Happy Friday! It’s Mixtape time once again and since the thermometer has reached over 40 degrees and it’s not snowing, I have decided that it is officially pre-spring! That’s right, the countdown has begun – only 15 days til the first day of spring! I’m getting ready for short sleeves and even shorter skirts. And in honor of that, I thought I’d bust out the sexiest video I’ve seen in quite some time (not including porno, duh).
Here it is – The Clik’s Lucas Silveira (Canada’s Sexiest Man! The first transman to ever win the title! Swoon!) covering Beyonce’s Halo.
Happy Friday! It’s Mixtape Rewind time again in these parts and I am excited about this week’s pick! With all the 2010 Vancouver Olympics talk we’ve been doing, we’ve actually yet to talk about my favorite figure skater of them all, Pennsylvania’s own Johnny Weir. Totally flamboyant and amazing (though he refuses to disclose his orientation… but duh), Weir is the most interesting thing to hit the ice since Tonya Harding fled the scene.
I was super bummed that I missed out on Johnny performance at this year’s games and I hope I can rummage around the web to find a video. But until then, this awesome routine to Lady Ga-Ga’s “Poker Face” will just have to tide me over.
Since we’re all being bombarded with Valentine’s Day crap I thought I’d use today’s Mixtape Rewind to break down love, Porn Librarian style.
So, we’ve all been in the magical place where everything is right in the world and life and love are full of possibilities. Maybe you’ve just gotten home from your first sleepover or perhaps you finally managed to say hello to that cute barista. It doesn’t matter, because it makes you feel like a kid again.
It turns out your lucky enough to have turned your crush into a relationship! You start to say “we” instead of “me.” You plan things for the future – it could be trip in two months or a kid. It feels like nothing could go wrong and maybe you’re right.
Sadly, this is where the road that we’ve all traveled down splits. You either grow old together or you start over again. Fortunately, both options are full of opportunity and great songs to relate to. I guess this is where you have to pick your own ending to the story.
It doesn’t matter if you’re spending today with the love of your life, a group of friends or your cat – embrace the roller coaster that is love and appreciate all you’ve learned along the way, even if things always seem to end in heartbreak.
While I had a whole other mixtape picked out for today, I actually heard this in the car on the way to work and I just knew I had to post it.
Man oh man, did I love Nine Inch Nails back in the day. I remember being a bratty teenager, blasting NIN on my discman and totally ignoring my mom as she drove me to and from the mall to hang out with my other gothy mallrat friends. I’m not sure why I’m telling you this, other than to totally humiliate myself on the internet. But really, isn’t that what the world wide web was made for? Anyway, aside from my highly embarrassing mall stories, NIN still colors my early memories about exploring sex. Yeah, I definitely lost my virginity* to Pretty Hate Machine…
* Ok, it wasn’t really my virginity virginity. But it was the only time I’ve ever slept with a bio dude, so I guess it’s some sort of virginity. And yeah, that means I gave my v-card to a lady. And don’t worry, I’m being totally appropriate… we were adults at the time.
Happy Friday. Now back to denying my shameful mallrat past…
I probably should have just stuck with my original idea… far less mortifying for myself.
Today’s mixtape rewind is for those of you who are old enough to have seen Pretty In Pink in a movie theater. My older brother and sister took me, although I’m guessing they didn’t have a choice. We smuggled in twizzlers and hung out after with their super cool friends while waiting for my mom to pick us up. It was essentially the best day of my young life.
A great song from Phoenix and a fantastic mash up of some of John Hughes’ best movies!
Happy Friday to all! This week has felt exceptionally long and I know we are all ready for the weekend. One total bright spot during the week was the announcement that hip-hop queens SALT-N-PEPA have joined the Dinah Shore 2010 line-up!! How awesome is that!?!?!
So in honor of how super excited we are to see these spicy ladies of rap, here is a classic throwback that we are crossing our fingers to hear live. I think this gem may have graced the mixtape rewind before, but it’s totally worth a repeat performance.
So I’ve been obsessed with this band for like the last two weeks but the last time I looked I couldn’t buy the freaking album in this country. It’s killing me, but maybe things have changed since I checked last weekend. Until then, I have the band’s myspace page bookmarked so I can stream them over and over again.
Everything is better with banjo.

Happy Friday! With the holidays falling on two consecutive Fridays, our weekly Mixtape Rewind got a little bit lost in the fray. But here in 2010 we are back and better than ever!
Today’s mixtape rewind is awesome. While I never really need a reason to feature The Gossip as our mixtape, today I actually have one. Well, it’s a stretch, but still, it has a porno tie-in.
Yesterday I decided that I would review Courtney Trouble’s Roulette Dirty South today for Monday’s movie review. And ever since I made that decision, I’ve had this Aaliyah cover song in my head.
Dirty South, can you really feel me…
And good luck to Trouble tomorrow at the AVN Awards where her movies NoFauxxx Roulette and Speakeasy are BOTH up for Best Music Soundtrack awards! Woohoo!
ps. I have no idea what this video is. I don’t think it has anything to do with The Gossip, but it was the only non-live version of the song I could find with a video…
