Sinead O'Connor ended marriage after 16 days


Irish singer Sinead O'Connor has ended her fourth marriage after just 16 days. Yes, her marriage lasted only 16 days! How ridiculous is this?

I mean, I really like her. I like her music and I also like that she has always been doing her own thing even though many people hate her for that. She has always criticized organized religion, war, women's rights and child abuse.

However, O'Connor may have crossed the line several times with her strong opinions. For example, she basically ended her famous career after she ripped picture of pope John Paul II during her live performance at Saturday Night Live in 1992. I really understand why many people started hating her, but I also understand her and there is no doubt that she is brave for doing that.

Anyway, her 16-day long marriage is in my opinion just very, very weak attempt to become famous again. She even went through divorce one time this year, so this is her second divorce of 2011. I just think it's freaking ridiculous.

Best Albums of 2011: PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

Let England Shake is PJ Harvey's tenth studio record. When this album came out in February this year, people started immediately loving it. This album has a strong anti-war message.

British artist lyrically focuses on England and its current situation on this record. She criticizes british political scene and England's involvement in war conflicts. I don't think that she could stress these issues better in any different way as she did on Let England Shake.

The album is so beautiful (Harvey started playing autoharp on this record) and sad at the same time. The melodies are simply great. There is no wonder that PJ Harvey won several awards for this record. It is probably the best "war album" of all times.

PJ Harvey is an extraordinary artist and she once again proved it on this album.

Song of the day: Lana Del Rey - "Blue Jeans"

Awesome song from this young artist. I especially love the guitar in this version.
