Toni.... Basil??????

WTF? Who is this chick? W-T-F is she babbling about? Do I really care? Well, actually, there times when I'm in between red carpet events, or not busy giving world leaders advice, or simply pondering whether I should really show up at the Nobel Prize convention to accept my several awards, when I think, "just what IS a Toni Basil?" A Toni Basil is one of those things that crosses your mind when you think the rest of the world is absolute shit and couldn't give a crap whether you got that Nobel Peace Prize or not. Kofi Annan once told me, "DUDE- you gotta let Toni Basil go. She's a total slut and those retarded pom-pom-toting antics of hers are just SO passe."
Anyway I guess there's a point to all her video's tom-foolery: to promote the song. And it does so. Not so nicely, but it does so. Um. Please watch this video. I mean, sure she's a bitch and all, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

This Band Blows

It seems more and more I'm reviewing these vids which leave me speechless. This is definitely one of them. I just can't figure out why people would actually sit around and come to an agreement that this is even a semi-decent video. There's so much goofiness going on it's ridiculous. It's definitely one of the most retarded trashfan vids. There were so many stupid looking screenshots I had to leave out, so I decided to choose three.
There's the flying nun, the guy with rollerskates falling, the guy frantically eating spaghetti... the list just goes on and on and I can't understand why they chose to use any of it! What does any of this have to do with the song??? Frankly, I think they're just totally clueless.
And, the song... I dunno, it's ok. I definitely like the bass line and the way the drums work with it is pretty nice. It's also got a nice clean 80s sound to it. Other than that, it's just ok. It's not like I would listen to it when there's anybody else around.

He Just Can't Stand Her Muff

This song has been popping around my mind the past few days and I just can't shake the fluff. There's a great quality to the sounds, which is a staple of Depeche Mode's music, plus the structure of the song keeps your ears interested throughout the song. They started quirky and upbeat, and eventually got more dark and polished til they reached their peak (in my opinion), with their album "Violator", with songs like "Personal Jesus", and "Enjoy The Silence".
Looks like they decided to scrap the S&M look. I guess they thought they looked so rough. It ain't nothing but a bluff. The singer's just a cream puff. You can tell he don't like muff.

Get Ready For Kooky Kate!

Now if you haven't seen this lady before, I know what you're thinking. You're like, did I just happen to stumble upon possibly the freakiest chick on the planet? The video is truly... unique. Kate Bush is a real interesting lady, though. It takes time for you to get to know her but once you do, you're hooked. Some people say Madonna is fake. Well this lady is QUITE the opposite, she's the real deal. She's obviously not afraid to show her true self even if it's a bit ugly or kooky at times.
Here's her gettin' kinky with Peter Gabriel.
I remember the first time I heard the song- I was really kinda freaked out, but then as I got into it I realized that as strange as it sounded, there was a kind of depth in her voice and the way she expresses everything. She's a true individual and she's honest to herself and that's why she's one of my favorite people in music, or even in the world. Who cares if she sometimes looks like a blow-up doll.
