We've received more than a few requests to feature a track from British songter, Patrick Wolf's new full-length, The Magic Position. So, here's the titular single in all its technicolor, poppy glory.

No official word on whether Wolf wolfs down the boys, but we have a sneaking suspicion. For more on Patrick Wolf, click here to relive the wonder of his first featured video, "To The Lighthouse".

Is it us or has today been dragging like a well-worn anus?

To tighten things up a bit, so to speak, let's all take a second to leer at model Leandro Okabe with a video from his shoot with The Boy. Guaranteed to make time fly by - or, at least, 2 minutes and 43 seconds…

Take a peek, after the jump…

Violence totally bums us out. Good thing we emailed our old, youthful friend Jack Pierson yesterday to see if he was going to a certain party. He sadly informed us he wasn't attending, but did send us some video of his friend and The Cock DJ, John Roberts.

The amateur auteur's filmed two shorts (that we know of), one of which features a mama fawning over her Christmas pine. Sure, it's funny, but ain't nothing compared to Roberts' take on feuding high school females in "Why Jackie And I Are No Longer BFF".

We've gone ahead and posted it after the jump. Give it a twirl and let us know what you think.

A particularly loverly reader by the name of Alan (a name that's popped up here before) sent us this video after yesterday's Rock Hudson v. J. Edgar Hoover post. It's a series of Hudson-related clips alluding to his closeted status.

Sure, it's kind of sad when you think that his homo-truth didn't come out until after he died of AIDS, but that doesn't trump the fact that we can't resist looking at that gorgeous face of his - seriously, they don't make men like that anymore. Or movies! (Although, yes, we take unwarranted offense to him playing an American Indian.)


It seems appropriate to post a little Manu Chao after that last post. Born in the Basque region of Spain, Chao (born Jose-Manuel Thomas Arthur Chao) and his family fled to Paris to escape Francisco Franco's regime. Their strong conviction for social justice and equality deeply influenced Chao and comes up often in his folk rock music.

Chao's always been an avid musician and worked with British rockabilly outfit, Hot Pants in the mid-80s. He had bigger things in mind, however, and struck out on his own as the century came to an end, releasing the critically acclaimed Clandestino in 1998. Sung in myriad languages, the album became an international smash, although didn't get quite enough recognition here in the States. Nor did his two follow up albums.

This here's the video for the titular track from his aforementioned solo debut. We've included an English translation after the jump. Regular babel fish, we are…

This may come as a shocker, but The Cardigans remain one of our favorite bands. Best known for their chart topper, "Love Fool", they're more than twee love songs and soundtrack ready tunes. They've record six albums, all of them good (okay, okay, Gran Turismo's not that good, but it's still entertaining).

We have to admit, though, that 1996's First Band on The Moon (the same album featuring "Love Fool") remains our favorite. Thus, here's the video for "Your New Cuckoo": the album's first track.


Let's celebrate our forthcoming collective weekend with a little Rick James, shall we?

(PS: The girl in the video looks so unhappy to be there - even when she's allegedly won over by Rick's loving words, innate charm and unbelievable braids.)


We had a bit of a tough time deciding on this morning's Morning Aural. We really, really wanted to post The Grateful Dead but the footage was either too wonky or too long. So, we decided to post what happens to be playing on our stereo: I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness. So, here's "According to Plan" from Fear is On Our Side. It was either this or "The Owl" - we decided on "According to Plan" because it has words. And what words they are..


A reader sent us an email wondering if we'd be interested in featuring a video of En Vogue's "Free Your Mind". Now, we've been thinking of En Vogue a lot recently so we agreed to post an EV vid. We're not much in the mood for "Free Your Mind", though, so we decided on our childhood jam, "Giving Him Something He Can Feel".


Just in case those Hollywood homos weren't inspirational enough, perhaps you'd like to sap some of The Pretenders' lead singer Chrissie Hynde's confidence.

In case you're too young and/or musically ignorant to know, this here's the video of Brass in Pocket from the British pseudo-punk certainly-rockers' self-titled debut. They since went on to record over a dozen albums, but none reached such chart-topping success. No matter, though, they're still fucking radical. Enjoy!


It's been over 48 hours since Out Magazine's annual Out 100 awards: the standard length of time needed to digest all the homo happenings. We must say, we haven't seen that many gay luminaries since…well, since last year's Out 100.

We must admit, it's all a bit of a blur. Good thing we brought along our crafty camera man, Ted, who chronicled all of editor Andrew Belonsky's misadventures. While some people were more than happy to talk to us, others were a little reluctant (that's an understatement). And, as you'll see, most people didn't even know who the fuck we were. Nice, huh?

Watch as Anne Hathaway says she could bench-press our fearless editor, designer Michael Kors brags about knowing everyone, Out EIC Aaron Hicklin lets us in on the secrets behind the selection process, Noah's Arc's Wilson Cruz gripes about not being admitted into the VIP area, Kelis hypothesizes on why the homos love her and Michael Lucas gives us shit for all the nasty comments (and, it seems, attempts to win Belonsky's ice cold heart).

We also managed a few words with Claire Danes. She really wasn't in the mood to be interviewed, but Cruz and Hathaway totally used peer pressure to make our dreams come true. Thanks, homies.

Oh, yeah, and we totally chickened out on flirting with Choire Sicha. We were so close, but he looked really busy (read: intimidating).


Yeah, we know, a little heavy on the Ted Haggard shit this morning, but we couldn't resist posting this video. It comes to us from our Canadian friends (we're so international) at The Hour and offers a little visual shenanigans for Paul Hipp's Haggard-inspired musical (a)musings.

Enjoy!

(Update: As reader Mike pointed out - and, actually, so does the video - this particular moving image has been pulled from You Tube. Apparently there's some sort of copyrigh situation between the creators and Paul Hipp.)


We're not sure how many of your out there are in NYC right now, but it's pretty fucking gnarly outside. We're talking serious doom and gloom - the kind of rainy day that seeps through the walls and threatens to obliterate any and all post-election elation.

To curb the dastardly weather's evil agenda, we've just watched this clip made by those twisted boys from adult swim's Robot Chicken. We should probably tell you that the posting on You Tube came with a warning and we're fairly certain the manager of Princeton's Barnes and Noble wouldn't approve.


Here's a little satire we found on YouTube depicting what would happen if President Bush asked Osama bin Laden to help save the GOP. Sure, the production value's kind of shitty, but it's quite timely. Also, if you look closely, you'll notice that Wolf Blitzer's just been named the sexiest man alive (he's quite virile, apparently).

Enjoy! (And vote…)


As we ponder whether or not you, our darling readers, love us enough to vote for us, we can't help but hear the JJ Fad echo, "Is It Love?". To show you how much we love you, we've posted the video.

In case you're not familiar, Just Jammin' Fresh and Def were a lady rap trio from the late-80s backed by Dr. Dre and Yella from NWA. While their single "Supersonic" roared its way through the charts and garnered them a Grammy, the rest of their musical musings went largely unnoticed. Unfortunately, the girls (Juana Burns aka MC J.B., Dania Barks aka Baby-D and Michelle Franklin aka Sassy C.) broke up in 1992.

Thanks to the miracles of technology (and You Tube), their videos live on.

Oh, and is it just us, or is that a young Blair Underwood at the end caught spitting game?
