Sex, News & Violins 12.15.06
Posted by Jamie Buttineau on 12.15.2006
The Decemberists fight Stephen Colbert and shirtlessness, Yo La Tengo go on tour and are probably sick and tired of all the "ass kicking" jokes regarding their album, Kanye gets sued by Super Dave's doppelganger, a teensy bit of news on The Arcade Fire and Lily Allen and M.I.A. goes insane. Oh yeah this column is packed to the brim.
Hello one and all, and welcome to the 30th edition of Sex, News, & Violins! That's right, there's now 30 of these freakin' things. THIRTY!! Damn that's a lot. And we're well on our way to number 50! Can we do it?!!....Probably!!
Viewer Mail
Hooray for email! This first one comes from Mike:
"Like Voltron if Voltron was made of sluts."??
Bahahahaahhahahahahaha!
Genius! - Mike.
I rather liked that one meself. What can I say, Voltron is too awesome not to use for metaphors about spoiled debutantes. This second one however does something that only fools do and that is disagree with me! HOW DARE THEE!! This one comes from Jannine:
I usually don't send e-mails about artists, but I read that and laughed
so
hard in disabelief. Fantasia is a double-platinum, four-time grammy
nominated, star of the second highest rated movie in Lifetime's 22 year
history, and the author of a New York Times bestseller?
Ummm, what has Daughtry done?
Jannine
What has Daughtry done?! Why he's captured the hearts and minds of America!! So much so that he was able to come in fourth on American Idol! That's what!
Ok, maybe Fantasia has done very very slightly better than Daughtry but I still say that time will tell who comes out on top between the two. But for now can we at least agree that Daughtry is doing better than Ruben Studdard? Can't we just get along Jannine?! Can't we?!
Headlines!
Each T-Shirt Shall Be Woven From The Hair Of A Fine Young Maiden And Machine Washable
Considering that the last time they held a contest it unintentionally got themselves dragged into a war with Stephen Colbert you'd think they'd be a little apprehensive about holding another one yet The Decemberists seem to love fan interaction too darn much for their own good. The hyper literate indie rock band are teaming with t-shirt website Threadless.com(which may be the greatest t-shirt website ever. Seriously, I want that facial hair club for men t-shirt) for a contest to design a t-shirt based upon their near 13 minute long prog-keyboard heavy epic "The Island".
Why should you enter such a contest? Well the grand prize package includes autographed copies of The Crane Wife on CD and vinyl, an autographed limited edition Decemberists lithograph, a Capitol Records 5 CD surprise pack, an "I Heart Threadless" t-shirt, a 12 club subscription to Threadless for one year, a $300 Threadless gift certificate, $1500 in cold hard cash and George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman Papers. Now that seems like a pretty damn good reason to enter such a contest. Makes me wish I had some artistic ability so I could actually design something. Alas, I no draw good. But one of you faithful readers could win, and then maybe give me a damn t-shirt or something. I deserve a reward! All entries can be sent in here. The contest ends at 11:59:59 on January 1.
In other Decemberists news, the band is scheduled to appear on The Colbert Report on December 20 to challenge Mr. Colbert to a guitar solo battle. That is going to be hella fun. They're also touring across Europe. I think I posted these dates before but hey, they make my column appear to be longer than it actually is. What more could you ask for?!

A Petit Amount Of Arcade Fire News
A very small update to The Arcade Fire's current tour itinerary. As reported last week the band plans to go to London in late January to early February and play five dates. Now the organ loving French Canadian group have added five dates in Montreal. All taking place at the Ukrainian National Federation. Which I guess is some kind of dance hall.
No word on any ventures to the US or elsewhere just yet. Oh and all tickets to the London shows are pretty much sold out anyway so it looks like your best shot at catching some Arcade Fire goodness is to head to Montreal. Oh, and the sophomore LP still comes out sometime in 2007. And hopefully it will be awesome.
Je ne parle pas francais:
01-29 London, England - St John's Church, Smith Square
01-30 London, England - St John's Church, Smith Square
01-31 London, England - St John's Church, Smith Square
02-01 London, England - Porchester Hall
02-02 London, England - Porchester Hall
02-06 Montreal, Quebec - Ukrainian National Federation
02-07 Montreal, Quebec - Ukrainian National Federation
02-08 Montreal, Quebec - Ukrainian National Federation

Now I Ain't Sayin' He's A Golddigger, But I Do Know All His Bones Have Been Broke Broke
Kanye West is getting sued. Ah Kanye, so talented, so awesome, so controversial, so dickish. The hip hop star is being sued because of the video for the single "Touch The Sky" which featured Lupe Fiasco and Pamela Anderson and had Kanye acting like a daredevil. Who is doing the suing you ask? Why none other than the man Kanye quite obviously based his costume on, Evil Knievel. I don't know what the bigger story is, that Evil Knievel is suing Kanye West or that Evil Knievel is still alive.
