Sweet Jesus. Madonna’s cameltoe has its own MySpace page.
I worried that Madge would have me killed for reporting this bit of “news,” until I saw that Madonna is friends with her cameltoe on MySpace. But hey, for as much as she exploits her body, it’s only fair that her body exploits her back.
The fine folks at RememberTheEighties.com have sent out another newsletter. Here are a few news bites:
* DEPECHE MODE are to release a new single in October. The track ‘Martyr For Love’ was recorded as part of the sessions for the band’s recent ‘Playing The Angel’ album but was left off the album because it was ‘too upbeat’ for the rest of the album. The single is expected to precede yet another Depeche Mode best-of collection. (Yeah, because we really need another Depeche Mode best-of.)
* NIK KERSHAW’s forthcoming album will be called You’ve Got To Laugh. The twelve-track collection will be released independently by Kershaw and although no release date has been set it is hoped that the album will see the light of day in the next few months.
* SIMPLE MINDS’ ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ is to be immortalised in a forthcoming documentary of the same name focusing on film director John Hughes’ coming-of-age teen movies from the eighties – including “The Breakfast Club,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Ferris Buller’s Day Off,” “Weird Science” and “Sixteen Candles.” Simple Minds are to be filmed for the documentary which will also feature interviews with Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Kelly Le Brock (“Weird Science”), Mia Sara and Alan Ruck (“Ferris Buller’s Day Off”) along with more interviews still to be scheduled.
And, lastly, an announcement which may lead to a duel between The Chauffeur and yours truly:
DEPECHE MODE, THE SMITHS, JAPAN and ERASURE are among artists featured on a new interactive DVD music quiz from Q Magazine. ‘The Essential Music Quiz’ will be released on November 27th after being launched at the annual Q Awards on October 30th. The quiz features audio and video snippets from over a hundred bands across the history of music and also includes material from ART OF NOISE, BRONSKI BEAT, SIMPLY RED, DEAD OR ALIVE and ADAM AND THE ANTS among many others.
The Knife * The Slits * Hot Chip * The Black Keys * Madlib * Ben Lee * Deerhoof * Blonde Redhead * The Boy Least Likely To * Blue Cheer * Joseph Arthur * Erase Errata * Green Milk from the Planet Orange * Cold War Kids * Silversun Pickups * Califone * White Whale * hellogoodbye * Anathallo * Dr. Dog * Professor Murder * Archie Bronson Outfit * Keren Ann * Jucifer * David Bazan * Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin * Oakley Hall * These Arms Are Snakes * Micah P. Hinson * Portastatic * Cloud Cult * Jason Forrest Band * Thunderbirds Are Now! * Strike Anywhere * Percee P * Mute Math * Suzanne Vega * Extra Golden * 120 Days * The Fever * Girl Talk *
I’m not totally and utterly underwhelmed by the number of big names – CMJ is all about breaking new artists, after all – but I did immediately raise my eyebrows at two of those listed: the Slits and Blue Cheer. Fans of ’70s punk and ’60s garage rock are twitching with glee…
The panelists this year, however, are the real cause for celebration, if only for their diversity. Names include Chris Stein (Blondie), Pat DiNizio (the Smithereens), Janeane Garofalo, George Clinton (Parliament Funkadelic), Roger O’Donnell (the Cure), Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big), and…wait for it…Don fucking DOKKEN, baby!
“Nigel Tufnel? Never heard of him.”

She may possibly just belch the kid out.
Britney Spears has announced that her second child was unplanned and a complete surprise. We are not surprised at all, given how basically everything since her first marriage has been completely unplanned. From the marriage to K-Fed with the bridesmades in pink sweatsuits to the post marriage buffet of fried chicken, Zingers and Tab to Sean Preston’s birth to Sean Preston’s near death experience to Britney’s gum chewing interview to her new video featuring her amazing I.Q. and so on.
“It is now starting to get a little tiring, holding (Sean Preston), but the whole pregnancy I’ve done it a lot because he’s very attached,” she tells the magazine. “It makes me feel needed and wanted, so I like it too.”
Yeah, because God knows your fans have loudly walked out the back door and K-Fed is only in it until his album debuts and dies, so keep pumping out those kids, Brit.
As everyone knows, today is my older brother’s birthday (Happy Birthday, Chris!). On a side note, it’s also the day Elvis Presley died all those years ago. Now, I don’t usually pimp my own product around here, but every now and then I sit around and make music videos that I then upload to YouTube. Many folks have enjoyed my tributes to The Velvet Underground, my surreal clips for Billy Joel and Todd Rundgren, and the little girls totally loved my video for the “Totally Spies!” cartoon. Well, my latest endeavor is one called “Viva Fat Elvis.” It’s atribute to the King and hisfinal glory days in 1977. It hasn’t been rated well, and the comments are possibly more entertaining than the clip itself. Nah, scratch that. Bloated E.P. looking totally out of it is always funny. Anyway, enjoy the clip, the comments, and the groovy cheeseball graphics.
