Handsome goes blonde for the Sake of Lick?



This is a messed up blurry picture of me in the "blonde off" competition at Blonde Ambition, our very own DJ Blondtrons party that she threw together to celebrate her favorite blonde peoples. I'm wearing a wig. I may have flashed my chest. I did not win. We put together an awesome podcast, which will be posted up Monday morning... and after that as per usual the crew hit the town... hard!

I love Saturday and Sunday mornings cuz I wake up to text from all my friends that go a little something like this:
"Ouch"
"What Happened"
"I will never drink again"
"I am no longer a man"

Keep you eyes and ears on HOTMESS.ORG for the latest podcast where we get down to the bottom of the serious massage debate that we have been having on the show for months.

THIS IS HARD CORE

So we're doing a new podcast tonight. It will include an interview with legendary Canadian Director Bruce MacDonald. He made Hard Core Logo and a shitload of other rad films. He also co-directed this kick ass documentary about the band Metric. This is part 1.

Slick dudes who aren't even that slick


My friend Seem D. and I were having a chat a while ago about how many slick dudes there are and how they're not even that slick. She was of the opinion that although they think they're slick, they're really not and I was all like, yeah!

She added to the discussion by referring to exact moments when she had encountered a slick dude who was trying to be all slick to her and she had responded by telling said slick dude how slick he wasn't.

In closing I'd like to reiterate that, as a dude, your actual slickness is not proportional to how slick you think you are. You're not even that slick, dude!

My Bloody Valentine

In the aftermath of the sexiest of all the Hallmark holidays I find myself asking- why would someone decide to drink a bottle of $100 champagne and then proceed to eat McDonald's at 2am?
Do they taste good together? No. Does it make sense? No. Did I puke? Yes.
In fact I woke up feeling like one of the victims from the popular cult classic My Bloody Valentine.


The only thing that made me feel better was listening to this song by the band My Bloody Valentine.



Find me a dope My Bloody Valentine remix and make me smile again.

It's FRIDAY! It's FRIDAY!

I love Friday, I love this Friday especially because I decided to drink champagne at work in my coffee mug and everything is just bubbly. We've got a fresh show tonight that will be up here by tomorrow so make sure you check back! In the mean time download all these fresh tunes that I've been seriously vibing this week. Have a hot and messy weekend!!!

There is something about the melody of this song, it's so fabulous, I want to go to a sock hop like right now.



And here's a fresh take from Madcon....



Madcon-Beggin (Original Version)

A weekend isn't a weekend without some crazy Kanye! Diplo KILLS the remix... (this is in last weeks show)



Kanye West - Flashing Lights (Diplo Remix)


Rabble rousing past guests Jokers of the Scene have been a frequent play on my ipod this week.



Scott Cooper & Andy George-Jump & Twist (Jokers of the Scene Remix)


I am not normally a big Drum n Bass person but this song makes me want to be in a work out montage in a triumphant sport movie.


Nu:Tone feat Natalie Williams-System (Matrix and Futurebound)


Jesse Rose is EFFING AWESOME. And I just like saying 'touch my horn'.



Jesse Rose-Touch My Horn (Mad Kids Remix)

I played this in our last podcast and it still is haunting my playlists, Grace Jones you crazy amazon woman, let's paint each other's bodies and make head dresses out of radiator parts.



Grace Jones-Williams Blood (Aeroplane Remix)

Daft Punk having sex with a Commodre 64

Boy 8-Bit is my favorite DJ right now. Not just because he makes kick ass beats that are like Daft Punk having sex with a Commodore 64 . Not just because he has a link to the youtube video for "Take These Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister under the " I Like" section of his myspace page. Not only because he kicks it on amusement park rides with the dude from Justice. Not only because he sometimes paints his face like Gene Simmons meets The Crow. And not only because he has a shock of hair, red like the fires of HELL. It's mostly because the shit sounds rad coming out of my Jeep speakers when I roll hard down the avenue like a goddamn pimp.

Release me from the kung fu grip of bitchy brunettes

Here are some of the new albums out today:
Lily Allen-It's Not Me, It's You
Dan Auerbach Black Keys singer-Keep It Hid
Busta Rhymes-B.O.M.B. (Back On My Bullshit)
Missy Elliott- Block Party
Warren G-The G-Files

I'd like to focus on Lily Allen for a sec.

