Glee-cap: Journey (or, A 6th Grade Love Story)

“Your hair looks like a briar patch. I keep expecting racist, animated Disney characters to pop up and start singin songs about livin’ on the bayou.”

- Sue Sylvester

[Circa 1986]

Dear Journey:

I totally heart you. Today in social studies class, Kim R. was like, “Journey’s way cool!” and I was like, “TOTALLY!” and she was like,”I’m totally hoping they play Journey at our skating party at King’s Roller Rink!” and I was like, “For SURE.” I am also totally hoping that [name deleted] will ask me to skate with him on the Moonlight Couple to “Faithfully,” although I will totally be dying.

Y/F/F/A*,

The 6th Grade Version of Me

PS – If your songs should one day be mashed up on a television show featuring high school choir kids, that would be, like, totally cool.

*Your fiercest fan always

Dianna Agron, I Heart You Too (but We Knew That)

I’ve always had a serious girl crush on Quinn/Dianna Agron, even longer than I’ve loved her Glee nemesis Santana/Naya Rivera.

So imagine my delight upon discovering Ms. Agron’s Fantastically Awesome Tumblr Page. Turns out, she’s a phenomenal photographer.

Check ‘er out! And then let me know whatcha think!

Glee-cap: Funk

“For those of you whose hearing has not been damaged by massive doses of Accutane, listen up…”

- Sue Sylvester

So, I dunno, maybe I’m tired, maybe I’m cranky, maybe I ate too much Cool Whip with my pudding. Whatever the reason, tonight’s episode of Glee left me nonplussed.

It’s not that I’m not a funk fan – quite the contrary! I suppose my disappointment with tonight’s show has something to do with its completely unrealistic subplots (Quinn suddenly decides to get funky. What does that even MEAN? Sue Sylvester falls for Will Schuester? Every lesbian in the world is guffawing right now. Etc., etc…)

I’m too exhausted to get into all the ways “Funk” made me catatonic. Instead I’ll focus on the music. Now, the epi had some high points: for example, I was pleased to hear Mercedes bring it as Puck and Quinn’s backup vocalist on “Good Vibrations,” and it was fun to see Kurt impishly dancing around on “We Want the Funk.” But the numbers in general just didn’t do it for me.

Here are just a few songs that could’ve done this episode the justice it deserved:

Season finale next week, Gleeks! Until then…
