This is the day of the show y'all. *

At approximately 3:00 p.m. today I got my li'l debbie hands on my very own copy of the new Danity Kane (or, as Truvy says, "Danity HEIN") album. YES. Some of you know I've had a pretty traumatic week so this album dropping was seriously the light at the end of my tunnel (right next to coming home to Shelby's Gal). As soon as I paid my $10.85 to the pimply faced 18-year-old working at Virgin Megastore I gave a peace sign and proceeded to run/walk home trying to contain my squeals.

I popped it in to behbeh boombox (the ONLY way to listen to any new craptastic pop music) and gave it a quick once over. I went through all of the songs to try and find the Scott Storch "Sleep on It" track and soon became greatly distressed when I couldn't find it. Seriously, my heart started racing and I had to wipe the sweat from my brow. Just as I was getting ready to BLOW OUT I saw that it was a "hidden track" at the end of the CD. Phew! That was a close one. Seriously, that Scott Storch track is freakin' awesome. Do you all remember the episode where S.S. gave a "baby clap" while drinking his Yoo Hoo after listening to the completed track in the studio? Classic. In fact, it was so good, I dubbed S.S.my official "Anus of the Summer." He is so hideous. Give me more! Oh... and I LOVED listening to Dawn's "Ooohh, I ain't tryin' to be ruuude" line. Can't you just imagine Pooh Bear giving her a "thumbs up" behind the glass?

The album has so many gems. You've got your "One Shot" aka the theme song. You've also got your "Ride for You" where my girl Aundrea is all "Lately, I've been trying to fight whatever's pulling us under..." The only thing that made me sad was to see that Drea thanked Rudy in the liner notes. BOOOO!

I cannot wait to learn this entire album from front to back. We will most def be listening to this in the mini van on the way to the Cabinet-sponsored trip to "The Adventures of Mimi" this weekend.

Oh, and I have to give a shout out to one of my BFF's Floben (her last name and mine put together... an old inside joke). I got to see Floben when I was in L.A. last week and we caught up on everything Danity Kane as she is a superfan as well. She'd most def be an honorary Cabinet member if she were in NYC (get a rope). We talked about how slutty Aubrey is, how lovable Pooh Bear is and how obnoxious Laurie Ann the choreographer is. Freakin' AWESOME.

This album is fine holiday fun. If you consider the gross, humid last days of August a holiday.
