When Michael Jackson died a few months ago, I didn't have an opportunity at the time to write down any of my feelings about his passing, much less his career, his legacy, and his impact on my own life. I didn't cry, I don't remember being "shocked," and I didn't really react at all, to be honest, except with some mild degree of incredulity over the way so many people were just wracked with...

'Coz this is THRILLER, thriller night, and no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike. You know it's THRILLER!" Singing/screaming these lyrics is how I decide to wake my flatmate Fionn on Wednesday morning at 2.30am. He is not amused. Fionn is the only one I could convince to get up at all hours, trek out to the Liffey Valley cinema, and check out the 4am screening of Michael Jackson's...

As a film, Michael Jackson's This Is It is fairly straightforward, a series of musical numbers shot during rehearsals for the spectacular 50-show concert Jackson planned to stage at London's O2 arena but didn't live long enough to perform. As a cultural artifact, though, it's something more compelling: the final act of a pop legend, all the more powerful if you were one of the kids who bought ABC on...

Ruby and Michael just stood there glaring at each other. Then Michael broke the silence. "I don't really care how I got here. Now that I'm here, I'm stayin'. And there's nothing a little witchie-poo like you can do about it. Naah-naah. Wee-hee!" "You are most definitely not staying here!" said Rhea "I don't even like your damn music!" "Now you're just being ignorant....

This is a list of songs I've posted since the inception of this Hilarious Thing Called Blog. I'd totally put all these songs in my ipod and name it "Veace Playlist" except I gave my ipod away to a McDonald's customer. I also have a McDonald's charge on my credit card for $14.58, which leads me to believe I bought him and seventeen of his friends dinner. Yeah, girl! Shake That – Eminem...

Posthumous Michael Jackson, streamable at the official site . My observations — sorry, Michael: 1. The words are like one of those awful finale songs the write for "American Idol." 2. The singing is not up to your standard. Presumably, if you'd lived, you'd have rerecorded it with more of a feeling of style, varying between urgency and effortlessness, instead of continuing throughout...