The elderly and most likely painkiller addicted daredevil filed a trademark infringement suit against West, video director Chris Milk and Roc-A-Fella Records in US District Court in Tampa Bay, Florida on Friday. Says Knievel of the video: "That video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I've ever seen in my life….and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public." Because if you want to catapult yourself onto the public, the best way to do it is by impersonating a washed up daredevil from the ‘70s.
Knievel is suing for money and wants distribution of the video to be halted entirely. How ironic is it that a man once known for bringing happiness and joy with his insane antics is now a total buzzkill? Sad.
Hooray For Cute, Edgy Brit Pop Singers
Lily Allen, she of the brutally honest brit pop album, Alright, Still has a few dates set up in the UK. Hmm, not a lot of US dates discussed this week huh? Anyway these particular dates aren't until March 2007, but I imagine tickets will go on sale soon. So snatch ‘em up I suppose.
Shame for you if you can't get tickets:
03-06 - Cambridge, Corn Exchange
03-07 - Wolverhampton, Civic
03-08 - Glasgow, Academy
03-10 - Manchester, Apollo
03-11 - Nottingham, Rock City
03-12 - London, Hammersmith Apollo
M.I.A. Goes AWOL
Now I'm not necessarily a huge fan of M.I.A., although "Galang" is catchy and all. So normally I don't pay much attention to her. But I do pay attention to people going batshit crazy. And thank my lucky stars, Santa has gone and given the present of indie celebrity insanity. M.I.A. recently posted a very long and loud diatribe on her Myspace page. How do I know it's loud? BECAUSE SHE WROTE EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE OUT IN CAPITAL LETTERS LIKE THIS. So you know she's mad (mad could mean angry or crazy in this case…Probably both). So I thought I would share this treasure trove of insanity with you all, with my oh so clever comments inserted here and there. Ladies and gentlemen, here come the crazy:
"I DID ALL THE PRINCESS DIANA THINGS.(And we're off to a good start) WENT TO SCHOOLS ,HOMES THAT WERE EMPTY BOMBED OUT BUILDINGS , VILLAGES WITH NO WATER ELECTRICITY ,(Hmm still sounds kind of better than my neighbourhood. Is it rent controlled?) SAW THE MOST RAWEST THINGS SINCE MY HEAD AND HEART GOT SHAT ON BY MY EX BOYFRIEND WHO WAS GONE TO SAVE STRIPPERS IN BRAZIL (Well that sounds like one crazy night) (COZ they ALWAYS NEED MUSIC TO DANCE TO)...(Well of course they do, they're Brazilian strippers for Christ's sake!)
I LOVE LIBERIA , AND I DO IM GONNA ADOPT IT. (Damn, that would definitely put Madonna in her place) I WILL GO THERE WITHOUT QUESTION. IF SRI LANKA....IS MY MOTHER COUNTRY THEN LIBERIA WILL BE MY MOTHERS BROTHER. (Uncle Sri Lanka?) AND THERE WERE T SHIRTS ON EX REBELS THAT SAID I LOVE LIBERIA.THAT WAS COOL.
I HAD A GUCCI SWEATER ON , AND THEY ASKED ME IF IT WAS REAL , I SAID NO AND THE MEN WERE LIKE OHHH SORRY IT WOULDA BEEN NICE IF U HAD THE REAL AUTHENTIC THING, AND I TOLD EM I WASNT SAD AT ALL. I JUS RATHER HAVE MY MONEY GO TO SOME POOR DUDE MAKIN EM IN CHINA OR AFRICA THEN THE POWER HOUSES IN THE WEST (But what about the poor people at Gucci M.I.A., what about them?!) ,THEN THEY GAVE ME THE LIBERIAN HIGH FIVE WHICH IS A FIGNER CLICKIN THING HARD TO DO ON A BLOG. (I'd say, I don't even know what a "figner" is.) AND I FELT LIKE I PLANTED A BUSINESS SEED IN THE MEN ON THE CORNER (…What the hell are you talking about?) DOING NOTHING WHO HAVE THEIR LEFTOVER AMO HIDDEN UNDER THE BED (Well I certainly hope they have some leftover "Andy" too) AT HOME IN CASE THE WAR STARTS AGAIN...
