Roxy Saint

Madonna, meet your new, uh, you, but not the britney “I’m lollygagging all over the stage like a hoochie mama but ok for saved by the bell consumption” but the version whereby you’re like looking high off your ass and trying to be “shocking” and hanging out with bizarre transsexual avant garde types.

Don’t get me wrong. Roxy Saint, her music doesn’t suck. It’s like take rancid and mix in one of those softcore porn movies with like leatherbound heroin freaks and some nice highhat and, yah, there’s something there. The thing I didn’t get was why solely the dvd dillio?

Let me explain myself. Ms. Saint flat out refused to sign any deals just to make records. They gotta be DVD’s. which is all well & good, but, yet, another aspect I don’t get. The DVD is entertaining, and nice, like a long music video, dancing around and being “shocking” and all that good stuff, but it’s not like some fantabulous story about whooping cranes or anything, and I just don’t get, why wouldn’t you want your music to be able to be bumped by bass ackward non technologicals via a CD that they didn’t have to figger out some way to burn the music off the DVD and thereby bump it.

Anyway. The music is pretty good. Typical punk rock lite with some power chords and reverberation and the dvd is pretty good, chicks with half their nipples hanging out and guys dressed like chicks and roxie saint being hardcore and weird scenes of la nitelife, but, que sera sera. What will be will be.

Werd. But don’t take mine for it. Apparently this chick is literally (ok, not literally, I mean, it’s not on fire) burning up the downloads of videos and such on various websites and she’s the next huge thing and ultra futuristic and non corporate and bad to the bone and all that good stuff. Therefore it must be true.

It doesn’t suck, the music is actually pretty damn good, as mentioned, bustin’ crackin’ bouncin’ punk slash pop (no, dammit! No!) slash rock slash underground something or other. but I just don’t know if I’m buying into this whole “I’m the most hardcore non corporate chick to ever rip wear ripped panty hose” ideologue she seems to be throwing out there. But hey, I thought the whole “talkies” thing would be a short lived fad as well, so face value being a penny, buy me some chewing gum.
