Song of the Day - Namie Amuro: Namie's Style

Namie Amuro, for those that aren't aware, is an artist with a long, storied career that dates back to the early nineties when she was just a teen. She was once called the Teen Queen of Japan, and long before Ayumi Hamasaki hit the stage, the Queen of Japanaese Pop.


...And for this particular album she said "Fuck all that", and decided to hit us with a mix of R&B, a little hip-hop, and even a bit of rock with the track As Good As It Gets. Personally, I loved it, and while I believe not many espouse this opinion, I found this album to be a whole lot better than her second, more popish outing, Queen of Hip-Pop. (Something totally not attractive about any girl in any song talking about "popping her coochie"....could just be me. Whatevs.)

Namie's Style is the first track off Style, kinda reminds me of some Missy Elliot stuff from the late 90's with the beat and the way she's singing.

Bottom of the Pile: Apr. 8, 2015

Astro City As usual, Kurt Busiek's Astro City is creatively solid--following a superhero who's made his home on an alien planet, and has to learn to accept when it's time to hand the job over to the next generation.  It's almost the opposite of what happened with Crackerjack and Quarrel.  That said: I've been a denizen of the interwebs for nearly two decades now, and this still might be a strong contender for grossest sexual advance ever.
