Music / Post No Bills American (hardcore) idol

This news has been floating around for a while, but one-time Minutemen bassist (and current member of the reunited Stooges) Mike Watt recently played on six songs for the next Kelly Clarkson album. In a Pitchfork story Watt explained that he’s old friends with producer David Kahne, who asked him to contribute to the sessions. I was particularly amused by this new twist from a January 6 Reuters/Billboard story, where Watt admits that he knew virtually nothing about the singer: "I heard that Kelly won some game show, but I was really impressed how she sang her ass off.”

Does this mean I've got to listen to Kelly Clarkson now? Its not quite jammin' the thunder broom for Madonna, but I guess its kinda close. Hopefully Uncle Mike will see some nice coinage from the project.

Oh, come now. "Since You've Been Gone" is kind of a jam. I for one welcome the indiefication of Kelly Clarkson.
'Kind of a jam' is kind of different than 'a jam', though, right? I didn't mean to disparage Kelly Clarkson. I think she's a lot better than most of what my teenage daughters listen to. I just feel a bit bushed after conquering those feelings of needing to check out Taylor Hicks' new album because he has grey hair like me...
