He's Such A Loser...Baby

Ok. So I know he's come out with a new album, and from the little I've heard off of it, it seems better than the last piece of trash he put out...But let's face it: Beck isn't that great anymore. Which is totally fine. You can't expect someone to turn out great music or books or even herb encrusted rack of lamb for the rest of his or life. Then why is that people can't just except it? Still, the "alterna-nerds" were clamoring for tickets to the "secret show." Clearly, I'm in a race with myself to see how many concerts I can get to in my lifetime (I've even got a best evs in Espana working to get me tickets to the SOLD OUT Cream shows in Londres--the only catch is that I have to pretend to work for Billboard, which won't be too hard of a stretch considering the time I masqueraded as a member of the AP during the [gasp] Eiffel 65 show in the A-Tizz....And there we have confirmation of the aforementioned contest---and my best evs has to sell himself.) Anyway...The last few times I've seen Mr. Hanson, it's been crap. The acoustic performance he gave at Coachella last summer was so lame, I left. But I suppose If you've never seen him before, why miss the opportunity to do so. So I guess this has been a pretty moot post.

In other news:

I'm pretty psyched that this guy is our new Pope. Not that I have any idea who he is really, but he's brings with him the possibility (however unlikely) of some reforms in the Church. Some people are up in arms about the fact that he used to be a "Nazi." What those people don't seem to realize is that ALL young German males were required to joint Hitler's Youth, and it's no secret that Adlof wasn't too keen on the Catholics either. Well over a million of us were also executed. Also, I'm digging that he took Benedict. So awesome.

UPADTE: Yeah, so this guy's a conservative, orthodox zealot. obvs. What was I thinking. This is
