High Art

I normally don't post stuff from the Times, because it'll cost you a buck to read it in a couple of weeks, but this one's an exception.

This is passing for high art - fans love it and critics rave. The article proudly trumpets a line from a hit off her "dazzling CD":

"Jiggle, jiggle, jangle/ Watch how my gluteus dangle."


Need I say more?

How to Be a Pop Star Using the Missy Method. The counterintuitive career path of Missy Elliott, who just released another dazzling CD, is starting to look like the conventional wisdom. By Kelefa Sanneh. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
