It’s finally here!

I’m going to see Britney tonight and it’s going to be amazing.

Try not to be too jealous, guys.

I’ll tell Britney and the Circus you said hi.

Yes, this post is all about Britney Spears. Get off my shit, bitch is fierce.

As some of you know, today her new record, Circus dropped. I think it’s good and there are a couple of really great songs (in my opinion) like Circus and Phonography but as a whole, I think Blackout was better. Blackout had hit after hit.

On another note, while watching the documentary, Britney: For the Record, I think you can really see how sad she is. It’s like she loves doing what she does but she just doesn’t have the spark anymore. Maybe it’s poor choreography but she isn’t really hitting the dancing like she use to. Or maybe it’s just taking her awhile to get back into the swing of performing. The preview for the Circus video looks insane though. I can’t wait to see it.

(Britney’s performance this morning on Good Morning America)

Whatever it is, I love her and want to go see her when she comes to Chicago in April. I wish I would have know that tickets would go on pre-sale today so I could have budgeted it in but I don’t think I can afford to drop like $250 for a pair of tickets

The video for Britney’s new single, Womanizer, debuted last night. The video makes me like the song more. I wasn’t that sold on the song before. Britney looks AMAZING!

Earlier this week, I found out that Chester French would be in town. They are a supporting act on the Common and N.E.R.D tour and decided to take the night off and play newish club, Angels and Kings.

Way back when, boyfriend put She Loves Everybody on a mix he made for me that’s all I needed to hear. They have a 60s pop feel to them that leaves me swooning. They put on a great set, short but sweet.

If you haven’t checked them out yet, I really suggest you do so. Trust me on this one.

I’m talking about my girl, Britney’s new single. It dropped today!

It seems she is finally getting her life back together. She took the VMAs by storm racking up three awards and looking ridiculously hot while doing so. Brit is making her way back!

This song was so hyped up and was getting pushed further and further back. I just got a chance to listen to it. I love Britney as much as anyone else but I really don’t think this was anything new or special. All the talk about the production and who she is working with got me excited for her new material.

But really, this song sounds like Ooh Ooh Baby off of Blackout. Change the lyrics a bit and now you have Womanizer.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad song. It’s just not living up to the hype.

Give it a listen.

Thoughts?

This was such a fun weekend! It was hot but not too hot. Yes, it was ridiculously hot for some people but honestly, compared to the past few years at Lolla, it wasn’t too bad. In case you missed me twittering each and every breath I made since stepping foot in Grant Park, I’ll do a little recap of who I seen.

Friday:

On Friday the first person we wanted to see was Duffy. We hit some traffic though so we got there right as she was ending which was a bummer. Then a friend was djing so we went to go see him for awhile. We caught some of the Cool Kids and then the end of CSS. They were hilarious. The singer was like, “We love you, Chicago! Top Chef, Kathy Griffen! Woo!”. Is Kathy Griffen from Chicago? I don’t even know but it was too funny. After that, boyfriend and I got some food and we walked toward that madness that was about to be Radiohead. One whole side of Grant Park was FULL of people. The crowd was pretty insane. Here is a picture of a tiny bit of the crowd.

The stage all the way in the back on the left is where they were playing. It was out of control. William and I scouted out some grassy area and laid down a blanket and just chilled. They played an amazing set and sound impeccable live. After we left Grant Park, we went to Angels & Kings for an after party. I kept hoping Jessica would show up but no luck. I still had a great time though!

Tomorrow around this time, there will be a piece of science fiction on this little blog here. I figured I’d warn you in advance so you’re not like “who the fuck does Jamie think she is? George Lucus or something?!” I can’t promise Ewoks or facehuggers but it will be fun. In case you haven’t heard by now, it will be the second time Nancy Pearl Wannabe has hosted the Choose Your Own Blogventure series and I’ll be taking part. So make sure you stop by tomorrow and play along!

Ben has been dropping hints of a super secret project he has been working on and today I can final reveal that I will be taking part of this no longer secret project too!

Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be spent sweating it out with the 75,000+ people expected to show up at Grant Park for Lollapalooza. There will be some really great bands and I’m really looking forward to it. Just to make you a little jealous, here is a taste of who I will see: Duffy, Radiohead, Mates of States, Explosions in the Sky, Spankrock, DJ AM, Brand New, The Weakerthans, Chromeo and my lovah, Mark Ronson.

Jess is prepared to bail me out of jail in case I get in trouble with the law for trying to sneak attack Mark Ronson’s face. In case I die of heatstroke, you all have to battle it out on who gets to keep my pretty blog.

Are you going to Lolla or just wanna keep up with me because you know I will be twittering my face off all weekend?

P.S. Want a cute and FREE header by the lovely lady who made my amazing design? Go here!

A few months back I bought tickets for boyfriend and I to see this show. I paid an obscene amount of money for pretty craptacular seats, but it will still be cool. It’s Kanye. In Chicago. I heard the show is pretty ridiculous but hey, what else to expect from Kanye? And seriously? Pharell? I might just have to find him and like, lick his face or something because he is too freaking sexy. Oh, and that broad Rihanna will be there. Her and her big ass forehead are annoying and I’m not sure why she is on this show but whatever. She gets a pardon from me if an adorable Chris Brown shows up because her lucky ass is dating him. Not likely though.

Yeah, any Chicago people going? I’ll be the girl NOT wearing those stupid glasses that everyone will be wearing and may or may not be attached to Pharell’s face.

 

Those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile, know I use to push my impeccable music taste on my freaders by way of mp3. Well, remember that French music I would obsess over last year? Pretty sure that is what has been on MTV all week. During The Hills? Yup, that was my girl, Yelle.

MTV, when you decide to play music again, call me. I know what’s up.

Here is just two of the many reasons why:

1) I gave my boyfriend an awesome card and a bag full of his favorite snacks for Valentine’s Day.

2) I bought him tickets to this today:
