Ladytron — New “Ghosts” Music Video May 14, 2008
Here’s the music video for Ladytron’s new single “Ghosts.” I like it. And the song grows on you, trust.
Ladytron’s new album, Velocifero, will be released June 3.
Lily Allen: Topless And Awesome
INF Daily has some adorable shots of Lily Allen living it up in France. And all I gots to say about that is: “You go, girl!”
I Wonder What Kind Of Music Enhances Bag-In-A-Box Wine
Betty Brillz and I both love wine & music. Heck, who doesn’t? A new study suggests that playing a certain type of music can enhance the way wine tastes.
I don’t know anything about wine (except that I love it and will drink any kind that is offered to me), but you can read more about this study at BBC News. There’s even a nifty music recommendation cheat sheet. If you’re ever hanging out in a gay club, go with the chardonnay! Seriously.
Yes, You Can Has Free Dunkin’ Donuts Iced Coffee
If you didn’t get your mom a Mother’s Day gift (shame on you!), it’s not too late to make it up to her. Tomorrow (May 15) is Free Iced Coffee Day at Dunkin’ Donuts!
From 10AM to 10PM, you can pick up a free 16 oz iced coffee (choose from a variety of flavors!) at your local Dunkin’ Donuts. Shoot, it doesn’t even have to be local. You can travel to a faraway Dunkin’ Donuts, round up your friends and make a road trip out of it.
Now, it pains me to tell you that a free donut does not come with the free iced coffee. That’s where they get you! You’ll go in there expecting to get a free coffee and then you’ll end up spending $25.87 on donuts. I refuse to fall for that trick, which is why I plan on eating an entire loaf of bread before I swing by Dunkin’ Donuts to pick up mum’s gift.
Mandy Moore And Ryan Adams On A Walk (That May Or May Not Be Worth Remembering)
A couple of weeks ago I read some In Touch Weekly gossip about alt-country rocker Ryan Adams being “really into” mediocre teen pop star-turned-mediocre actress Mandy Moore. On Monday the two were spotted walking (though, not holding hands) together in Los Angeles (image via Jezebel).
First comes the tabloid gossip, then comes the photographic evidence courtesy of the paparazzi. Needless to say, things are getting pretty serious between Moore and Adams. I’d give them an obnoxious (but cute and totally necessary!) couple name, but I’m too busy trying to figure out what these two attracted opposites talk about together. Besides hair dye. Hmmm…
* * *
RYAN: I was doing speedballs everyday and I started talking to myself, man. I was out of control.
MANDY: I know what it’s like to hit rock bottom. Trust me, I know. I sung the song “Candy” and when I was 15, Justin Timberlake told me that I had big feet.
RYAN: Oh man, that must’ve been so difficult for you. How did you overcome all of that?
MANDY: Time. It really does heal all wounds.
RYAN: So you really think my hair looks all right this color? I mean, like, you don’t think those people sitting by us at the deli were whispering about me, do you? Because I thought I heard one of them say “too blond.”
MANDY: I think they were saying “crouton.”
RYAN: But do you remember seeing a salad at their table?
If All Else Fails, I Can Be A Moving Body For N.E.R.D.!
I’ve been happily unemployed for a few months, but all good things must come to an end…
This morning after I exhausted myself by submitting four online job applications (let’s hope the actual jobs are less work than the application process because damn, I’m pooped — I feel like I need a vacation on top of the vacation I’m already on!), I decided to unwind by checking out N.E.R.D.’s performance of “Everyone Nose” from Monday’s Late Show With David Letterman.
I liked this song when it first leaked a couple of months ago, but I’m “over it” now. I’m only posting this because I need a job. Like, really really need a job. And when I was watching N.E.R.D. perform, I couldn’t help but notice those moving bodies creating an eyesore on stage with them. What are those guys (surely they’re not so bold as to refer to themselves as “dancers”) and how can I be one of them?
This is the exact type of job I’ve been looking for my entire life! One that requires little to no skill, one that will make me feel like a rock star — a job where all that’s required of me is to just show up.
If one of those moving bodies should fall victim to an unfortunate accident and lose the ability to move, I can start immediately.
EDIT: Hey, looky here: the new music video featuring America’s favorite coke addict, Lindsay Lohan. Don’t blink or you might miss her.
John McCain: “She said, ‘Why did I want to discriminate against women?’ Teeheehe…” May 10, 2008
John McCain stopped by The Daily Show Wednesday to remind us what a pig he is.
“Today there was a very attractive young woman with a tee shirt that said ‘John McCain Doesn’t Represent Me’ … So I called on her and asked her what it was that she’d like to say. That’s the essence…”
I realize the man is, what, 120-years-old? But can’t he at least try to hide his old-fashioned way of thinking for a few minutes? Like we really needed to know the woman was attractive. Because that has SO MUCH to do with what she had to say.
When Jon Stewart cut McCain off to actually ask him what the woman (who, in case you forgot, was very attractive and young!) had to say, a surprised McCain nervously chuckled, “She said, ‘Why did I want to discriminate against women?’”
I don’t get what’s so funny about that question. But I probably shouldn’t be worrying my young pretty little head, now should I?
I have a feeling McCain will be moving into the White House in a few months and I am terrified. TERRIFIED.
Hello Kitty Airline, Airport, Soap Dispensers, Barf Bags May 2, 2008
Well apparently this isn’t new news but since I just learned of it a few minutes ago, it’s news to me and I’m really just at a loss for words.
There are actual Hello Kitty airplanes that fly in and out of cute, cuddly, cartoonishly-feline airports that carry on board chairs, soap, food, people, entertainment, sugar, napkins, toothpicks, and barf bags bedecked with the white, bow-adorned Hello Kitty that apparently has reached idol-worshipping proportions. No, really. God should be getting worried. I understand that there’s a pretty major commandment regarding having no false idols or something along those lines - are there airplanes bedecked with His image*? That within it contain chairs, soap, food, people, entertainment, sugar, napkins, toothpicks, and barf bags also bedecked with His image?
I wonder how Hello Kitty feels about gay marriage.
Also, apparently I’m not at a loss for words.
*Such airplanes/airports/in-flight accessories do not exist. I googled both “jesus airline” and “god airline” and the only results worth noting were an article about a pilot promoting Christianity on a flight (American spokesman: “That would be against our policy”), and an article explaining that officials at Nepal’s state-run airline sacrificed two goats to appease the hindu sky god. The only conclusions I can draw from this are as follows:
- There are no airlines to my knowledge bedecked in God’s image
- Too bad that pilot wasn’t in Nepal, he probably would have gotten a kick out of the goat-sacrificing
- I’ve had too much to drink tonight
Annie’s New Album Is Apparently A “Complete Modern Masterpiece” May 1, 2008
The neener-neenerheads of Popjustice have somehow managed to hear the new Annie album, ‘Don’t Stop’, and apparently it’s really fucking good. I don’t know how they’ve managed to hear it… I’m pretty jealous. But that’s neither here nor there. This is what’s important: there’s a song with call-and-response vocals between Annie and fucking Girls Aloud. That song also apparently features guitar work by Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos, which I only mentioned as a sneaky name-dropping technique for those of you FF fans out there.
Here’s the video for the first single, ‘I Know Your Girlfriend Hates Me”:
Here’s my favorite song from her last LP, ‘Anniemal‘:
Here’s another amazing song from Anniemal:
