I have poor taste and What is my personal summer soundtrack??

Spain has crippled my critical sense. Here's some examples:

1. I watched Miss Congeniality 2 on the airplane and actually enjoyed it. Yes, I knew it was bad, but I didn't care. I laughed without reservation, heartily and with passion, as Schnocone likes to say.
--I also watched Melinda and Melinda, Woody Allen's latest film. I liked that, too. I remember Anthony Lane or some schmo talking about how awful and stilted the dialogue was. Did he completely miss the point? The movie was the creation of two hackish playwrights. Play dialogue is almost NEVER believable. It's always overblown and hyperbolic.

2. I've been watching way too much CelebReality on VH1, including The Surreal Life, Hogan Knows Best, and Celebrity Fit Club 2. Yes, they're really bad, but I can't stop. I've been watching people pick euro amounts out of boxes for fun for the last six months. Plus, watching Hulk Hogan's family is absolutely hilarious, and I know I'm not the only one who loves it, as Hoosier Lush has professed her love for the show.

3. In the music realm, I'm kind of inundated. I don't know where to begin since I've been gone so long listening to my old music for a while, which was actually kind of good. I totally rediscovered Wire, some more Dylan, the Supremes, Disc 2 of Being There, and of course, Tim by the Replacements which is truly awesome.
--New music, however, is completely bewildering. I've decided to dedicate my efforts to Sufjan Stevens since Bighead is taking me to his concert as a birthday present. I don't know how I feel. It's totally a loveit/hateit type of music. Schnocone hates it. Bighead loves it. I find myself somewhere in between. I really like it, but I think he sings almost completely dispassionately...almost academically, and the minimalist influence can be trying, but on the other hand I really like it. And I'm not sure whether or not some of the themes are just too maudlin, because honestly, who writes a song about John Wayne Gasey. Sure I had a visceral reaction to it and it hit me like a ton of bricks, but I feel like it might have been manipulative in a Million Dollar Baby, pander to your emotions type way. I mean, honestly, who isn't going to be a little disturbed by a song about the scariest serial killer of all time, especially when you hear about a guy dressing up like a clown and killing young boys when you are a young boy and live in an adjacent state. We'll see. I think overall I'll probably end up loving it. Which brings me to my next dilemma--

THE SUMMER WITHOUT A SOUNDTRACK?
Every summer for the past five years or so have had a soundtrack, but this one doesn't, and it's a little disturbing. I'll list them. I'm very obsessive about music, and all the free time in summer causes me to latch onto one artist and suck the blood out of them. Here have been my previous obsessions:
2000--The Smashing Pumpkins
2001--R.E.M. / Patti Smith--it was a pretty big summer. I think this is all I listened to the entire time.
2002--Sonic Youth--I totally burned out on them. Not even sure I still like them at all.
2003--Liz Phair--Oh how you betrayed us all. Still have hope for the next album, though. Yes, I'm crazy.
2004--Bjork.
2005--?????????

I'm still accepting applications, but so far no one is really filling the hole. I think it may be the Walt Whitman summer since I totally love Leaves of Grass. The End.
