Let's Talk About How Fucking Rad Janelle Monae is

Janelle Monae is really fucking rad. Let's talk about it.

Okay so you may have seen on Twitter that earlier this week I was freaking out when I discovered that her song "Say You'll Go" from her BOMB new album samples Debussy's "Claire de Lune." Janelle Monae is awesome. I mean that is killer. Debussy is without question my favorite composer ("Reverie" is the number one most listened to song in my iTunes library) and Janelle Monae is brilliant.

The best part about her new album, The ArchAndroid is the liner notes. Every song lists inspiration. My personal favorite would be for the very first jam, "Overture II:"

Inspired by Princess Leia's cinnamon buns hairstyle, Tim Burton's "Blue Girl With Wine" and Rachmaninoff's Piano Concert No. 2

So Janelle Monae and I should be friends. Obviously. We both share a love of Star Wars, Tim Burton and Debussy. Well, shit.

And I leave you with her kickass video for "Tightrope."

Gaga in Wonderland

Now THIS I want to see:

Tim Burton, meet one of my favorite 80s movies of ALL TIME

YES. That is all.

Holy Hotcakes! This Trailer is Rad!

The newest trailer is further proof: Alice in Wonderland is going to be fucking amazing. Yeah, that totally warranted an F-bomb. And I don't drop F-bombs lightly.

First of all, I LOVE Tim Burton. This weekend when I am in New York I am going to his art exhibit at MoMA, which I've been anxious to go to since it opened.

Secondly, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen? Brilliant. These two always act so well together.

And even though I dislike Anne Hathaway, Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat is another great casting decision.

And finally, I love, love, LOVE the original stories of Alice and another film version will be amazing, no doubt.

Without further ado, see the trailer for yourself:
