Miley Cyrus Takes Her Party In The USA To Occupy Wall Street→

11/28/11

This is excellent, but there’s one bit to maybe take issue with:

There is, or could be, a robust critique of the role of corporations in modern democracy at the heart of OWS and its offshoots, but that is simply unsustainable at this level of exposure. If Miley Cyrus can glom onto the movement’s message so easily, then it’s unlikely to be particularly complex.

Part of the reason Miley is releasing home-made videos of remixes of songs that came out 18 months ago is that she’s signed to Hollywood Records, Disney’s subsidiary, which apparently has no interest in releasing any more of her music. So, although Miley is as rich as fuck (if internet estimates are accurate, comfortably in the 1%), she has her own legitimate beefs with corporations.

Miley Cyrus: Can't Be Tamed | CD review | Culture | The Guardian→

Have been faintly concerned that my dislike of Alexis Petridis stems solely from disagreeing with him. But no, here he is quite right in concluding that Miley Cyrus’s album is rubbish, but this is still an incredibly stupid review, containing neither information nor analysis.

Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed

04/30/10

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

The bridge isn’t too bad, but the new Miley Cyrus track “Can’t Be Tamed” is certainly no “Party in the USA”; that Danja sound wasn’t exactly new three years ago when Britney adopted it, and it hasn’t aged well. I was all set to make my usual rant about how come massively rich Disney never springs the cash for decent songwriters for its biggest artists (with the obvious exception of Dr Luke for, yes, “Party in the USA”); but it turns out that the people who wrote and produced “Can’t Be Tamed” were also behind Selena Gomez’s great “Naturally.” So the terribleness of this track is entirely inexplicable.
