Aw, maaaaaaannnnnnn…now I have to buy the new Dixie Chicks album.

I don’t really see where I have any choice. According to the Washington Post story on the album, the trio – Emily Robison, Natalie Maines, and Martie McGuire – “collaborated on the album’s 14 songs with more than a half-dozen writers, including Sheryl Crow, Neil Finn, alt-country godhead Gary Louris and Dan Wilson of Semisonic and Trip Shakespeare.”

Okay, you tempted me with Dan Wilson, you had my curiosity legitimately piqued with Gary Louris…but Neil Finn, too? Dammit. I had a really good run going of not owning any Dixie Chicks. Oh, well, at least my wife likes country, so I can make false claims that I really bought it for her…

If you want to keep your daughter off the pole…

…a good first step would be to avoid naming her after Madonna.

Sadly, Ginger Spice apparently failed to read that particular memo, as she recently introduced daughter Bluebell Madonna to the world.

“There’s a good reason I picked Madonna as a middle name, too. As she came out of my tummy, Bluebell had both arms flung wide in the air as if announcing to the world, ‘Hi! I’m here!’

“She was screaming her head off, as though she was shouting, ‘Hello Wembley!’ No one else has that name, apart from the Virgin Madonna and the singer, whom I love.”

So, this poor child has a Spice Girl for a mommy, and she’s named after the original exhibitionist. Yep, there is definitely a spotlight and a bright shiny stripper pole in her future.

Oh, and for the record, it’s probably also a good idea to avoid naming your daughter after a brand of ice cream whose logo includes a giant cow. Just a helpful tip.

Madonna crucifies your love

Amazing that the old bag can still piss people off. Madge recently caused some sort of uproar when she appeared crucified on a bejeweled cross during a live show. All the hardcore fans lapped it up, those opposed said nay, and the rest of us just sighed and told her it was really time to put some clothes on. Here’s hoping she does something sexy with Yoko Ono before she bites the big one (Ono, that is). You know it’s going to happen eventually. Madonna will suddenly appear as Mary Magdalene saying how influential and amazing Yoko was and the next thing you see will be both of them half naked and reading headlines from newspapers over a dance beat.

Eat Sleep Drink Album Cover Quiz #1

Let’s have some fun, shall we? I’ve taken ten album covers from various periods in rock history and removed the name of the artist and the album title. The first person to write me with the name of the artist and album for all ten covers will receive a CD from my orphans pile, which boasts artists like Erasure, Gary Numan, Scott Sta(m)pp, Stereo Fuse, Jenny Watson and Bloc Party. Write me at davidm[at]bullz-eye.com (aw, damn, I just blew my secret identity) with your answers.

Eligibility rule: if I know you, you’re not eligible. Good luck to everyone else.

You will bow before Lordi!!!

It’s official: Finland rocks…and rocks hard.

The oft-neglected European country took home the victory in the Eurovision song contest this year, thanks to the metal band Lordi and their song “Hard Rock Hallelujah.”

This is Lordi:

I’m sorry, but that’s awesome.

Europe presents us with Lordi, and who do we have to offer as our democratically-voted-upon superstar?

People, George W. Bush is not the only reason people think America sucks.
