The Reviews are IN!

Cold War Kids - Loyalty to Loyalty (3 / 5 stars)

Classic CWK...still sparse, still a bit unusual with those weird time changes that take a bit of getting used to. And, oh yeah, Nathan still WAILS.

Stand-outs: Dreams Old Men Dream, Against Privacy, Every Man I Fall For

Jenny Lewis - Acid Tongue (4 / 5 stars)

In short, no sophmore slump can be seem for miles.

When Rabbit Fur Coat came out I said that Jenny found God. I now realize that she's probably been leaning on him for a long time. The album is a little bit gospel, a little country, a little pop, a little rock.

Stand-outs: Trying My Best To Love You, Bad Man's World, The Next Messiah (clocking in at over 8 minutes...and actually more than 1 song fused together)

Are you watching Project Runway?

Thank God Suede is gone. It annoyed the living crap out of me that he consistently referred to himself in the 3rd person. And yes, I am willing to admit that it took me 2 or 3 episodes to realize he was talking about himself because I didn't know who Suede was.

Stella Barbarella.....AWWW, leatha.

I am generally not a violent person but I need someone (ANYONE!) to make Kenley disappear. That heifer works my last nerve. She is incredibly rude, insolent, childish, and she can not take criticism in any form. She flat out laughs at other designers and then has the nerve to say that Tim "doesn't get her as a designer". I don't want to say "die, bitch, die", but I'll be thinking it.

I can't believe that someone trying to break into an industry would flat out be rude to the people that are the reigning king and queen. I do understand that reality TV can edit in such a way as to make you look like more of an ass than you actually are, but I don't believe this is the case here (although they do have a lot to work with).

Korto has been my favorite since day 1. She just makes beautiful, wearable clothes. Project Rungay has pics up of the collections from Bryant Park.

I think Korto has this one in the bag, but Leanne and Jerell are not far behind.

Speaking of assholes (I'm still referring to Kenley); shut up Elisabeth:



I loathe this woman, and as much as it pains me to admit it I still have to respect that she gets up every morning and goes to a job where she knows people will ridicule her and call her uneducated and out of touch with reality.
