Blackout Reviews

Even if you don’t listen to her album and just judge it by what she’s been doing over the time it was recorded and promoted, you all know the Britney Spears’ ‘Blackout’ album is pretty much the nail in the coffin of her career. The Wall Street Journal thinks so too when they did a review on her album.
They said “A phalanx of producers and backing vocalists exert more of an influence on a disc that’s not quite a mess but only occasionally rises above a muddle… as a vocalist, Ms. Spears sounds weary, snide and at times disconnected. On some songs, her voice seems grafted to the material as if an afterthought… At the bottom register, her voice is a throaty bleat… With Blackout, Ms. Spears fails to deliver a recording that will re-establish her as a dominant pop star rather than a 25-year-old woman who seems bent on self-destruction.”
Our Lady Peace for War Child

Raine Maida of the band Our Lady Peace was playing his guitar on the streets of Toronto on Thursday. And despite his guitar case being open for people to drop some pennies in, no his not that hard up for cash. Thank the heavens!
The Canadian musician is actually hoping to raise $30,000 to help War Child’s School Rehabilitation and Revitalization Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. His way of raising money may not be as high profile as most charities but his doing his part by getting people interested in the cause.
