lady gaga: once again fighting for the good of all mankind

thanx terry, but no thanx lady gaga. doubt if anyone who’s actually reading this blog will disagree with your “so controversial” message but will you please shut up and stick to your deeply progressive pop lyrics?  you know, like that line “baby is a bad boy with some retro sneakers”…which made such an impression on the youth movement of today.  we’re a little sick of every two bit celebrity taking up “a cause” to blatantly further their career.

first off the bigots in washington who are creating such absurd laws don’t exactly listen to your albums, let alone your advice.  secondly, half the members of the senate who voted in the law are probably closet-case-queens pandering to their redneck voters. they are doing exactly what you’re doing. in other words, doing whatever it takes to further their career. if you guys actually have a brain to think and care for something, how is it that all the concerns are around such agreeable issues within your audiences? that’s because your PR handlers tell you what causes to take on. god forbid any of you stand-up for something you care about that happens not to be popular within your “customer” base, like zero population growth, G8, indigenous people of (insert country here)… i guess those guys don’t buy concert tickets, or do they? by xy

Who’s got the crack?

hailing from NYC, the moldy peaches, in one form or another recorded some great music in the early/mid 2000’s. inspiring the strokes to pete doherty no less, they are worth a listen if you have not heard them. enjoy. by mc

screamin jay hawkins: what a busy man!


on the wiki page for singer screamin jay hawkins, under his obituary one can read :

“he left behind many children by many women; an estimated 55 at the time of his death, and upon investigation, that number “soon became perhaps 75 offspring”.”

busy indeed! let’s remember him not for over populating this earth but rather for his amazing performance of the coolest version of “i put a spell on you” 😉 by pp’

13 Most Beautiful… Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests

i love to watch the clips of screen tests andy shot between 1964 and 1966 in his silvery factory. people are fascinating, especially when they’re trying to do nothing.

13 most beautiful…songs for andy warhol’s screen tests features 13 of warhol’s classic silent film portraits. subjects include nico, lou reed, edie sedgwick, dennis hopper, etc. and are presented with newly commissioned soundtracks performed by dean wareham and britta phillips who i don’t know of, but sound yummy. by kl
