I’m not one to make New Year’s Resolutions, but one of the things I did upon my return from celebrating the holidays in Pennsylvania was to go through my bookmarks and remove all the gossip sites. I just want to remove the 24/7 coverage of Britney and her brain-dead ilk from my consciousness. I’m sure I’ll stumble upon information about her here and there beyond the gossip sites (When Britney’s sister got pregnant, I found out because it was on CNN, with an exclamation point, no less), but it will still be at a much lower rate than the daily onslaught.

It just seems strange to know and read so much about people who artistic lives have so little relevance to me. I follow them through going to the studio, working with producers, the leaked tracks (which I don’t listen to), etc., etc., and when the album finally officially drops, I won’t even download it illegally for free. So, just a natural step to dump them, I think…