I BOUGHT T SHIRTS OFF THE STREET BOYS BACK, WHICH DIDNT GO DOWN WELL WITH ANYONE I WAS WITH, (Why the hell are you buying shirts off the backs of sweaty people from third world countries?) EVERYONE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS ROBBIN THE SHIRTS OFF THE BACKS OF THE POOR THAT WAS SOOOOOOO DISGUSTING HOW COULD I EVEN THINK OF THAT? (How did you think about it in the first place?!) , I DID OFFER LIKE WEEKLY PAY FOR SOMETHING THE BOYS GOT FREE FROM THE SACKS CHARITY CLOTHES DROPED ON THEIR HEADS. AND SOME OF THEM WANTED IT BACK LIKE "ACTUALLY I LIKE THAT T SHIRT I THINK ITS COOL TOOO" SO I GAVE IT BACK, NOW THEY FEEL THAT SHIRT IS LIKE THE BEST SHIT EVER, COZ HE HAD TO FIGHT ME TO GET IT BACK, AND ALL HIS FRIENDS THINK HES LIKE THE COOOLEST SHIT IN THE HOOD. (It was around this time I realized that if I ran this all through spellcheck my computer would probably explode).
ITS ALL GOOD!..."
That was fun. Amazingly there's more, after posting all of that gobbledy-gook, people who read it got worked over the mentions of M.I.A.'s boyfriend, or more likely ex-boyfriend Diplo, a DJ and producer. So M.I.A. posted a followup to her earlier insanity. Hold on folks, we're diving back into the brink of madness:
"PEOPLE WHO R OFFENDED ABOUT MY EX B O Y COMMENT. I M N O T S O R R Y (But what about us who are offended by your bad grammar and typing skills? Seriously, this is drunk person typing. No sober person should type like this) ...
WHY DID YOU THINK I WASNT READY TO SAVE MYSELF, NO ONE WANTED TO GIMMIE CREDIT FOR MY ALBUM THAT I PUT TOGETHER !!!!! (Who the hell else was anyone giving credit to for your album? Seriously, there has to be some incredible reality altering substances involved here.)
we can save ourselves!!!
WE CAN BE BAD BY OUR DAMN SELF!!!! (Preach on crazy no sense making sistah!)
THAT SHOULD INCLUDE WOMEN, IM SURE IF STRIPPERS HAD A VOICE IN OUR MEDIA , WE'D KNOW WHAT THEY THOUGHT, BUT WE WONT COZ IT HAS TO BE FILTERED THROUGH MEN AND THEY MONEY MAKING MECHINES. (But, in the last post you were against strippers, especially Brazilian ones. Now you want the voice of the strippers to be heard? You now want to lead the revolution of strippers? And man is there a lot of man-hate going on in this blog. Men have money making machines? And it doubles as a filter for strippers? Where's my money making stripper filter machine?! Also, what the fuck is a mechine? My spellcheck is starting to bleed from its ears.)
THATS WHY NOTHING CHANGES. (Well maybe if you had a more coherent mission statement..)
I WISH SOMEONE DID SOMETHING ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY HIP HOP HAS MADE OFF WOMENS ASS!!! (Well it is a growing marketplace) IN RATION TO HOW MANY WOMEN MADE IT IN HIP HOP PERIOD...
SEX IS GREAT!!!!! WE ALLLLLLL KNOW THAT!!!!! LOOK AT US DROP OFF LIKE FLYS AIDS IS EVERYDAY THING FOR US, TRUST ME. YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL AFRICA ABOUT A BUTT... (….Wow, I don't even know what to say about that one. It's like she's trying oh so hard to give this whole thing some kind of deep, philosophical meaning. Yet all that comes out is "SEX IS FUN BUT UM IT CAN TOTALLY KILL Y'ALL! SEX IS THE FUN BADNESS!" Also, why don't we have to tell Africa about a butt?)
YOUR THINKIN OLD BOY FORMAT, SEX = COOL.
AFRICA = STRAVING PEOPLE." (Now there's one hell of an equation.)
So I guess in the end the morals we have learned here today are that M.I.A. hates men because we use our money making machines to suppress the voice of Brazilian strippers, buys t-shirts off the back of third world people then gives them back, loves sex and has no goddamn clue how to use the capslock button.
So there you have it. M.I.A. is insane. I personally this isn't the last we hear from her crazy ass because, seriously, this stuff is gold. Sigh, I wish she could get dumped everyday.
