Wolf Panda t-shirts are finally back in stock. Everyone's favourite (fake) Panda garage band are out of retirement and appearing on quality American Apparel tees. People will stop you in the street and compliment you on your awesomess when you wear these. True story.
Trying to find something worth writing about. It’s a bit grim. And the RSS feed isn’t really helping. The iPad thing is already ancient, everyone in the world has linked to that Unhappy Hipster site, we find Hypebeast ‘unfulfilling’ and Kanye’s site is just filled with images of him ‘hanging’ at Fashion Week.
Maybe it’s time to knuckle down and do some real work? Or start out own Tumblr about something? Or attend to the garden? It’s a goddamn jungle out there… Figured moving into a place with a garden would be on some Great Gatsby isht – you know, garden parties, hammocks, gardens. That sort of thing. It’s not. It’s just long grass. And snakes.
Yeah, we know, this is older than the universe Internet, but we’re trying to ‘build up content’ on the stupid site. Also, a IRL friend spammed our Facebook with a quote from this. A reference that would have eluded all but the nerdiest of our online ‘friends’. Sort of like this video…
Our weekly Trashbag column has gone up over at Lifelounge. Aside from naked Miranda Kerr pics there’s also much YouTube awesomeness. You should have a look if you haven’t already done so. Also, if you want to know what happened to your Flying Car you’ll want this link.
If you want a weird video about ‘massaging’ your cat, retro Perfect Match goodness and the best news ever about Robert Rodriguez Machette hit the LL link above.
We’re still here. Just. Brain has been weird this week. Maybe it’s the fallout from the Brangelina drama? Or just a plain old head cold. It took Red Bull, scotch, fresh fruit and Happy Mondays’ 24 Hour Party People on loop to get any work done this evening. Brutal. Still, it could be worse, we could be writing about the iPad. Or giving middle aged businessmen hand jobs in dark alleys. Ugly, ugly thoughts…
If we had a Team Evil house-band they would be called Ikari Warriors. Not sure what they would sound like – probably have some Japanese girl out front screaming. Doesn’t really matter, they would have a cool name, snappy soundbites and look good in press shots. Which is what really counts.
Hard to believe American Apparel founder, Dov Charney, has a slush fund set up to fight all the sexual harassment charges employees keep throwing his way.
Sometimes, for lots of boring reasons, an article that was intended for a particular magazine or website won’t end up running. Rather than wasting the minutes hours some of these rejected pieces took to write, we figured we’d just upload them here…. #1 Everyone famous died in 2009 (abridged)
…………………………
If it feels like everyone famous died in 2009 it’s because they pretty much did. As far as bad years for staying alive go, 2009 was right up there. Everyone died. All the time. Amongst the high profile deaths we had Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcet, Brittany Murphy, DJ AM, that Kill Bill guy, Bea Arthur, Patrick Swayze and a bunch of others. Read the rest of this entry »
We don’t hate this. But then we don’t love it either… Maybe it will grow on us. Or get a good remix. Or MIA will just give up on this music thing and marry her billionaire industrialist.
Muscle March - arriving on WiiWare sometime soonish. It’s already been a big gay hit in Japan and now it’s getting a local release. As far as we can tell, you’re a muscle man who has to chase other muscle men around and wrestle with them. Or something like that. Oh, and before anyone gets offended, we’re going with the Gavin McInnes / Vice magazine defense on this one – “but we love fags.”
So here’s the thing, I though ‘Doom Pop’ was a legitimate sub genre. Like art-rock, or chill-wave, or crab-core. Turns out I invented it… sort of.
I’m not sure where the term comes from exactly, but I always though it meant melancholy 80s pop. You know, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, some Pet Shop Boys, Kate Bush, etc. I just went around calling all that stuff Doom Pop and didn’t think about it.
Last week I decided to Google the term to see what other music was out there in a similar vein. Um, nothing… Turns out there is no such thing as Doom Pop (the sub-genre). Does that mean I invented it? Or am I just rubbish at Google search? Either way, here are some videoclips.
The Smiths – Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before
