May I ask you a whiskey sip?

Start it up.

Captain Fantastic

It’s spectacular how every day is just another annual fancy dress party for Sir Elton John.

Elton John was in the middle of his annual “White Tie and Tiara Ball” when he was rocked by the news of Michael Jackson’s death.

Thanks

Yes.

Flawless moonwalk at 3:46. FLAWLESS, ladies.

Kermit the Frog sings LCD Soundsystem

I can’t embed this video, so just grab a tissue and visit here to watch Kermit sing LCD Soundsystem’s “New York I Love You.”

iamdanmckinley: run it.

AND HEY–THIS IS NOT ANY KIND OF COMMENTARY ON THE FACT THAT I HAPPEN TO BE TEMPORARILY WORKING IN NYC RIGHT NOW. I just like LCD Soundsystem and Kermit the Frog together, dummy.

Lil Jon Gets His Own Wine Label

Yeahhhh!

Jon is also responsible for the pomegranate-flavored Crunk!!! herbal energy drink, which is largely available in the South and the Florida panhandle, a handful of Midwest states and California.

But while Crunk!!! is “bold pride, ridiculous parties and endless energy,” according to the beverage’s website, Little Jonathan Winery is “not no ghetto Boone’s Farm,” Jon said. “This is real wine.”

Michael Stipe is Gay

48-year-old R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe is finally ready to tell his alt.eyeliner indie fan base that he’s gay.

Oh, and the band has a new album coming out in a week or two…

Bottom’s Up

This was originally left as a comment on Gnarls Barkley from our great friend, Scary Bunny #77, but since we miss him–I thought it deserved its own post. He may have left Hartford, but he’s still a wanker. Struth!

Hey Bunnyfuckers, I can’t believe the re-tool of the blog, iz crazy man…

Anyway, as a former contributor, who is shagging a former lifestyle columnist from what was formerly a good place to live, I just wanted to say, well done.

Since moving to Dallas, I have wanted for sometime to start something that would provide that same sort of angst-ridden, creative outlet that SB did, but alas, it never happened. I mean, it wasn’t for lack of pentabulous ideas such as warymummies.com, which followed my best friend, who, as an under-11 soccer coach with an affinity for soccer moms, would regale me with stories and images of his most recent conquests; or even flairytummies.com, which chronicled the ever unpredictable movements of my bowels, in a picture timeline format. But of course they never came to fruition, because like always, as in most moments of complete brilliance concerning myself, I would sufficate any ideas with a nicely rolled blunt and the first twelve minutes of “The Wash.”

I would love to chat for longer, but my ride is waiting, and so in departure, and for the reason I attached it to the Gnarls Barkley clip, which is pretty hott by the way, I wanted to point you into the direction of Denton based band with a pretty cool Nintendo-related video on the internet… just cause I love it. www.myspace.com/ghosthustlerband.com, (i think). Just fuckin google it, song is called parking lot nights.

P.S. sorry it is not Hartford related, but because I don’t live there anymore, it is kind of hard to write about it…. and I still want to contribute, sort of.

He sealed the comment with a big kiss by giving his URL as “http://fuckwadhooligans.combitches”

Lowbrow, is that you?

Just when I thought I was out, they’re pulling me back in…

Introducing Spain’s entry into the upcoming 2008 Eurovision contest this May in Belgrade–Rodolfo Chikilicuatre with the song ‘Baila el chiki chiki’:

Originally conceived as a Eurovision parody, I think his four step dance moves including “El Breikindance” and “El Robocop” are going to go far. Since I’m already 1-1 on Eurovision predictions with Lordi, I’m not going to select my favorites until I have a chance to study all the contestants.

Gnarls Barkley: Run

I think that the new song “Run” by Gnarls Barkley is just the thing that I need to get me out of my winter slump. The video “leaked” onto the internet this morning in anticipation of the upcoming album in April. I also love that no one can dance in the video and, yes, that’s Justin Timberlake.

Space Blues

New blog on the local band and music scene in Hartford and New Haven, Space Blues.

Run it.

On edit: Just added another link to Birds, a local blog by a cool chick named Dianna who’s always supported us.
