Country WRONG. (I was going to make a play on the first part of the title, but Mel Gibson has us all trumped on c-word references with his classic "Smug c*nt".)
I dunno. Picking on Harry Knowles on Videogum is kinda like the snarky popular kids in junior high making fun of the asthmatic D&D geek during lunch hour. Not that I'm against the right of the asthetically gifted to absolutely shatter the self esteem of those less fortunate - hell, I think it should be an Olympic event - but as someone who gets AARP literature mailed to me on a not irregular basis, engaging in this particular form of social Darwinism is like drinking a can of flat soda. I know some people are into it, but ewww. Fortunately, writing all this crap made me forget what this post was about. Justin Bieber!
I think the magic of Daniel Songer (aside from his overt eroticism) is that you can watch him and be all, "this is hate speech!" - but it's not! It's a comedy act! He should add yo-yo tricks.
CocoRosie always makes me think of the twins from The Shining. If those little girls had grown up and decided to make music together, this'd be them. And even though they're sometimes a little too shrill, too meandering, and sometimes generally too "out-there" for my tastes (and I'm being generous compared to most of my friends on whom I've unsuccessfully subjected CocoRosie), I continue to give them a chance with each new album. Why? I think no matter what hits my ears, they're going to give me a jolt. I'm not going to be hearing the status quo. I'm going to be challenged. Sometimes that challenge is going to keep right on going over my head and into the clouds, but I know I won't be bored. Sometimes...usually...okay, most of the time, that's what I want from music. Other artists add some sugar or honey, but CocoRosie choose to serve up their brand of crazy raw and ungilded. It's not something I could make a steady diet of, but every now and again it's exactly what I need to hear. Are they pretentious? I don't know. Sure? Does that always have to be a bad thing?
This is one of the most fantastically awful things I've ever seen. I'd say it's like a car crash, but I think it's easier to turn away from actual carnage than it is to turn away from this video.
Today it's "funny, I guess". Tomorrow we'll realize far too late that his five words are the new standard by which all comedy is judged. Because that's just how Zach Galifianakis rolls.
Well, he does appear to have a nice chest. Put a bag on his head and I'd watch that clip. CGI Denzel Washington's head over Jim Carrey's and I think you'd have a hit in America. They should get George Lucas in on this.
Amish people are so lucky because they're blissfully ignorant of things like this. I guess I could say the same about people in comas. Yeah, Amish coma victims have it good right about now.
Harmony Korine should have directed it, and they could have called it Gum. Or Carrie Fisher's hairdo could have starred in it, and it could have been called Bun. Or Whoopi Goldberg could make a comeback and it could have been called Nun. I'm sorry.
Just seeing that man's Cosby-inspired TJ Maxx sweater threw me into a fit of righteously indignant rage. He didn't even need to open his painstakingly manscaped mouth.
I can't see the video clip for this post. Does that mean Gabe is racist for posting it incorrectly, or am I the racist because I can't be bothered to download his blog the right way? I thought Firefox was the racist for being incompatiblegum, but I can't see it on IE either. Maybe computers are racist. I just want to know who the racist is so I can watch the racism video. In the meantime I will watch Damages on DVD because it is racy.
