I have to thank my gal pal Angel for introducing me to Das Racist. When I first heard them, I was pretty blazed, smoking a Benson & Hedges, sippin some pop and kickin it. And then the music started playing. I asked her what the hell we were listening to? IT was total out of body experience. And "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" is now the official summer jam of 2009, joining the already sublime "Heavy Cross" Fred Falke remix.
The production is something to be desired, but fuck it. If the song gets stuck in your head, it's there regardless. Plus they're kind of hot in that I'd-fuck-them-and-not-tell-anyone kind of way. They are a great addition to hip hop, for me at least, joining Sgt. Sass and Benni E. I smell a tour plan.

R.I.P. MJ
Michael Jackson has died.
As a kid who grew up in the 80's and had the Beat It jacket and puffy Michael Jackson stickers, this is really sad news. As a pop and Motown lover, this is sad news. Not so hyped up on all the creepy allegations that came MJ's way over the last decade or so, but as a musician, he was amazing.
Enjoy some of the best pop songs ever written and imagine Michael Jackson hanging out with Elvis and James Brown in ghost world.

Men in like?
So the new record "Music For Men" has leaked and I can honestly say that for me, Gossip needs to rethink their strategy. Over produced, hookless...it's kind of a mess. That's not to say that there aren't any gems hidden within the record, there are plenty of them. "Heavy Cross", the first single, blew up with a fat bassline and Beth Ditto shouting her hot fat ass all over the track. "Men In Love" features a hook that will get stuk in your head for days. And surprisingly, there is a disco piano number that drops a few lines from The Slits' cover of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine". Pretty good. Other than that, it's a pretty demure record. I don't think Rick Rubin would've been my first choice for producer, I'd probably go with Dave Sitek or you know, if you want to go all the way out, Xenomania. I wanted them to go all fucking out. There's always hope for another LP...you guys can decide for yourself.

One more reason...
...To hate Perez Hilton.
So anybody who follows celebrity gossip at all probably already knows that waste of space Perez Hilton was punched in the face this weekend by Will.I.Am's manager outside of a club in Toronto. The story is that Fergie (of the Black Eyed Peas) went up to Perez and asked him why he wrote such nasty stuff about on his website while her outside of the MuchMusic award ceremony rehearsals in Toronto. The next night at one of the MuchMusic awards after parties, Will.I.Am approached Hilton and told him that he needed to stop writing about his "band" on his blog. And then things BLEW UP!
Well, they didn't actually blow up, but Perez and Will.I.Am exchanged words and Mr. AM's manager ended up punching Perez Hilton in the face 2 or 3 times!
Here's why: PEREZ HILTON CALLED WILL.I.AM A FAGGOT.
Perez Hilton who went off on the Carrie Prejean thing, Perez Hilton who's all up on gay marriage, Perez Hilton who is debuting Gossip videos, Perez Hilton who IS A FAG, called someone else a faggot because:
"My intention - however misguided it may have been - was to stand up for myself and tell this belligerent man that I had enough of his badgering and was not going to continue to let him berate and intimidate me. I wanted to hurt him with the word I chose, not anyone else...."
The excerpt above is from Hilton's 2nd Statement.
In his first statement, which was a video blog, he said "I was gonna say what I thought was the worst possible thing that THUG would ever wanna hear. I was standing my ground without being violent or physical, which I would never do."
First of all, Will.I.Am a Thug? No. Even if Will.I.Am were swinging a baseball bat at me I would never consider that dude "a thug". If you ask me, that's pretty inappropriate and I feel like if Justin Timberlake or some other singer who wears fat ties and fedoras (and who aren't black) were in Hilton's face he would never use "thug" to describe him. I think the Black Eyed Peas are total crap, and Will's solo music is even worse, but none of it has ever been even the least bit thuggish. His appearance doesn't suggest thuggin', his music doesn't promote the thug life, and telling a blogger to stop drawing cum on a bandmate's face could not be so intimidating that it warrants him being called a thug. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that's another poor choice of words.
Second, is punching a guy (or getting punched) really worse than having 10 million people who read your blog everyday and the rest of the U.S. and Canada hearing you use the word Faggot as a slur? I'm of the opinion that it's not.
I mean, here's the thing, I'm not disappointed or surprised as I have always thought Perez Hilton was a complete waste of space, but you would think he would know better. After GLAAD released a statement asking for an apology and everyone is giving him a dose of his own medicine by completely making fun of him, he's backtracking on what he said and trying to make it out like he's a victim of violence and all this kind of stuff. He's also suing the Peas' manager for like 25 grand for "intentional infliction of emotional distress".
Here's the deal "Perez" : You got punched. You deserved it. You actually deserve to get punched many more times in the face. You are an embarrassment to the gay community and you need to go away. F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
Okay? Ok.
Thanks.

