seriousness, let’s take a moment to celebrate great moments in midget history. Come, let’s stroll down memory lane.
