Nonnie – “Sittin’ On Tha Toilet”

Jess McGuire — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:35:33 +1100

I was talking on Twitter earlier today about how brilliant I thought the film “Precious” was (go see it, please!) and the rather cheeky @trailofdan replied “Gotta say, Precious was nothing like the trailer. Was a bit disappointed.” and sent me a link to the following video. It might not be a great movie trailer, but in my humble opinion it might just be THE CATCHIEST SONG OF THE YEAR. Or at least the catchiest song of 2009. Let’s not get bogged down with irrelevant things like dates and times. Just watch it and enjoy, please. (more…)

Chopper Read Versus Alan Jones

Jess McGuire — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:52:37 +1100

Remember back in the late nineties when Elle McFeast had an intoxicated Chopper Read on her show, and all hell broke loose? And then columnists and broadcasters and television hosts fell over themselves to waggle their finger at both the ABC and the convicted felon, even though they too were happily riding the Chopper publicity train to Ratingsville?

The Only Thing Worse Than Valentine’s Day Is People Who Hate It

Brian Moylan — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 07:52:18 +1100

Of all of capitalism’s high holidays, Valentine’s Day is definitely the worst, with its corporate-sponsored emphasis on love, couples, snuggling and other disgusting things. The only thing worse? The people who empower it with emphatic hatred. (more…)

Ryan Tate — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 06:39:05 +1100

There was inevitably some cultural friction when Apple’s supremely secretive CEO took his new iPad around to New York’s professionally indiscreet media. Exhibit A is this tweet from a Wall Street Journal editor, which purportedly made Steve Jobs go ballistic: (more…)

Brian Moylan — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 01:41:32 +1100

Who didn’t behave badly at a Super Bowl party yesterday? At least your hogging the nachos didn’t land you in the gossip sheets. Also a drug-addled actress, a crotch-baring actor and a wife-berating comedian. It’s time for the kick off. (more…)

Hockey – “Learn To Lose”

Jess McGuire — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:10:46 +1100

Don’t ask me why but sometimes I feel almost guilty when I fall in love with a shamelessly catchy slice of indie pop. Why is that, I wonder? I played the BeeGees on RRR on Friday night, for chrissakes. Why on earth should I give a damn about what other people think of my music tatse, eh? Own it, McGuire. (more…)

Interesting Ways To Die #346: Singing ‘My Way’ In A Filipino Karaoke Bar

Jess McGuire — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:01:06 +1100

Ahhhh, karaoke. It is the best of drunken activities, it is the worst of drunken activities. We’ve all had a go at belting out a tune or two at a bar that where the ancient Japanese art of Pretending To Be A Pop Star is celebrated, am I right? And we’ve all probably also witnessed someone massacring a song to the point where it is nearly unrecognisable. (more…)

Marty Rhone – “Denim Or Lace”

Jess McGuire — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:01:00 +1100

Yesterday I was rather exhausted after DJing from 3pm until 3am on Saturday night (SERIOUSLY! BOOK ME FOR YOUR PARTY! BABY WANTS MONEY!) and basically spent the entire day lying on the couch watching television. I flicked over to the ABC and saw some dude singing the hits of Cliff Richard at an RSL that apparently also goes by the name Crown Casino. I can tell you exactly what I was thinking as I watched this strange little man belting out Sir Cliff’s biggest sellers because I sent a couple of text messages to Twitter. (more…)

The Best Google Commercial You’re Never Going To See Air

Foster Kamer — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 08:15:00 +1100

Slow clap for Slate V, who put together the following theoretical Google “commercial” that’s ostensibly – at the least – just a concept, and at best, a successful meme. Truth be told, though, Google should consider buying it. (more…)

The 3D Blue Warrior Dicktail Tribe Of Avatar Unseated

Foster Kamer — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +1100
