I was thinking about doing a "My Top Obsessions" but that would require a lot of work and I'm sure it'd be like John Edwards, robots enslaving humanity, Radiohead and other things. You can try it for yourself.
Then I was going to do a "Top 10 Least Appreciated" that would have focused on the posts that i was actually kind of proud of and that I thought were unique, but of course all my posts are beloved children (albeit some may have had more heart/emotion/gin behind them) even if I get strangely happy whenever I can fit in a "crotch shots" tag. All that being said until they find Steve Fossett's body I'm sticking with my original theory...

(and on a related note the L.A. Times listed their most popular stories of 2007 and a little surprisingly, but not really "Old Mike, New Christine" was the number 1 viewed piece and it just seemed fitting because, even though I can't read it anymore without getting very emotional, that was definitely the most important article/column/confession I read this year, probably ever, and also was a pretty direct impetus for the most important/hardest thing I did in 2007. )

Your Kinda Gay Video of the Day

Today has been a really shitty day for me (hooray mood swings!) so this is going to be short and probably crappy tonight but I'll make it pretty in the morning. Anyway I was originally going to post this last Friday night but I got too philosophical and sanctimonius, it is Electric Six and their amazing video for Gay Bar because if there is one thing I want to do is take you to a gay bar, and spend all your money.
And if you don't enjoy the video for the overwhelming catchiness of the song and funness of the video, then enjoy the thought that, if Abe wasn't President from the mid 19th century, if he was Abe from Santa Monica in 2k he would be going to a few gay bars. Maybe. Enjoy


and I'm going to try to be happy in the morning. I would kill for a ciggie right now; I wish I hadn't given them up.

Your Kinda Gay/Stuck in My Head Video of the Day

I was going to write my (obviously long awaited) treatise on the whole Paris Hilton saga of the past three weeks but I've become a little down and somehow today has become a bad day and I'm sad and almost crying for no reason I can think of. Damn Hormones (sorry just previewing TMI Wednesday.) But with that in mind I can't really put forth the knowledge or effort (or even pretending to care) about writing that post right now so I'll try to squeeze that in some time tomorrow.
Anyway enough problems. I've had this song in my head all day, since I walked my dog this morning; with its chorus stuck in my head (C'mon chemicals...C'mon mood swing swing back to good again) I should have known it was going to be one of those days (along with the lightheadness that I've had all day). But it's a great song from Of Montreal , they came to Duke when I was like 4 people who knew who they were and they put on a great concert on the Plaza while some were wearing at times barely nothing while others were in part dresses and I'm sure all of the were on acid, but we bonded. And this is from their new album Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? It was the first single of that album called Heimdalsgate Like the Promethean Curse. Be prepared; this video is incredibly bizarre, but more importantly you will not be able to get it out of your head. Here's the video and I'm sorry for bitchin' and not being on top of my game but I'll (hopefully) be back to speed domani.



Ciao

Your Kinda Gay Video of the Day

while we're on the subject of things I haven't done for awhile. I remember when i was trying to have the kinda gay video be a regular thing but it only ended up lasting, oh three times before i realized that it could be difficult and a little dumb.

But anyway I wanted to post this video the first time I saw it just because I really thought it was hilarious, but then I kind of let it slip my mind and lost any occasion for it. It's from It's Always Sunny on Philadelphia and the episode "The Gang Sells Out."
for the record I think he's an otter.



(apropos of nothing, much?)

Your Kinda Gay/Stuck in My Head Video of the Day

This song isn't really kinda gay unless you count naming your band after a movie directed by Jodie Foster (who may be kind sorta..you know and I actually met at the premiere of) but the song has definitely been stuck in my head all day. The band is Little Man Tate from either Leeds, Manchester or Birmingham (unless they're not) and correction their from Yorkshire. They do have a song about a crossdresser but this is not it. This is What? What You Got?
Good song, fun video; enjoy


It has been a long day (filled with so many posts; oh my!) so I'm headed to nightie land,where I'll dream about wearing a cuter nightie. And you, of course!

A domani

And finally Your Kinda Gay/ Stuck in my Head Video of the Day

So today I saw Red Eye, which was a lot better than I anticipated, which had a pretty badass female lead. And this is one of those bad ass strutting songs. It's by Peaches (O Canada) and its off her newest studio album called Impeach My Bush. The song is called Boys Wanna Be Her and I guarantee that you will be singing the chorus for the next day or so ( until the next installment of this treasure series of course) and feeling pretty bad ass the whole time. Enjoy

Your Kinda Gay/Stuck in My Head Video of the Day

I love this song and its been stuck in my head all day (in fact I put some of its lyrics up on Facebook in "About Me") and the subject matter has lead to speculation about its lead singer's sexuality. The lyrics are here if you can't understand his rather intense accent. The band is Larrikin Love (who apparently already broke up after having formed in 2005.) I had been thinking about profiling them tomorrow in B.B.E. but I thought better of it (I have a doozy planned) so you got off lucky. Anyway this was their first single "Six Queens."


Love. It.
