Now something completely different. I am listening to the new free album, Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, that Miley put out and I thought you might like to follow along. Now, remember, I LOVE Miley… so this isn’t really an unbiased review. Just go with it.
She is a BRANDING machine and watching her is fun, plus it’s the weekend and we need to get a new jam!
She dropped the whole thing for free on SoundCloud. Each song below is linked and has an * if I think you should actually listen to it. If you have little ones, put your head phones on and enjoy… not for kiddos.
Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz
Dooo It! What? Miley. I like art pop as much as the next Gen X, but what is going on here? Did you just need to say fuck a lot? That’s fine. Really. But you started your whole album with this. People might not get past the first track.
Karen Don’t Be Sad – This has to be about Karen Carpenter. Right? When I was a kid we would go to the cemetery where she was buried and sit next to her crypt. We were punks. What can I say? And Miley, you are so right. We can’t let them win.
The Floyd Song (Sunrise) – Oh, this is just depressing. I happy little poppy beat with sad crying Cyrus. It’s like looking back at my high school journals. Yikes. Not pretty, folks. Seriously, Floyd was her dog and he died… which is the worst. And then she made a song about it. And now we are listening to it. Angst and it is long. Whew.
Something About Space Dude – This is stoned Miley who has listened to a lot of deep tracks.
*Space Boots – Oooo. I like this one a lot. Bopping along in my chair. So good. Ok. More weed references, but I still like this one. You’re so cute in our space suit….
Fuckin Fucked Up – Well. That was short.
BB Talk – She talks. She talks about energy. And then she just belts it out. Nice. Then there is more talking. So NOT family friendly. But funny. It’s like being in her head, which is weird and weird.
Fweaky – She’s like the kid who just discovered pot. Which is a tad boring, but I’m old. I can see this totally remixed though and her voice is beautiful.
*Bang Me Box – Fun. Don’t let the kids listen. Well, that goes for the whole album. I remember when our daughter was little and we censored so much of what we listened to. This would NOT have been on the playlist in the minivan. That said, we are all grown ups now so we can listen to whatever we want and that is a nice thing. (I promise they grow up and then you can live in a grown up world too.)
Milky Milky Milk – What?
Cyrus Skies – Good lord. Drugs people. I want to shake her and tell her to wake up. Hello, Miley. Are you there? Let’s get stuff done. I have NO time for people on drugs. Lazy, selfish, in their own world – boring except to themselves. It gets better half way through, by the way. She must have woken up. Ooo. There it is. Her voice. Nice.
Slab of Butter (Scorpion) – Well. Good beats. I think she has been listening to Sia. I wonder if she is going to get a little mini me to dance for her.
I’m so Drunk – I’m pretty sure this was meant to be a ringtone.
*I Forgive Yiew – Oh. I like this. It’s like the not nice Tay Tay. I can see this one on the playlist for the car. Oh. Yes. Give it a listen.
I Get So Scared – This is the most traditional ballad. She is pretty and sweet. Probably the ONLY song that will actually go on the air anywhere.
Lighter – Sorry. I got distracted. This is really pretty. Just nice background music.
Whew. This album is long.
Tangerine – She just drones on and on. I should say here that I do think it’s cool that she did this off label and that is exactly what I want people to do. Don’t do things just for commercial success or Instagram posts. Live your life. Get dirty in your own stuff. Go offline and record spacey tunes if that gets you excited. Go do your thang.
I’m doing my thang just like @mileycyrus does hers. #miley #dogoodwork

Tiger Dreams – Oh gosh. More deep tracks with a tired Miley. Whew. I’m tired just listening to this.
Evil is but a Shadow – It’s like she is singing in a cool shower somewhere and there is this nifty band set up in the tub next to her. Who knows? Maybe that is how it went down.
*1 Sun – Whoa. She woke up and got out of the shower and is warning us. Nice. I like when she is awake. Dancing in my chair.
Pablow the Blowfish – These are like the songs I make up when I am driving along… like to my dead blowfish. RIP Pablow.
Miley Tibetan Bowlzzz – She has dipped into chant and singing bowls. I guess you have to explore life and she is sharing. Sharing is nice. Every yoga studio in Los Angeles is going to figure out how to use this as their opening to practice. Om shanti!
*Twinkle Song – Oh, if you start with David Bowie teaching you to skate board you’ve hooked me. Lovely way to end this epic journey into your stoned afternoon, Miley.
Thanks, Miley. I really do love that you are doing your own thing to your own beat. Life is short people, don’t worry what I think about you or anyone else. Go do your big thing!