RAPIDFIRE NEWS SMARTASSERY!!
The top 10 tours of 2006 were announced recently and surprise surprise, the top grossing tour was The Rolling Stones bigger bang tour. So I guess this does answer the age old question of whether or not people will pay a fortune to watch senior citizens prance onstage acting as if they were still at the ripe young age of 40.
Lindsay Lohan recently commented on her alcoholism. She says although her attendance at AA meetings only made news recently, she's actually been going to meetings for nearly a year now. She just really sucks at it. She blamed her partying ways on her career. So says her: "I work, I act, I have a living. That's what I do every day. I work every single day." Of course, she then followed up that statement by blaming her problem on the fact that she has too much free time. Man, irony can be such a bitch sometimes.
Fallout Boy's lead singer Pete Wentz apparently hurt his back while filming a scene for the band's next video. Screw whatever they were planning for the video, just loop the footage of Pete Wentz hurting his back over and over and over again and you got yourself a MTV award right there.
Korn is scheduled to make an appearance MTV Unplugged. Because I'm sure we've all been waiting to hear "Freak On A Leash" performed acoustically.
Yoko Ono's chauffeur was recently arrested for attempting to extort $2 million from her. From Yoko Ono? What the hell kind of freaky dirt could he have possibly had on her? This is Yoko Ono, she'd go on national TV completely naked and then dump the ashes of her dead husband all over herself while clog dancing and stabbing a dead zebra with a pitchfork all for the sake of art. How the hell are you going to extort her?
Emily Haines has stated that there doesn't appear to be a new Broken Social Scene coming up anytime soon in the recent future. This makes me very sad.
Axl Rose has given Chinese Democracyyet another tentative release date. The world nearly kills itself in laughter in response.
Prince will play at the upcoming Superbowl halftime show. Which will be awesome no doubt. Hey if he can make appearing on American Idol somewhat cool then the Superbowl will be a breeze.
Does Iggy Pop own a shirt? Seriously, try finding a picture of him with his shirt on. It's like looking for a picture where Ruben Stubbard isn't fat. I know heroin gives you great abs and all, but seriously throw a shirt on the guy. A tube top at least.
U2 recently wrapped up their Vertigo tour. Now someone help me out with this, but I swear on a drive to Toronto last week I heard a song on the radio that sounded like "Vertigo", had the same structure, and even the basic chorus just like "Vertigo", but brother it wasn't "Vertigo"! Did U2 rip themselves off? Kind of like "All Because Of You" sounds like "A Beautiful Day"?
Gwen Stefani says a reunion of No Doubt is very unlikely anytime in the upcoming future. Because why write music that's actually somewhat redeemable when you can make crappy cookie cutter pop and dance around with Asian racial stereotypes?
America, otherwise known as "that band with Neil Young" is making a new album. WITHOUT Neil Young. Yeah that's gonna go over like gangbusters.
Meat Loaf will tour America in 2007 to support Bat Out Of Hell III. Meat Loaf is a conflict of interests for me, on one hand he was in the Tenacious D movie. On the other hand, he covered a Celine Dion song. I don't know where I stand on this issue.
Billboard Top 20
1. Ciara, Ciara: The Evolution – Unless this has something to do with singing monkeys then I don't care.
2. Various Artists, Eminem Presents: The Re-Up – Oh gee, various tracks from Eminem, Fiddy, Lloyd Banks and some random other guys I care not even a little about?! I know what I want for Christmas!
3. Gwen Stefani, The Great Escape – Go do something worthwhile with No Doubt. And for god's sake you're nearly forty, stop acting like you just got out of high school! Dumbass.
4. Various Artists, Hannah Montana – That's still here?!
5. Various Artists, NOW 23 – Now that's what I call an easy money grab from greedy music labels.
6. Il Divo, Sempre – Great, freakin' Il Divo. If this is a Christmas album then I'll just have to hear it for a couple more weeks. If not, well then I'm probably gonna have to listen to it every time I walk into a mall. Malls love these guys, it's bland and uninspired enough to blend into the background of your shopping day, like musik.
7. Daughtry, Daughtry – I still say time will tell on the whole Daughtry > Fantasia issue. You wait and see
8. The Beatles, Love – Well, at least Ringo is probably getting a bit of money from this. He probably needs it. Poor Ringo. Probably used up all of his Shining Time Station residuals.
9. Sarah McLachlan, Wintersong – Boring feminine soft piano rock combined with Christmassy material equals an unstoppable juggernaut. Well done Sarah, you shrewd character you.
