Not gonna lie, I wasn’t too enamored with the new Lily Allen album. Maybe she passed her prime for me? I loved Alright Still when it came up, and some of those jams still get me in the right mood.
(Though, to give credit where it’s due, I’ve got to add that the video for Fuck You was amazing.)
Anyway, Chicagoist pointed me to Dr. Rosen Rosen’s re-edits of It’s Not Me, It’s You (aptly re-titled It’s Not Me, It’s Dr. Rosen Rosen). It’s really what I was hoping for — a maturation of Lily’s sound, not just her lyrics. You can download it (for free) from his website up top.
Now here’s where I’m tempted to talk about the nature of sophomore albums, or how online culture has made remixing/remaking songs to how you would imagine them available to anyone with a halfway decent computer. But that’s kind of cliché, and I’m not in the mood to talk about that.
Instead, I’ll just say how amazing it is to do things in your underwear. Seriously, I spent a lot of today hanging out in my apartment, wearing pretty much nothing at all. I ate a peanut butter sandwich that way, and it was the best peanut butter sandwich I’ve ever had. Probably because of my limited clothing, because there was nothing really special done to it.
I’ve fried bacon in the same manner, and maybe it wasn’t the tastiest bacon I’ve ever had, but it was damn sure the most fun I’ve ever had preparing bacon. Ever.
Got a problem with me being under-clothed? Fuck you. Fuck you very very much. Unless, of course, you’re my apartment-mate, and you walk in while I’m at the stove in my well-worn skivvies.
