Back in June or so, I posted about the Wonder Girls, a Korean girl group that were (are) trying to make it big in America. Things have taken a turn for the awesome. The following clip has gone viral. A little boy in a dress does a very impressive copy of their dance for the song Nobody .
It’s about time to put up a assload of music posts again so bare with me. I have disliked Cheryl Cole’s solo album away from the rest of Girls Aloud. I know part of it is because she is my least favorite member, but it also because the songs are sorta a lot meh. One song snuck through though and I have no idea. Parachute is overly catchy and I want to punch it in the throat. Maybe it’s the repetition of words that happen, yet are sung at different speeds and in different keys. I tend to like that sort of shit.
Funny story. The song is about how Cheryl has some guy that will catch her if she ever falls. Also, she sings about how “they” want to see her and her man fall. Which is funny, because her husband, footballer Ashley Cole, just became the Tiger Woods of England with like 86 mistresses coming forth. Guess no one is catching your ass now Cheryl. Go buy that parachute.
Hollyoaks cast changes continue as 11 more actors have been fired. 4 had been fired previously and 3 quit so that is 18 in one year. And I hate every character but 1! All of my favorites are sticking around thank goodness. Below is the only one I’m going to miss and she isn’t even an important character. Suzanne Ashworth is the mother of the clan of useless trolls that are the Ashworths. She gets constant grief from this mixed bag of douchery and usually maintains a fair bit of humor. Too bad the actress is shackled to those flying monkeys.
Oh the losers getting kicked the fuck out are as follows, Calvin, Leo, Sasha, Spencer, Lauren, Dave, Des, Newt, Archie, Hayley, Zak (slightly a tiny bit sad about this one), Josh, Reese, Jake, Loretta, Kris and Neville. Peace out, losers.
I watched one of the strangest and therefore awesomest movies yesterday. It had been on my Netflix queue for ages and I finally got around to it. The Happiness of the Katakuri’s is the tale of a family who move out to the country and buy a B&B. Unfortunately, all of their guests start dying and when a body is found, or for any reason, the family starts singing and dancing. Sometimes, for action scenes, everything goes claymation and it’s batshit. The opening of the movie says it all so take a look. Always watch out for angel fetuses trying to steal your uvula.
Oh my god. I’m having a nerdgasm. Some of my favorite ladies of Marvel are joining forces to combat a long thought dead hero turned villainess. She-Hulk, Hellcat, Emma Frost, Agent Brand, Valkyrie and Monica Rambeau vs. Frankie Raye AKA Nova, ex herald of Galactus. I cannot wait to see Hellcat and Valkyrie join forces. The most awesome thing of all is that this is a weekly series. 5 issues. 5 weeks. Pure awesome.
I haven’t had a Roison Murphy post in a bit and I just came across a good song with her as featured player. Crookers is some DJ team or something and they have decided to bring the RM into the mix with their song, Royal T . Roison really does some wailing and I digs it like a pony digs a grave for its blind owner. ?!
Hollyoaks is finally back to firing on all cylinders again with this whole Holly going missing story. Cindy, 2009 Drama Female Nominee, is in rare form. She is still in bitch mode, but she is in sad bitch mode, so it is quite a change. She’s in make up that makes her look like shit with the crying and the yelling at people about stealing her kid. Too bad Holly is just hiding out somewhere to pull one over on Cindy and Tony for being sucky parents. Here is a summary of last weeks goings on in the story.
This family of freakshow clowns pleases me to no end. Crystal Swing is a red hot country trio made up of mother, son, and daughter. For whatever awful reason, someone has allowed them to produce two albums this year. And now they are on public access and supposedly on the late late show on Irish network TV. That’s right. These people are country singing Irish people. The accents make things really weird right off the bat and things get even weirder when the kids start singing sexy to each other. Durvla gives us a really special bit at 1:57 when she sings while rubbing her brother “You’re so naughty, touch my body and just call me pretty.” Familial love right there. Also worth noting is the mom’s sexy winks at 1:04 and 3:16. She knows that camera is there and she wants camera fuck you to death. Meanwhile, I have had this song in my head for 4 days. Shoot me now. FREEZE ON CREEPY SMILING FACES at 3:55

From the company that brought you Pride & Prejudice & Zombies and Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters comes a new classic for all to enjoy. Android Karenina. Check the synompsis below and prepare for the awesome.
As in the original novel, our story follows two relationships: the tragic adulterous romance of Anna Karenina and Count Alexei Vronsky, and the much more hopeful marriage of Nikolai Levin and Kitty Shcherbatskaya. These four, yearning for true love, live in a steampunk-inspired 19th century of mechanical butlers, extraterrestrial-worshiping cults, and airborne debutante balls. Their passions alone would be enough to consume them–but when a secret cabal of radical scientific revolutionaries launches an attack on Russian high society’s high-tech lifestyle, our heroes must fight back with all their courage, all their gadgets, and all the power of a sleek new cyborg model like nothing the world has ever seen.
To go along with this previous awesomeness we have the cover art below. I’ve never read the original, but this looks like top notch lunacy.
I’ve had this song on my list for about 2 months and have continued to avoid it because I just had to put up this song or that song instead. When is it Billy’s turn? Now. The song Billy Don’t Be A Hero is a special little number that seems to be a cover of a song of the same name by Paper Lace, the group behind previous poor 70s track, The Night Chicago Died . Anywho, this version became popular in American while Paper Lace’s less quality number did in The UK.
About the song itself, it’s some sentimental pap smear about some dude who goes off to war and dies and it’s like anti-war or something maybe. The lyrics are silly, but I dig it just the same. Please to listen.
