We sort of blew our load on that BUTT post - sort of pun intended - so rather than doing our typical Queerty ReBUTTal (no relation), we've decided to post a few demented videos some of our straight male friends recommended.

Yeah, we have straight male friends. Astounding. Of course, they're not just any straight men. As you'll see by the collection, they're totally dope. Or is it doped up?

Speaking of absurd: can you imagine The Cure's Robert Smith pining away for Lily Allen? We couldn't until we saw this video "mash up" of Allen's "Smile" and The Cure's "Lullaby". We're not big fans of this kind of shit like this but we actually kind of dig it. We hope you do, too...

What perfect timing! John Polly over at the Logo-backed (and, really, what isn't?) just sent us the link to his interview with Lily Allen, the British popster we referenced in that last post and one of the top ten girls we'd bone. (We bet she's a really tiger in bed.)

Polly doesn't go quite so far. What a gentleman. Like a good homo-journo, he asks a few gay-themed questions. Allen rebukes a lesbian fantasy question, but does address homo-popster Mika. Well sort of:

JP: A new artist who gay audiences here are freaking out about is Mika. Are you familiar with him?

LA: Um, wait one second... [Lily talks to someone in the background for a minute. I hear, “Have they got cream cheese? Yeah, I’ll have that... Cinnamon.” The she laughs, and comes back.] Sorry, we’re getting a bagel order here. So what was the question?

JP: Mika is getting popular here, and I know he’s massive in the U.K. right now. Do you have an opinion about him?

LA: I haven’t heard much of his stuff. I’ve only heard the one song that’s on the radio in the U.K., which is called “Grace Kelly.” I like that; I think it’s all right.

• They may not have been able to get fingerprints from the blade that killed porn producer Bryan Charles Kocis, but police are hoping his computer's hard drive and telephone records will lead to his killer. We love a good mystery!

• Rumor has it American Idol's looking to replaced Paula Abdul due to her wacky ways. Why, then, would they ask Courtney Love to take her place? Seriously, someone please explain...

• Also, someone explain John Galliano's fall 2007collection to us, because we don't really understand the whole smeared lip stick, stocking thing. In fact, it sort of makes our heads hurt.

• Wait, the Bush Administration lied about global warming? We feel so...well, yes, deceived, but, honestly, we saw that coming.

• Speaking of government mistakes, The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Coalition for the Homeless say the government has not done enough to address the "epidemic" of homeless gay youth. (That's because they don't care...)

• In other mistake-related news, Kate Moss and Pete Doherty have apparently grasped the mistake that is drug addiction and have checked into rehab. Together.

• Lily Allen's "debut" album comes out today. As if you don't already have it.

Sure, the world has loads of problems - we've got HIV, cancer, global warming...there's plenty of shit on this berg that needs fixing. Of course, those are all pretty daunting, so it's probably best to sweat the small stuff first. Good thing UK-based Dr Harry Witchel just wrapped up an examination of the world's saddest songs.

Sponsored by Nokia UK, Witchel monitored heart and breathing rates of subjects to determine which artist's tunes evoke the most suicidal response. Ireland Online reports:

[Witchel] measured their "tune trigger quotient" measuring heart rate, respiratory response and skin temperature to find the saddest, happiest and most exhilarating tracks.

The happiest songs were measured by contentment judged on levels of sighs per minute (indicating the recall of happy memories) plus low level of boredom.

Sad tracks were indicated by decreased heart rate and exhilarating tunes by increase in breaths per minute.

So, which songs made people smile? Well, our girl Lily Allen's LDN has been named as one of the most euphoric - which is funny because that song's all about how things aren't as they appear.

We know you guys are totally the coolest, so you may have already heard about New Young Pony Club.

If not, here's a brief run-down: three girls and two boys make up this British band. Though currently touring with Lily Allen (you may remember we posted her video for "LDN" a few days back), and they've released two singles through Modular, the poppy electronica rockers have yet to sign a full-length record deal.

If any of you out there happen to be high-powered record execs, we suggest you hop on this particular pony, because they're definitely going to come out of the gate running. This here's the video for their single, "Ice Cream." We love it and think you will, too.

We're still shaking from the last post and we imagine (or, at least, hope) you are, too. To calm all our nerves, here's our girl Lily Allen's new video for "LDN." (London in text speak. Gotta love 21st-century grammar, BTW!)
