Hey guys, remember MySpace? As much as you’d probably prefer to not recall all of your ridiculous and semi-shameful internet hijinks of yesteryear, it seems that the networking site is hellbent on not dying just yet.
Internet-folks will remember when, a while back, Justin Timberlake decided to get involved in “developing the creative direction and strategy for [Myspace] moving forward.” Well, a few weeks ago Mr Timberlake proceeded to tweet the above video out to his followers, and now there’s this fancy new landing page promising big things.
While it’s easy to write this off as another death throe from MySpace, the revamp has been gaining a surprising amount of attention over the last few weeks. It’s hard to see MySpace reclaiming its former glory from the now ubiquitous Facebook (in fact, it kind of looks like MySpace is giving in a little; enabling users to link in with their Facebook profiles), but the preview sure as hell looks a damn sight finer than FB’s clunky blue interface.
Will the near future see the return of MySpace, or will this whole thing fizzle out before anybody decides to give a shit? Only time will tell.
Uma Thurman has publicly released the name of her two month old daughter today: Rosaling Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson (or Luna to friends). Something tells me she is never going to find her name on a personalised pen or drink bottle. Seriously Uma, we get it, you are an actress, you enjoy the fruits of fame but what the fark? Couldn’t you have called your baby Blue? or Apple? or what about Chimney? Something short, catchy and easy to identify with.
Only time will tell whether Rosaling (or Luna, or whatever her name is) thanks her parents for her exceptionally long-winded label. Fudd thinks not.
Continuing on our undying quest to bring you guys the best in new-release music, Fudd is pleased to tickle your eardrums with a fresh track from soon-to-be-internet-famous pop starlet Gnesa!
The video clip for her song “Wilder” was released unto the unprepared cyber-masses a little over a week ago, and we’re just blown away that this girl has somehow made it this far through life secluded from the public eye.
But we know you’re just dying to witness it for yourself, so:
Are you crying? You should probably be crying right now.
This just goes to show how the internet and social media have truly transformed the face of the music industry for the better. All the best for the future, Gnesa! We can’t wait for your next release.
This story’s been floating around the internet for a while now, but it still manages to catch people by surprise. So here it is, to satiate your “scientific curiosity”.
A while back, some of the friendly folks over at the University of Montreal decided to conduct a survey comparing the sexual activity of guys in their early 20s who consumed pornography against those who did not. Of course, the whole study hit a snag when it suddenly became clear that nobody fit the second category.
“We started our research seeking men in their twenties who had never consumed pornography but we couldn’t find any,” said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse, science-man-in-charge. Bummer.
Not being much of a quitter, though, the Professor did proceed with the study, and found that (surprisingly enough) 90% of the porn guys consume is online, and that men in relationships watched porn less than their single counterparts. I could have told you that.
Reassuringly, the study found that pornography consumption did not effect the level of satisfaction within relationships, although the publicity surrounding the study ensured that nobody will ever be able to look at a Canadian man in quite the same way as before.
A pair of silky kitten heels are expected to sell at auction in Paris later today for upwards of $10,000. They don’t look so special, right?
Well, fact is that they were once (and only once) donned by the notoriously stylish Queen Marie Antoinette of France, who famously only wore each item of clothing once. Because outfit repeating is très bourgeois.
Also up for grabs: a white cotton muff used by the queen, a whole other bunch of royal paraphernalia, and a piece of cloth from the last dress Marie Antoinette wore prior to her imprisonment (and subsequent gnarly ending).
Ouch. Gotta be careful around those French people.
Well, at least, she does in Die Antwoord’s new video for “Fatty Boom Boom”. But it was such a good headline, come on, what would you have done?
Anyway, Die Antwoord don’t pull any potentially offensive punches in the new flick, surprise surprise, with Yolandi donning pretty thorough blackface for the entire video. Also a meaty Lady Gaga gives a fluid-heavy birth to a cockroach whilst visiting a seedy-looking gynecologist’s office. It’s hard to know whether to be offended when this level of surreal insanity rears its head.
Provocative? Crazy? Generally mindfuckish? Make up your own mind:
Oh, also Lady Gaga gets eaten by a Lion.
Summary: large amounts of provocative and potentially offensive racial innuendo, large amounts of bizarre Gaga dissin’.
The wait is finally over, guys. Prepare yourself, because the colonel of parties herself, Perth-based songstress Vee, has just released her latest effort “Flirtatious”.
Profound as ever, lyrical bombshells including “flirtatious, flirtatious” and “fl-fl-flirtatious” provide extensive food for thought as they’re crooned over what can only be described as one of the most exquisitely-produced dancefloor beats crafted in recent memory. Bonus points for a newly acquired semi-British accent.
But really, no words can adequately describe the experience of hearing it for yourself, so go for it:
“Let’s flirt in a caravan park,
Let’s flirt at a party in the dark,
Let’s flirt with my teeth on your tongue,
Let’s flirt, panties enormous.”
I think I might have got that last line a little wrong, unsure. Either way, you can’t deny that Vee’s lyrical prowess is shakespearian in its breadth, elegance, and power. Simply a superb effort.
Hooray! After a little sabbatical, it was decided that Fudd is still a little too young to die just yet. To celebrate what we can only hope will be a new flourishing of the blog, we’ve delivered a super-cool new whizz-bang layout. You may notice that your eyes now water with awesome every time you visit us.
For those of you scrolling down into our history, a warning: past this point things get a bit chunky, due to new styling rules that we’re too lazy to apply to our backlog. No apologies, we regret nothing.
Yes, it is exactly the way it sounds. Alternative Pop musician Grimes has her own accessories line, featuring resin jewellery in the shape of a vagina – how feminist chic!
98% of me thinks that these are more trashy than chic, and an indictment on the resume of the overtly cool Claire Boucher; 2% of me would sell the shoes off my feet to buy one.