10. Carrie Underwood, Some Hearts – Just goes to show you that country music sucks so much that even an American Idol can win awards doing it.
11. Josh Groban, Awake – Girly man.
12. Akon, Konvicted – Still waiting for this guy to get a DUI arrest so I can make a funny pun with his album title. Come on Akon don't let me down!
13. Beyonce, B'Day – Not at all jealous that Jennifer Hudson is getting more publicity for Dreamgirls than she is. Nope, not at all. Not one bit. She doesn't want to jam his hand down Jennifer Hudson's throat, rip out her heart and show it to her. Nope, not even in the slightest, no sir.
14. Various Artists, NOW That's What I Call Christmas! 3 – Santa must be spinning in his grave.
15. Jay-Z, Kingdom Come – Worked as well as when Michael Jordan came out of retirement in the mid 90's.
16. James Taylor, James Taylor At Christmas – Something tells if you have Christmas dinner at James Taylor's house, chances are you're gonna be eating a tofurkey. Or a tofuham.
17. Rascal Flatts, Me And My Gang – For anyone who wants to defend country music, seriously try to defend these guys for me. Just try.
18. Tony Bennet, Duets: An American Classic – Nice to know there's still a marketplace for old crooners.
19. Fergie, The Dutchess – Everything that is wrong with today's world can be found in here.
20. Various Artists, Dreamgirls Soundtrack – Behold the drawing power of Jennifer Hudson!...And Beyonce too I guess. Maybe a little.
Important New Releases Of The Week…According To Me
Sufjan Stevens and Christmas. I'm sorry but there can be no possible negative repercussions from combining those two elements. This has success written all over it. The whole thing is one big box set containing Sufjan's 5 Christmas EP's that he's put out over the last couple of years. Now since Sufjan is a religious fellow you'll find lots of Christian carols about saints and Jesus and all that stuff. But there's also some fun classic non-denominational carols as well. All done with Sufjan's well known musical style, what with the fluttering flutes and banjos and such. So if you want a break from the regular Christmas crap you hear around this season (NOW That's What I Call Christmas! 3, I'm looking at you) definitely pick this up.
Is there anything funnier than the Soviet Union? Apparently not since this video is pretty awesome. The song itself can get a little repetitive and it's weird seeing this chick in the video singing it since I remember watching an episode of Conan with Basement Jaxx performing and there were two large African American women belting out the song at the top of their lungs.
Anyway the video has a cute Russian or Ukrainian or something like that chick in a bar surrounded with sweaty, hairy communists. What follows are a series of jokes about Russia and strange Ukrainian dance numbers intercut with scenes of a drunken man driving a tank. Oh and some dancing bears too. It's pretty damn funny and come on, dancing bears! What more can you ask for?
Oh and since it's Christmastime, I guess it only makes sense to post a Christmas related video. So here we go:
Here's a taste of music from the Sufjan Stevens Christmas album. It's animated and even has cartoon versions of Sufjan Stevens various backing bands. It's a sweet little video, although cartoon Sufjan seems a little bored or even annoyed in the video for some version. Also cheerleaders chanting while a grandmother is weeping seems a little bizarre. But overall, it's nice enough to get you into the Christmas spirit. Check it out.
Support The Municipality!!
Looks like you get a double dose of indie news this weekend as Ian Wright has his column up right before mine. Don't go stealing my thunder Ian!
The December Roundtable is up. I didn't participate this time but just because my opinion isn't voiced in there doesn't make it any less important…Well maybe a little. My favorite album was Joanna Newsom's Ys and let's say the losers of the month were, oh I dunno, K-Fed and Britney. Sounds good.
We also have just started a new feature here on 411music which you may recognize from the movie zone.The 411music Top 5 made its debut. This week is the top five Christmas songs. My top five would have been "What's This" from Nightmare Before Christmas, "Christmas With The Devil" by Spinal Tap, "Mr. Snow Miser/Mr. Heat Miser" from The Year Without A Santa Claus, "Fairytale Of New York" by The Pogues, and the one song I can't believe no one picked: "Things I Want" by Tenacious D. It's Tenacious D singing a Christmas song, what's not to like?
And finally Mikey MiGo has a new column up about songs about death. Perfect for the holidays!
IT'S OVER
And that's the end for another week. Just a quick announcement, this column will probably be heading to Wednesdays soon, switching places with Jared McGuckin's column. Not sure why but eh I'm not complaining. So that will either be happening this next week or the week after. So stay on your toes, you never know what day I might pop up on next! Tootles.
