The Sound of Violence



So, I work at a gar bar. Some of you know this, some of you do not. What those of you know who know this and have been to said gay bar, is that we play a lot of fucking music videos. Several screens, all with lots of music videos on them. Some (like the one above) are freakin nifty. Most are sad and lame. Regardless, I often have a hard time not watching music videos and actually tending to my drunken customers. The above video by Cassius is a real gem in my book. I'd really like to watch on Imax...in 3D...on lots of chemicals...forever...

Justify My Love



My father has been in town, so I haven't been spending much time thinking about what to put up in my little corner of the internet, but here we go again...

Madonna has always been a gender bending fag. In this video, she only play one gender, but she also brought some serious kinky gay genderfuck stuff to a mainstream audience. In case you weren't aware, this was the first video to ever be banned from MTV. And what did she do? She sold the damn thing on VHS as the first video single and made millions. Clever girl.

Below are a few examples of Madge playing a more dominant role, and also her love for top hats.

She's Madonna



I'm not really sure how I feel about this one. Opinions? I'm a rebellious Robbie Williams fan; ie: no one else I know really cares for him at all. I love this song, he made it with the Pet Shop Boys. The video, is somewhat enjoyable, and the idea of Robbie in bad drag is kinda interesting, but none the less nothing really happens.

What's exciting is the DL on the song, which is apparently this: Robbie wrote the song after a conversation he had with Guy Ritchie (Madonna's hubby) about how he left his then girlfriend Tania Strecker for Madonna. Robbie wanted Madonna to be in the video with him, and he played the song for her shortly after writing it, and the word is she even liked it. But when Guy figured out what the song was about, the project was dropped entirely. Shame, would have been fun.

Also of note, the video includes Alexis Arquette (of The Arquette's) who was born on my birthday, only in 1969. And finally, the video was made by none other than Johan Renck who also Madonna's "Nothing Really Matters" and "Hung Up." Everything is illuminated.

It's Amy Winehouse day!

I was turned on to this semi-trashy woman yesterday. Yes, I'm late on the boat, considering she's already won Best New Artist at the Brit Awards, but the girl is super sexy and amazing; and her voice makes me wanna cream. It's like Rosemary Cloony and The Ronettes had a love child who wore too much eye liner, but it kinda worked for her because she looked like Minnie Driver. Anyway, her videos are kinda great too, not super awesome, both worth a look over. It took me two times to 'get' the first one, so give it a look.

Trivia? At around age 10, Winehouse founded a short-lived amateur rap group called Sweet 'n' Sour, as Sour. She described the group as "the little white Jewish Salt 'n' Pepa" in a 2003 interview with The Sun.

Love Today



What it is about this boy...I have no idea, but he's cute like kittens and bunnies and yet I still kinda wanna do him...to tall though...Anyway, this appeared yesterday, and it's good.

Anyway, in case you were wondering, Mika was trained by a Russian opera professional and his public performances and jobs have varied from classical performances in the Royal Opera House, writing in-flight music for British Airways and creating an Orbit Chewing Gum jingle. I guess he's versatile.

I posted his first single here if you missed it.

Who's That Girl



So apparently I'm on some sort of Gender Bender kick. While Annie's gender bending has ever been as extreme as what we saw in the last post, it's still sexy. I mean how often do we get to see pop stars making out with themselves while playing different genders? Not often enough, I'll tell you that!