Like, is it me or is there an abnormal amount of young brunette female singers walking around like their shit don't stink, getting high,singing about kissing girls and telling Elton John to fuck off?



Here's the problem. I can't tell them apart.

Grammy Whammy!

As much as I hate the mainstream corporate suck fest that is usually most awards shows I must say that last night's Grammys was actually pretty good. Thank you Radiohead for blowing my mind once again.



As Champ would say...

Radiohead knocks one out of the park....H-WHAMMY!

Got you Dancing

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Lady Sov. I had her on my myspace back when she had like 400 friends, don't question my street cred okay? Because I have a lot of it, I also had Thunderheist and Yelle when they had like 5 friends. I have a cooldar and it shouldn't be questioned.

Anyways, I love Lady Sov's new single, and the vid is pretty cool too. I was pretty freaked out to see her without her cornrows, or as we call it here on Hotmess, 'Migraine Hair'.

SuperBowel

SuperBowel is a new product idea I came up with. it's a 100% high fibre medicine designed to keep the old men who entertain us at the Superbowl half-time show regular. It's basically liquid Drano for the lower-intestine. There's no reason that Bruce Springsteen should feel constipated before he gets on that stage to bore the shit out of me.








Sorry "Boss" but I couldn't enjoy the party cuz I was too worried your knees would snap as you twisted and shouted your way around the stage.

I totally respect some of your older work, like NEBRASKA is a potent and sobering look at the American condition, but seriously it's time to put this shit to rest. That means you too Tom Petty and DON"T EVEN get me started on the Rolling Stones.

Here's something for the kids....

Ferry List




Alright, while the rest of the hotmess crew is out covering the RedBull 3styles competition I decided to get away to the Island. We here at the mess are going to get crazy busy so a little calm before the storm can't hurt. Here I sit on the ferry, it's 8pm and dark... and jack all to do except rock my pod so what better reason than to make a nice little playlist.

Serioulsy? I just looked over at the screens and BCFerries is playing a rousing episode of the Cheetah Girls! Look BC Ferries, don't you know that Disney is Shit! And all you over 12 year olds that are wearing your Tinkerbell swearshirts and Goofy hats right now, grow the fuck up, you look like an idiot and your friends are just too nice to tell you!

On to the music, Now as per Jay's request I'm putting out a call to all you DJ's out there he would like a nice remix of Elton Johns' "Island Girl" that way we could add it to our playlist and Awesome Jay would be oh so happy !



I kick off my Ferry playlist with some tracks from Common's latest Album "Universal Mind Contral" I particularily enjoy the title track, along with "Make My Day" which features Cee-Lo. Is the same Cee-Lo that had a rabbit in his hat? Finally I get to listening to "Announcement" it Features Pharell, nuff said.



Next, I got a little Fall Out Boy.. I bet your thinking Fall out Boy? Really? Yes it is true I am 15%emo, 20% Ed Hardy Douchebag, 20% American Apparel Hipster, 15% Gossip Girl watching 13 year old and 30% Eddy so get over it! So the Fall Out Boy track is "Tiffany Blews" off of "Folie A Deux" the songs says please remix me so I sit and listen to the original in anticipation of what some of you musical masterminds out there can do.



NEXT! Robyn, Robyn is great, she has been around for a while and now has a kinda new, album. I'm sure Blondtron is reading this and thinking about 95 reasons the swedish popstar is shite, but it is what it is! I'm listening to a Roger Sanchez remix of "Be Mine" which is actually not that good, but it made me think of the original which is really good so listen to the original, or another remix Im sure there is a good one out there, just not one by Roger Sanchez,thanks 1995!



Ok Almost Done "LMFAO" these guys are gonna rip your face off, but in a good way. There single "I am not a Whoare" Bumps your brain on the sides of your skull, and their live performance is wicked good. There album will be dropping soon, so check em out, and remember you heard it here first on hotmess.org

There you have it a few tracks to listen to when you have a long set of travel ahead of you and nothing else to do.. but again as Mr. Awesome always says
"Talking about Music is like Dancing about Architecture" so buy some music and make your own opinions, hell send them over to us, we might even post them up on here or talk about it in the podcasts.. theshow@hotmess.org

Vintage !
