This recent salute to disco-inflected yacht rock via DFA's Surahn has the contrived retroism of Instagram. Thus its fuzzy, washed-out video is perfect. It also sounds like the kind of music that I imagine the male line drawing from the original Joy of Sex would play, so the cover art for Surahn's upcoming EP is perfect.
Frank Ocean has a friend who goes by the name Willy Cartier (real name: Willy Leservot). According to this Tumblr, he is an "It hot boy" and a "a model with French, Vietnamese and Senegalese background." His androgynous beauty is what Andrej Pejić's androgynous beauty is to actual women. Close, but too femme for a cigar.
Police in Missouri say they've arrested a 20-year-old man who was days away from committing mass murder at a local screening of the new Twilight movie.
Fat asshole Roger Ailes granted a surprise interview to TVNewer's Chris Ariens this week. Ailes, the president of Fox News, is generally reticent with the press, choosing to emerge only occasionally from his gay-proofed News Corp bunker and defend the ideological histrionics of the news team he has assiduously assembled over his 16 years at Fox when a controversy emerges. Here's what he told Ariens, by way of criticizing what he perceives to be a pro-Obama sentiment among his competitors: "The press is supposed to watch the powerful. And not throw in with them."
This one really needs no comment because, well, it's a 25-lbs. portrait of "Honey Boo Boo Child" Alana Thompson made entirely out of trash.
Some of the most exceptional contributions to modern culture were admittedly produced while on too little sleep and too much Internet, and this simple-yet-stellar mashup/sync-up of LCD Soundsystem's "New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down" and Miles Davis' Elevator to the Gallows score is no exception.
Twilight is over. Day has dawned. The final film has premiered. And Kristen Stewart is ready to go home now, thank you.
Christina Aguilera and Lana Del Rey both released collections of new music this week. Neither artist is a great diva in the neo-classic, pop sense of the word, but both have potential. To evaluate their diva status, I will shamelessly crib a comparative schism that Tyra Banks has routinely used on America's Next Top Model: each of them has what the other does not.
Lindsay Lohan probably thought she was in for a soft-ball interview when she swung by the Good Morning America set this morning to talk about her new Lifetime movie.
No longer satisfied with playing second fiddle to peanuts at all your sportsball games, Cracker Jacks is getting x-treme. They have created a new line, Cracker Jack'D, which contains caffeine and is meant to, yes, jack you up.
If you are gainfully employed, it's likely that meetings are part of your life. And, no matter how much you protest, they're not going anywhere. Here in the Business Casual series, written in conjunction with the join.me crew, we covered your sweet work-from-home setup, and now we're going to address the dreaded phenomenon known as "meetings" and how to make the best of them. With a little help from Kenny Rogers.
Unionmade is an upscale men's clothing store, based in San Francisco and celebrated by GQ, that sells $258 "Vintage Styled Work Shirts" and $68 Cow Horn Combs and $565 "Vintage" Levi Jeans, and things of that nature. The company says that it "aims to improve the lives of our customers, community and suppliers by offering fairly priced products made from the best available materials." You might want to know, however, that Unionmade's products are not union made.
