The Problem with Paris
I woke up early this morning, as I do most every weekday morning, to the sound of the “Scott and Erica Show” on MIX 105.1.
I, like many listeners, find the sound of Erica’s contralto voice uniquely soothing, and oddly energizing. She always sounds full of life and joviality. If she’s like that all the time and not just while she’s on the air, she must be a truly fun person to be around. She’s near the top of my list of people I’d like to meet someday.
As for Scott, he sounds like a genuinely nice man, and a very witty one to boot.
At the top of every hour Erica delivers the “Mix Morning Update”, a quick overview of the news, often with an “amusing or offbeat news story” at the end.
Sometimes I only half hear these reports as I emerge from the haze of sleep, but this morning I heard something that caught my ear. Apparently, Paris Hilton’s new album is a flop. Only about 75,000 total copies have been sold in the US. They were, of course, expecting to sell millions.
The general agreement among reviewers is that this album proves that with today’s technology (especially pitch-correction software), anyone can make an album.
Paris’ problem? She can’t go out and perform live to help promote the album. Why? Well, she can’t perform live!
Of course, I’m not too worried about her. She probably will not starve, and she now has a fun little thing to give away at her parties (that is, if anyone will take them).
In other music news, Jessica Simpson’s latest CD is not meeting with the warmest reception, at least by the critics. I listened to her latest single (the title of which I will not bother to look up) and it sounds amazingly like the 80’s hit “Holiday” by Madonna.
Today I will be working on some tracks for three artists, and any one of them has more talent in their little finger than….well, you know.
And they can all perform live, too.

Hi PSG...Paris has her 3 albums on "Burnlounge". I wonder if Paris has a "Burnlounge" store?

I believe Spike has met up with Erica in the past...it was car related, if I have my story straight! Joan Rivers or Barbara WAWA I'm not.
