There's not much more to say about Britney Spears y'all. It's ALL been said before. However, the algorithm burped out this ditty after we musicologists spilled some of the new designer MIT drugs we're always doing in the T1M bunker (jokes!). Latter-day Britney Spears doesn't even pretend to have a voice. The song-makers simply use name. But the music. The music! Ah Hark! Such a blooming sensation of joy doth rise within my soul. "Phonography" (no, NOT pornography- stop being dirty, reader!) has the hooky production touch only Swedish pop-masters Bloodyshy and Avant know how to create. They graced us with their heavenly presence before with the hipster-loved "Toxic." This track didn't quite make the mainstream. In fact, it didn't make the album and was a pre-order itunes bonus track. The record label clearly doesn't know gold when they hear it. The subject matter regards the quite common (or so i hear from the kids these days) practice of phone sex. The beats drops low and builds into a dangerous-sounding minor chord progression and starts: "We're not so different you and me/ Cause we both share our share of obscenities." Okay, so the lyrics aren't dazzling, but that machine synth drum fill sure is! Oh, readers, this next part might be too x-rated for you, but:
I like my bluetooth buttons comin loose,
I need my hands free,
Then I let my mind roam,
Playing with my ringtone
How exactly does one play with ones ringtone? By changing it? I usually change my ringtone once every three months, but some of my coworkers have taunted me with the same ringtone for over a year. Anyhow, the music for this jam is downright HAUNTING in the most Victorian gothic kind of way, but TRANCE, you know? If they hadn't written such time-specific lyrics, I think this song might have had a chance in making it into the modern pop canon.
