I'm a Man Eating Machine

This 'Corporate Cannibal', the first clip on Grace Jones upcoming album, which is only coming 19 years after her last one! I love how creepy this clip is, it reminds me of the freaky, ring-ish Omodaka clip I posted not that long ago, although it has a cool 80's simplicity. It is basically a few straight forward shots with a simple filter applied over it, albeit very cleverly. Oh yeah, slave to the rhythm of the corporate prison...

Look at moi, look at moi, look at moi...

Oh my god, it has started. AAaaaaaggghhh!! I don't know where to look, my eyes, my eyes they are burning. How could you do this to me Molly Shannon, I trusted you, you were a a superstar. *sobs* Why?? WHY LORD HAVE YOU DONE THIS!!?!?

What fun these Brits be...

Apparently Brian Sewell has been described as 'posher then the queen' and in his televisual art criticism is want to engage in more hand-wavery then Sister Wendy . A highly conservative art critic for the UK's Evening Standard, he detests the modern and conceptual in art, preferring to pomp around Europe and expound on the classics. His decadent accent, clearly reflective of his taste, is the real joy, as he pours his voice over gluttonous foods and 'dirty, naughty boys'. Enjoy the clip!

Schapelle and Aussie Criminals

I don't know why I keep watching true Aussie crime stories when I'm at home by myself late at night. It might be ok if I was snuggled up with someone, who could take my mind of it after, but as it is I keep freaking myself out. I'm a fool. Last week it was the bodies in the barrels, which I never paid much attention to when it happened as I'm not particularly interested in the morbid details. For example, when I'd heard it was people on pensions that had been killed, I always assumed it had been old people. Of course, they were young victims on disability pensions, and others, and getting to see the tortures re-enacted, well wasn't that just fun and dandy. Particularly when its interspersed with footage of the rental homes around Salisbury & Elizabeth, an area I'm quite familiar with. Deeply unsettling. Then tonight I stupidly got sucked into watching "Schapelle Corby: The Hidden Truth", and like the foolish pawn I am, I now have to watch the s...

My Saturday Night with Facebook...

It won't fit here, so I have to link to it. Star Wars Fun.

Cyndi Lauper Rocks

In contrast to my somewhat long-winded Hard Candy rant, let me keep this short. Cyndi Lauper kicks Madonna's hard candy ass. 'High and Mighty' is an awesome track, produced by Amsterdam's Scumfrog, who has remixed Kelis, Bowie and Kylie among others. Below (audio only) are two of my favourite tracks, 'Echo' and the Basement Jaxx produced 'Rocking Chair'. Cyndi has apparently done vocals on one of the track's on their new album too, which excites me no end. (Still wish they would work with Annie Lennox, but Cyndi is almost as good!) 'Same Ol' Story' is brilliant too, unlike the big M, who droppd the f-word into 'I Love New York', Cyndi sings it with every chorus of 'It's the same old fucking story'. Also below is the first video from the album, 'Into the night life', by the same producer as 'Echo'. Have to go get my groove on now.

I'm a little very freaked out by this...

A woman came back from the dead. Actually dead, heart stopped, rigor mortis setting in, no brain-waves dead. Then she woke up. Jesus Fucking Christ! She just woke up and started talking. Probably about wanting to eat brains or something. Man I hope this is a hoax. *shudders* From some US news site : "CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A West Virginia woman is at the Cleveland Clinic after walking the line between life and death. Doctors are calling Val Thomas a medical miracle. They said they can't explain how she is alive. They said Thomas suffered two heart attacks and had no brain waves for more than 17 hours. At about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, her heart stopped and she had no pulse. A respiratory machine kept her breathing and rigor mortis had set in, doctors said. "Her skin had already started to harden and her fingers curled. Death had set in," said son Jim Thomas. They rushed her to a West Virginia hospital. Doctors put Thomas on a special machine which induces hypothermia. The tre...
