If you are a fan of the postmodern popular culture, the independent spirit, personal achievement in a singular artistic genre, then Ke$ha - and this new album - is for you. She has spent the last couple of years of her life in the pursuit of creation from the heart, through true musical expression.
Ke$ha is a true musical artist of the highest caliber, drawing from the stream of consciousness events from contemporary existence, going back referencing her opus "Animal", and making it very sure to the listener that this is a new world we are living in, and television and fame and emotions have become compartmentalized and filed somewhere in a dark corner of a computer.
Fame is a horrible disease, being rich is great and a curse, and personal freedoms and our choices are duct-taped to the wall with pieces of the Constitution.
She sees it all, and her music tells the horrible stories of truth but in a positive, subversive, life-affirming way. And what's wrong with that?
01 Cannibal - the opening track explains it all: "Now that I'm famous, you're up my anus...I am Cannibal...Yeah, I'll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer" Only Ke$ha can see the best and the worst of what you think is a good thing to be.
02 We R Who We R - I have never felt more connected to Ke$ha's music than when I first heard this. She tells you to celebrate your individuality and deconstruct the hegemonical status quo. It does work...
03 Sleazy - Is this her love letter to the sleaziest sleaze in the winter of 2010? As she sees it, the power from the beat covers the ashes, hides the burnt ground, and she floats orgasmically above the gaping wound in the earth and she tells us about sleaze, and primitive thoughts, and lost outrospections as the drums pound and she reminds us to "Get sleazy..." Powerful.
04 Blow - this dance-banger is a dedication to transcendence, and the pursuit of it. She speaks of insanity, and of explosions, and how if you lose yourself in either one, there is nothing left but dance and glitter, and your conscious mind is gone.
05 The Harold Song - "True love hurts..." Everyone always sticks his/hers collective noses into the hornet's nests and NEEDS love to be the Great Problem Solver, and only love, the big, true opium of the world, can solve it all. But if you aren't an expert helping in solving the solutions, forget it. You have no usefulness. And her references about light vs dark? Priceless! This song is monumental, but you'll never hear it in clubs. It's too out there and too deep for club kids to understand.
06 Crazy Beautiful Life - sometimes having our pace, our tics, and our open arms to the skies aren't a bad thing... but Ke$ha does have some thoughts about that, though. Noam Chomsky couldn't have said it better about how "the American way" has become America's downfall. But living life in an affirming way outside of boring conventions is what it is all about. Every night and every day is a possibility to be "real" and find an exciting existence outside of the "box".
07 Grow A Pear - this is the song that will compel you to understand Ke$ha's entire catalog of music. This is her definitive statement of the world in 2010, and I don't think she could have said it any better. This song is subverting "natural" gender roles. It is finally time for the patriarchy to fall!
08 c u next tuesday - This is one of those great songs that have been floating around on the net for a while. I feel very Madonna-ish here. I mean the good Madonna, the `telling us what life is all about' Madonna. That thread of thought seems to work here. This is sweet pop music with a bite. Under the surface you can find the deeper truths regarding contemporary existence: The technology, the humanism, culture vs art.
09 Animal (Billboard Remix) - "This is our last chance" We fight, mankind has been fighting since its dawn, and what have it proven? For fat balding men in impeccably-dressed suits in Washington DC, war sells, war is good business, war makes good press for presidents and oil companies, and war has gone from solving problems to creating thick 401k plans for potential bailout CEOs. Oh yeah, young men and now women die, and they really don't know why. Is it for America, or for the bottom line? Ke$ha is up for the fight into the magic. Transcendence through great art in the form of popular culture. This remix is truly magic.
So that's it. This album, is why Ke$ha exists, for her kind of artistry is necessary to remind us that when it does all collapse, she will smile, knowing she was right, because she is the perfect kind of musical artist - thought-provoking, understanding, topical, timeless.
Is she still right, sharing her fears and dreams and getting us to think in the only way she knows how to universally approach the world like this? Definitely. Ke$ha is a great auteur with interesting things on her mind. An incredible visionary artist that truly shows that there is way to live life to the fullest through irreverence as a positive force. Fun is subversive!
Now go! Buy this album, or go to her website and download it now - then sit back late one night, or early one morning, relax as you put on your headphones, and drink it all in. You'll be the better person to have let Ke$ha into your mind for a while to sing and speak to you about what she sees and feels in this broken world.

Main article: Forum spam Forum spam is the creating of messages that are advertisements or otherwise unwanted on Internet forums. It is generally done by automated spambots. Most forum spam consists of links to external sites, with the dual goals of increasing search engine visibility in highly competitive areas such as weight loss, pharmaceuticals, gambling, pornography, real estate or loans, and generating more traffic for these commercial websites. Some of these links contain code to track the spambot's identity if a sale goes through, when the spammer behind the spambot works on commission.
