Just whooooooo are you?
Just an overworked, underloved grad student, clining to any remaining shred of perspective and sanity by scrutinizing the minutae of pop culture. That makes me a sophisticated and discriminating connoisseur of pop culture, instead of just another schlub sitting on her couch, slurping down the Kool-Aid that the networks keep pouring out. At least that’s what I keep telling myself.
Nice. So what’s this page about?
The campy deliciousness that is American Idol, of course. The karaoke. The Seacrest. The black cashmere T-shirts. The hidden flasks at the judges’ table. The purple velvet jackets. The shameless shtick. Teh Prettah. Your Taylors, your Katharines, your [jazzhands]DAUGHTRYs[/jazzhands]. Oh, and other topics as I see fit to include them, most notably other music.
Do you play favorites?
Yes. And you are more than welcome to, too, in the comments section, as long as you keep it civil.
And just what makes your site different than all those other Idol blogs out there?
Spelling and grammar, for one. Oh, sure, you’ll find the occasional typo, misspelling, or omitted word. But seriously (and the Redbook tells me it’s perfectly fine to begin a sentence with a conjunction these days), I don’t have any inside scoop, I don’t have a knack for locating gritty blues gems on YouTube, and I don’t have a knowledge of music that spans the decades (much less this decade). But I do have some commentary to offer, and hey, if you like that sort of thing, you’re more than welcome to stick around.
