wanna make sweet love in the moonlight.

the video you are about to see is difficult to explain with only the words available to me. most people i showed it to were so completely baffled that they found it difficult to laugh, breathe, or do anything but stare in disbelief. sometimes its so ridiculous its hard to believe its for real and not a pisstake.
the hunk you see in the video is some scene kid who was in the year below us in college. he's really short and to the best of my knowledge he can't play the guitar. to the best of my knowledge guitars don't make jaunty synth riffs either.
look out for the bit where he spins around with his arms out. you couldn't make this shit up.

dfd has love for new york.

i love new york may seem like just another ridiculous, trashy mtv reality tv endeavour, but i don't think i can stress just how entertaining it is. the show focuses on tiffany 'new york' pollard, who appeared on the equally ludicrous flavor of love and achieved fame through being, in her own words the 'Head Bitch In Charge' (or HBIC for short), clashing with pretty much every contestant on the show before getting eliminated in the final. but apparently the world hadn't seen enough of new york yet, and she was invited back halfway through the second series to help mr flav eliminate contestants, eventually becoming an actual contestant again and being knocked out in the final. again.
the basic premise of i love new york is pretty similar to flavor of love: a bunch of fame-greedy morons competing (and more often than not fighting) to win the 'love' of a c-list celebrity. i mean flavor flav is pretty sick, just look at that clock necklace, but surely he has girls throwing themselves at him anyway, and putting them in front of a camera will only make them more desperate and fake.
the men of i love new york are quite a diverse bunch, ranging from the vertically challenged gangsta 'midget mac', to quiet clearly mentally handicapped 'it', to absolute dweeeebs like 'cheezy'. 'tailor made' seems to be so in love with new york he will screw over every contestant in the house in the sneakiest way possible whilst keeping his psychotic stalker gaze locked on the woman of his dreams. it seems hard to believe that any of these men genuinely do 'have love for new york', as i can't find one attractive feature about her. she's just a complete and utter bint. but this just makes the desperate and embarrassing attempts of her suitors all the more entertaining.
its shows like this that make me wonder how low mtv will go. they've managed to make 2 seasons out of a spinoff of an already ridiculous reality tv show, in which all the contestants are broadcasting to the world their attempts in chasing after that which most normal people regard as one of the most important and personal things in life i.e. love. surely these relationships have no hope of a normal or healthy outcome?
the second season of i love new york (apparently things didn't work out with the winner of the first season. shocking) has just been showing on mtv one at at about 2am every night. i'm not sure if its still on or if the season's over, but i'm sure you can find it on the internet somewhere/wait for the inevitable repeats. those hungry for more i♥ny related madness will be glad to hear that you can now tune in to see 'new york' try (and supposedly fail hilariously) to become an actress in new york goes to hollywood, see her try her hand at being an actual human being and get a job in new york goes to work, and witness two of i♥ny biggest imbeciles run for city council in tailor made & it run the city. also in a recent poll tiffany held (this woman literally lives in a reality tv show), the public voted for yet another season of i♥ny. fingers crossed!

Smoker in 'castaway' bid to quit

A former banker is marooning himself on a remote uninhabited island in a radical attempt to stop smoking, it has emerged.

Geoff Spice will spend August as a castaway on Sgarabhaigh in the Outer Hebrides, far from the temptation of cigarettes.

He will have to camp during his stay as the island has only three ruined 'bothies' - huts once used by shepherds - and no electricity or running water.

Mr Spice, who used to be a senior banker at NM Rothschild in London, hopes the solitude will help him give up his 30-a-day habit.

He told newspapers: "This is my last chance. I've been smoking 30-a-day as usual but I think I can crack the habit.

"I also hope that living on the island and surviving by myself will mean that I will not pile on the pounds as other people do when they give up."

Mr Spice, who lives in Surrey, reportedly began smoking 43 years ago as a paperboy.

The island of Sgarabhaigh is owned by Dave Hill who also runs its website.

A statement on the website reads: "August 2009 will see us install our most recent Castaway on Sgarabhaigh who is going to use the solitude and distance from tobacco to cure himself of his smoking habit.

"His name is Geoff and he will be taking residence for the whole of August along with his stock of 120 books."

what's big, pink and hard?

a pig with a flick-knife wheyyyyyyyyy.

i've never really got into the whole shoegaze thing, its not that i don't like what i've heard i've just never really set time aside to get into it. recent bands like the raveonettes and glasvegas have attempted to emulate the shoegaze sound with varying degrees of success, but none of these have managed to grab my attention and adulation quite like the big pink have.

the big pink are a duo from london who blend spellbinding white noise and reverb with epic electronic beats and lyrics about breaking hearts. they've already toured with tv on the radio and they're starting to get all the right kind of attention from blogs and the media alike.

you can download their upcoming single dominos from their website for free, which you should definitely do because its fucking fantastic and the chorus will be cemented in your brain for a good few days. also velvet, which featured on the mixtape i posted this week, is a must-listen. here's a few for you to download:
