When is Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd On Looker to be released?

I'm sorry, but everytime I listen to Stop Thinking off of KY's myspace page, I think of this picture:

Because the plans she has for that head is to bite it off? Yum yum.

I am beyond psyched for this one---Halfway Across the Atlantic is one amazing track.

I hope so. Magazines should review it. She's trickling into magazines too slowly. (How do you even get your album picked?!) Let's write to editors and tell them to take flippin' notice.

I think Breasticles was actually reviewed in Rolling Stone... I don't know how you get your album picked for a wild-card review in a major magazine. I doubt it has anything to do with talent or even with fan fervor. I would say youth, existing blog buzz, connections, label pressure and/or a nice body, with artistry as a happy and hoped-for accident, but then I have the total cynicism of the uninformed.

The mid-level feminist women's magazines (especially Bitch; maybe Bust, I know that one less well) review tons of music and are very willing to go weirder or more obscure if it seems like the publicity would help the sisterhood. And blogs. Due to the blogs, flawed system or no, we are currently hearing from a small handful of artists who would have sunk without trace in the 90's or even the 80's. Pitchfork can make you, unless it's its whim to do the opposite. Though then you have to live with the thing of being liked by Pitchfork, which very probably isn't as hard a life as it sounds. It's a world out there, to be certain.

God knows what the presence of Morrissey will change; probably not as much as I think. I certainly hope that as many people as possible hear the album (and the others) and will do my best to try and make the audience larger.

(I hope that post wasn't TOO fatalistic and anti-pop-culture. Above all the blather, I know Music For... is going to be brilliant and I DO think it will make an impact; I'm just dubious about our personal ability to help that to happen. Because I am all about doing nothing, while prior posters are all about doing something. Morally speaking, I'm still pretty sure that puts you all ahead.)

I just don't think that the big-cake music magazines have half the relevance they did before 2000. But then, my music criticism comes from special-interest blogs, and (big surprise) those blogs tell me that nobody cares about anything but special-interest blogs these days - so I should really consider my source.

As for feminist mags, Bust and Bitch are aimed at people five years younger than me, and Ms. at people twenty years older, so I confess I'm not in that scene enough to discuss and defend. I seem to remember that all of them approve of at least a few things per issue, and yes, Bitch's advertisers seem to assume a pretty damned passionate link between feminism and onanism, but maybe they just want to support the cause. Sex merchants seem to have a leaning towards politics and they always have cash. Night, everyone; it is more two a.m. than it has ever been before.

You are funny, I hope you write for a living! ;-)

How will it get good coverage? How are they going to promote it to people besides those who're already fans? Is it late summer yet?

Ahh, I see what you mean.

What makes you say that?

They're with Girlie Action, who also represent (among others) Morrissey, Santogold, Aimee Mann and the Gossip.

I realize that, now that I've demonstrated this level of geek-knowledge, nobody will ever take me seriously as a human being again. (It's on KY's website though.)
