Welcome To Heartbreak


New laptop (courtesy of Mike and Maggie). New music (courtesy of torrentz.com, so sue me). New sense of disappointment and regret (courtesy of Kanye West's new album 808s and Heartbreaks).

This CD is probably the worst thing I've ever come across. I think it might be a prank. I'm pretty sure that either Kayne is singing (rather than rapping) the entire thing in a distorted voice that sounds exactly like Lil' Wayne, or that Lil' Wayne put the entire album together and released it in Kayne's name.

Either way the thing is a bad Usher CD. Please, oh please, if anyone out there has had the strength to listen to the whole album refer me to the track that will prove me wrong.

Also, it turns out I'm so culturally out of step these days that I didn't realize Viva La Hova wasn't an official album, and was angry when I couldn't buy it on iTunes. Turns out the only music I was willing to download legally today is the only music that is only available illegally.

Let's hope Jay-Z can bring me back from this state of utter musical/emotional impotence that Kayne's pseudo-R&B, sorry excuse for a Ne-yo CD has put me in.

Wow.
