Another Summer Mix. Is this the third one?

OH MY, PICNIC

Hey, dudes! 01. What is this thing? 02. Dum Dum Girls 03. Those Cold Cave folks have so many remixes of this on their new EP. Shh, but I think their remix EP turned out better than all of Lady Gaga’s remix EPs. Maybe “The Fame (Glam as You)” is ok. I kind of really want one of those “Alejandro” t-shirts, the one where she has a bird on her head, but $25 + shipping? So, so sad about that. 04. Hunx + His Punx, you should watch all of his videos. I wish there were Hunx t-shirts, they’d probably only be $10, and I could wear them everyday even though I’m not really into t-shirts. 05. All Saints Day is the new thing from the Vivian Girls’ bassist so I am obligated to care about it, because I love Katy. Except she's so shy, she never calls. 06. Oh? This album is kind of long and not very diverse, but it’s nice to see Matador working with weird indie rock bands again. Bummed they resigned Interpol. 07. She’s a classy lady! 08. Still kind of ambivalent about Glasser. Her debut album is coming out pretty soon so I guess I’m looking forward to that, maybe. 09. This is some crazy dude who performs under Perfume Genius, the entire subtext of his bio is like “Well he’s probs going to be dead soon,” so—

10. I’m not sure if this is a band or just one person? Tamaryn? Anyway, everything I’ve heard from her or them or whatever so far reminds me of a female version of Disintegration, so maybe you’ve been waiting since 1992 for Robert Smith to make a worthwhile album again, too??? But this lady might have had me get over it already. 11. Can you find Sufjan! 12. From last year’s Boston Spaceships’ thing. As a longtime Robert Pollard devotee, the part where he goes “I love the coastline solo,” it not in this song, but it's so nice! So, so nice. 13. Frankie Rose was in the Vivians and some other bands, too. She seems pretty ok. 14. More Hunx. The video for this one has kinky Cheetos, but “Don’t Cha Want Me Back” has kinky everything (see above.) 15. Cosmetics 16. I met someone several years ago who was really into Kate Bush and made me this really shit coffee one afternoon while listening to The Hounds of Love, going on and on about how amazing it is. I noted “I know, it’s so much better than this coffee, too!” although she knew I wasn’t joking and we never actually became friends. Maybe she and Wild Nothing would have? 17. Why won’t you recognize how psychedelic I am??? 18. Annie! She is from Norway, and you should love absolutely everything about her, seriously.

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement

An Open Letter to the Actress: Milena Govich

Dear Milena Govich, Hey, how are you? What is up? Well, I assume you might get 5-7 fan letters a week, but I hope the glitter on my envelope stood out to you. In all seriousness, I have not been the most loyal fan of your filmography, but in the opening credits of the 2006 show, “Conviction,” I got to see you in your underwear. Ever since then, I have been one of your most active online stalkers (not a crime in all states I think). In the next letter, I promise to include an underwear photo for you, so we'll be even. Milena, I remember even back to the days when you worked on one of those other 200 Dick Wolf projects you did...what was the name of that show? “Law and Order.” Yes, that was it. You made history as playing the first female lead detective on the “Law and Order” original franchise for your role as Detective Cassidy. However, I will have to note your performance was strongly tainted when Chevy Chase guest-starred and gave you the nickname, “Detective Sugar-Tits.” At leas
