Usually, there’s at least one album I’m excited to hear each Tuesday.  Although the music industry is undeniably filled with a lot of crap, there are almost always some good artists that manage to highlight a week of bad releases.  While not all of the artists releasing albums today are ‘bad’, I can’t say I’m excited about any of them.

In case you didn’t yet notice through Beyonce’s new Myspace billboarding, she has got a new album out.  Apparently, she is displaying her alter-ego in this release, “I Am…Sasha Fierce“.  First of all, I kind of hate the word ‘fierce’.

Secondly, I kind of hate Beyonce.  Beyonce has long referred to her on-stage persona as “Sasha” and now she’s given Sasha her very own album.

Sound nuts to you?  Don’t worry; it sounds nuts to me, too.  Her single, “If I were a Boy”, is boring.  She decorates the songs with her usual unsolicited arpeggios.  I can’t say I expected anything more…but considering the album is oriented around her alter-ego, it would have been refreshing to hear something new and different out of Beyonce.

Our friends over at Deadspin uncovered a pretty priceless video clip of the recently named Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin… as a 24-year-old sports broadcaster named Sarah Heath.

It was 1988 and mullets weren’t just the do of choice for hockey players and country singers, but beloved and desired by all, men and women alike.

So we got to wonderin’, how does the presumptive Republican veep’s hairdo stand up to to one of the most famous ‘business in the front, party in the back’ cuts of all time?  You make the call.

Who has the better mullet?
