Read this Rolling Stone article on the subway this morning and it was the best writing I've seen in a long time. I can't stand the way most journalists write.(sorry journalists but you're all a little flowery-wordy and not in a good way, more like in a Drew Barrymore yikes way) Now I'm obsessed with Rob Sheffield's writing. Post morning-coffee-googlestalk, have decided am now going to read his book Love is a Mix Tape. It's so up my mixtape alley!!!!! How did I miss this when it came out? What was I doing in 2007??
Anyway here are my fave excerpts from amaz article about Adam GLAMBERT (who is totally awesome and I can't wait for tonight):
"American Idol" is back on top, and it's all one little black-leather-clad demon prince's fault.
For the past few seasons, Idol seemed to be dying of boredom, but Adam Lambert, a goth studlet with mascara, black nail polish and a falsetto from deep in the larynx of Lucifer, has single-handedly rescued the franchise.
Adam's flamboyance shows that he knows exactly what he's doing. He rocks his fingerless black gloves and his lesbian wallet chain (how riot-grrrl is he?) and doesn't seem the least bit nervous about being who he is - he's like a younger, sluttier Tim Gunn.
That's the job Glambert shows when he sings, doing Elvis upper-lip curl as a hint that something cosmically freaky is about to happen.
Give this man the word "wild," "burns" or "feelin'," and he will hand it back to you full of puncture wounds.
Rob Sheffield you are a rock-word genius!!! I salute you!
