Threatmantics are a scruffy Welsh rock trio that throw some wrinkles into the scruffy rock formula: Instead of a lead guitarist, they have a lead John Cale viola, and their drummer does double-time with a keyboard. The two guys mixing...

I dunno -- it's like two extremes. I love Whatcha Waiting For but Harajuku Girls is just soooooo bad it's evil.

I was crazy enough to stand out in the 30 degree weather last night in front of TRL screaming my head off for her. Haha, maybe I wasn't that crazy but she did look and wave at me, because I had a giant sign that read: "It's Cold Out Here, let me in!" hahah.... no luck there.

Got some 30 second clips of songs off of Limewire:
--Hollaback, Girl--
I heard that you were talkin shit

People hear you talkin like that
Gettin everybody fired up
So I'm ready to attack
Gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touch down
Gonna take you out

Gettin everybody fired up
Few times I been around that chase
--Rich Girl--
Rich giiiiiiiiiirl
Come on impress me
My cash flow will never ever end
Cause I'd have all the money in the world
If I was a wealthy giiiiiiiiiiirl
Think what that money could bring
I'd buy everything

At least Gwen isn't selling out. She's being creative and different. I have to admit ti is sometimes a little strange but you have to give her respect for taking such big risks. Something has to happen to pull music out of the horrible R&B/Rap shithole it has turned into. Gwen seems like she is at least trying to put types of music together that haven't been mixed before. I love the outfits she's been sporting, ridiculous but fun. Who really cares what she wears? Gwen would look good even if she was dressed in a trash bag.

I don't know why everyone keeps telling her to "find her band", she's still the lead singer of No Doubt, it's called a "solo project". It's a creative outlet for her. She writes half of No Doubts songs, and she wrote most of her solo album too. If you don't like this, how can you like NO Doubt?

Her record is different from previous records with her band, but isn't that the point of going solo? I don't consider this creative project a failure by any means. A failure is when you don't have the balls to try something new. (Nick Lachey and that dark haired loser from 'N sync are perfect examples of people who failed to find their own voice- at least Gwen is trying to be original.
