Oh no they DIDN'T!!!

Dear artists, you're better than this! This is easy money but it's audio prostitution!

Okay, who else is tired of present-day artists technoing the SH*T out of great oldies?!....sure, it's now danceable for the clubs and all the white-moustache freaks must appreciate this music (it mixes something familiar so they know they didn't slip into another dimension while still giving their hyped up neurons a beat while they bash agains each other inside their brain)....but for people who have better taste in music, or at least are clear-headed enough to actually listen to music without thrashing around like a baboon, it's a bit much ...and that's putting it VERY nicely.

Exhibit A:

This classica italian ditty

gained special attention when it appeared in this movie

got translated and some salsa injected into it

Then got techno-tortured

Exhibit B:

This beautiful eighties number

got a black eye from the black eyed peas

World Domination beginning in 10...9...8...

Miley Cyrusjust turned 18 today!

Now that's a hellofa Twilight pose for the b-day girl to be trying out for her party pics! (The neck-nuzzler is Avan Jogia, another Disney-toid)

Oh, beloved age of innocence, you swept by so fastly!

If before this milestone she's already been talked about for indecent photos

"uncomprehended" artistic pics

her infamous PDA with whoevers her guy-of-the-moment

her empire of Hannah Montana products

wardrobe malfunctions and racy performances and music videos

and an overall mature attitude,  at least fashion-wide,

as opposed to the sweet teen pop star she played on the Disney channel

all we can reel in from this is that it's totally been worth it since this newly-declared adult is one of the richest people under 25 (on the list as well are Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, just so you can get an idea of what we're talking about here). She's said in her most recent interviews, during the AMA's, that she doesn't celebrate a birthday but a birthmonth....So far, the only news we've heard from this celebration is that she finds a leather bikini top to be party-worthy and Twilight-like "posing" for pics has been going on with fellow Disney-star Avan Jogia (how the bleep do you pronounce that!?). Who can think about mommy and daddy breaking up with someone softly nuzzling your nape, right? (Like nooooooobody saw that coming by the way!)
In any case, what teen diva hasn't tried to get away with baring as much skin as possible?

17 year old Britney

18 year old Christina Aguilera

16 year old Hilary Duff

16 year old Hilary Duff---again

19 year old Mariah Carey

17 year old Rihanna

17 year old Mandy Moore

17 year old Lindsay Lohan

Tiffani Amber Thiessen from 15 - 19 years old

While most songstresses chose to rock the belly button piercing, Miley took it up a notch and got a tattoo...

So, before she gets the World on a platter on December 25th (you can only guess that's what she has on her Christmas list!), HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you and, err, congrats on not having a sextape or made declarations about vajazzling yet!

I propose a Sarcastic Anthem for Hipsters

While navegating through the friendly waters of Youtube, I came upon this song. It's lyrics against the intelectualoids sounded too close to the definition of most hipsters and seeing as we are an urban tribe known for our love of sarcasm and irony, I propose we take this song as an anthem of our kind:

Say Anything - Admit It!

Admit it!
Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance
And vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs
You know nothing about art or sex
That you couldn’t read in any trendy New York underground fashion magazine
Prototypical non-conformist
You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store Gestapo
You adhere to a set of standards and tastes
That appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges (bullshit) [ho, ho! a direct hit!]
Giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of music and art
Go analog baby, you’re so post-modern
You’re diving face forward into a antiquated past
It’s disgusting, it's offensive, don’t stick your nose up at me

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah

You spend your time sitting in circles with your friends
Pontificating to each other
Forever competing for that one moment of self-aggrandizing glory
In which you hog the intellectual spotlight
Holding dominion over the entire shallow pointless conversation
Oh, we’re not worthy
When you walk by a group of quote-unquote normal people
You chuckle to yourself patting yourself on the back as you scoff
It's the same superiority complex
Shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell
And makes you a slave to the competitive capitalist dogma
You spend every moment of your waking life bitching about

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah
And I say yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah

'Cause I’m proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar

Proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar, yeah

Well let me tell you this, I am shamelessly self-involved
I spend hours in front of the mirror, making my hair elegantly disheveled
I worry about how this album will sell
Because I believe it will determine the amount of sex I will have in the future
I self medicate with drugs and alcohol to treat my extreme social anxiety

You are a faker (admit it)
You are a fraud (admit it)
Yeah, you’re living a lie (hey) living a lie (hey) you’re life is living a lie
You don’t impress me (admit it)
You don’t intimidate me (admit it)
Why don’t you bow down, get on the ground, walk this fucking plank (yeah!)

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah
And I say yeah (what do you..)

Proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my..
Guitar, guitar go!

I drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, yeah
I drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, yeah oh

And I am done with this
I wanna taste the breeze of every great city
My car and my guitar
My car and my guitar
So you'll come to be, made of these urges unfulfilled
Oh no, no, no, no, no
When I'm dead I'll rest
When I'm dead I'll rest, lay still
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest

We love...RHPS

RHPS: The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yup. We've finally gotten all the trivia and pics we could to wrap up the Halloweenish entries for this year. On with the Shoooooow:

         
-The creator of the musical appears in the film....Yes, (not so) little ole Riff Raff himself is actually Richard O'Brien, the fantastically flamboyent writer of RHPS. We all remember that wonderful accent Riff Raff had, reason enough for Chris Colfer, the actor who plays Kurt Hummel on GLEE (who tributed the musical in their Halloween episode, titles "

 , to supposedly beg  to play that role.

-As mentioned above, GLEE favored RHPS for their spoookiest episode of the year. Here's a recap on the entire episode (this means ALL the spoilers!): Glee-wind. Check out who made a cameo!