forever is now
sounds like: mirrors, graveyards, wedding rings
I'm not sure if I understand what the above mentioned things actually sound like, but if mirrors, graveyards, and wedding rings=Forever then mirrors, graveyards, and wedding rings are AWESOME!
Forever is a Portland (via SF) based band consisting of Sheana (vocals), Jen (bass/vocals), Joel (drums), and Bob (guitar) (and formerly Dave and some other girl, guitar/guitar) and they are are totally punk rock in the cutest of ways. They make me feel like a sweaty teenager at a riot girl basement show drinking forties and smoking cigarettes while planning a revolution and dancing! I'm pretty sure there's a huge riot girl (or "grrl" if you are into that sort of thing) 2.0 movement brewing amongst us old enough to remember it but not really participate...and I'm pretty sure Forever are like the leaders of it...eventhough they might not know it yet.
Anyways...you'll get a chance to see their super fun live show in a town near you (they're on tour right now) and in Chicago on July 14th. They are set to play at Ronnie's, but I think are looking for bands to play with...so if you know bands who would like to play with Forever...drop us a line and we'll make sure it gets to them!
Scrawl something across your arms in lipstick and enjoy Forever!

Boner Dykes
So, I guess I'm out of the loop, but apparently there's some kind of ongoing feud between Beth Ditto and that skank Katy Perry? Awesome.
Anyways, "kitty purry" was angered when Beth called her a "boner dyke", or for those of you who are unfamiliar with the best thing I've ever heard, that's a girl who kisses other girls to attract men. This is HILARIOUS! Also-- When asked about calling the "I Kissed a Girl" drowning cat a "boner dyke" the only thing Beth said to clarify was "I feel guilty because it is such a funny expression and Hannah (Billie) didn't get the credit for it, but I don't feel differently than Hannah." A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Katy Perry really struck back by letting everyone know she is "not impressed" with Beth Ditto. That's all you got?
Of course, I'd be selling Beth Ditto short if I didn't mention that she went on to speak about the seriousness of Perry's flippant pop garbage of a song's effect on the public. She went on to say "It's not about Katy Perry. It's about this song and its innocence on her part. To her, it's just this party song. But as a gay person, it's like, 'Oh, of course this straight person singing about kissing a girl goes straight to Top 40 and people buy this record. Who can give a f--- about real gay people?' That's what's really painful about the whole thing. That's what makes me laugh about 'I'm not impressed.' It's like, 'Oh, that's what you think? Of course, because you never thought about what a real gay person feels, and the impact that a song like that has on the gay world in a time of crucial civil rights.' That's just one of the examples of what the mainstream is thinking about queer culture, when actually, we are completely fighting for our rights right now."
Beth also relayed a story of exactly how much it sucks to not have equal rights. You can read the original article here.
Add this to the list of things that make Beth Ditto amazing!
Boner Dykes
So, I guess I'm out of the loop, but apparently there's some kind of ongoing feud between Beth Ditto and that skank Katy Perry? Awesome.
Anyways, "kitty purry" was angered when Beth called her a "boner dyke", or for those of you who are unfamiliar with the best thing I've ever heard, that's a girl who kisses other girls to attract men. This is HILARIOUS! Also-- When asked about calling the "I Kissed a Girl" drowning cat a "boner dyke" the only thing Beth said to clarify was "I feel guilty because it is such a funny expression and Hannah (Billie) didn't get the credit for it, but I don't feel differently than Hannah." A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Katy Perry really struck back by letting everyone know she is "not impressed" with Beth Ditto. That's all you got?

Jessica 6 Remixed
Hey, Remember how a while back we posted about a new band consisting of members of Hercules & Love Affair called The Deep Red? Well, they are still a band, but they are now called Jessica 6.
We posted their track Fun Girl, which is a kind of dark disco jam, but it's gotten the remix treatment from German artist Keinemusik. I picked this one up on RCRD LBL, but you can pick it up here!
I'm really excited about this band, btdubs.

Beth Ditto for Evans
Photos of Beth Ditto's line for plus size UK retailer Evans have been released. The line will be offered in sizes 10-24 (or 14-32 in the UK) and are kind of 80's/early 90's style. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but this will surely be a welcome addition to the fashion world for bigger girls. The line will debut July 9th and for those of you interested and willing to pay a buttload for freight, Evans does ship to the U.S.!
Pictures of more of the pieces after the cut...
