Band of Skulls

Last time I saw Band of Skulls (at the Media Club last year), they hadn't yet put out their first album, but had some buzz behind them and were a lot of fun to watch. They were back in town this weekend, playing a couple of sold-out shows at Venue, so I was curious to see how far they'd come in the interim.

First of all, this band has a pretty good-sized fanbase in Vancouver, judging by the turnout and the energy in the place. They didn't let Granville Street down, either. They do a gritty sort of blues that is reminiscent of the Black Keys, in all the right ways, but with more of a rock edge.

It's worth checking out Baby Darling Doll Face Honey, if you haven't yet.

La Roux

Got the chance to check out La Roux at the Commodore the other night. While La Roux is actually the duo of singer Eleanor Jackson and Ben Langmaid, it's Jackson that gets most of the attention, and rightly so.

Watching a semi-androgynous ginger shake it on stage under strobe lights is a pretty good time. If you get the opportunity, I suggest you take it. La Roux puts out some pretty awesome pop, and their live show is the perfect presentation of their 80s sound.

Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber

Notice how you never see these ladies in the same room as Justin! That's right. They're the same person. We're through the looking glass here people. www.lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber.tumblr.com

Who's the real Bieber?!?!

Archer

The best TV show ever created.

Archer is a slick adult cartoon about a suave spy who likes nothing more than to hit on women and abuse his butler. Sometimes he saves the world too.

Your Scene Sucks.

Do you or does someone you know look like any of the characters above? I thought so. Look, it might be time to have a laser doctor remove your face/neck/penis ink. Maybe you got one on your fallopian tubes because you wanted to stick it society with your individuality. Bad move.

I'll tell you this while there's still time before 2012...you know the year John Cusack is supposed to bring on the end of the world...YOUR TATTOOS ARE LAME. So are your Buddy Holly glasses sans lenses. So is your fucking nonchalant attitude and general disposition.

Seriously, do you think you're better than getting a regular JOB? FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?!?!? Tats are tacky. They look bad now and they'll look worse when you're a fifty year old dried up California Raisin.

No one will want to fuck you except for maybe some Nazi-Sandra Bullock-marriage-destroyer.

That is all.

The Hotmess Olympic Hangover

By now we have all drank the Olympic Kool Aid.

And we have realized that although you may have won a gold medal in drunk cartwheeling, the hangover rhythm is gonna get you...



Olympic sized hangovers require equally Olympic sized solutions!!!

Here are some of my tested favorites:

1. Pedialyte: This is a better option to Gatorade, yup it’s for babies with diarrhea. It has more electrolytes than Gatorade, so it hydrates quicker.

2. Lemon: Puerto Rican's swear by rubbing lemon on armpits as a way to avoid a hangover. The idea is that the lemon prevents sweating, thus helping the body to retain fluid and voila no headaches. I say put one in the double Ceasar you will need 5 minutes after this doesn't work.

3. Grease: Hit up the German or Swiss houses for some schnitzel or cheese. Grease is your friend but in my experience I'd rather go to sleep with a belly of Fritz than try to go looking for it in the morning.

4. Crappy TLC reality show: These won't help your spins but it will make you feel less embarrassed about anything you did the night before. There is no way you can top these people...and they are sober. I think?

5. Coca-Cola: I don't really like pop but this move may save lives for up to 20 minutes. Fizz for the stomach, liquid for the dehydration, and a caffeine/sugar hit to perk you up. Buuuuuut this is very short lived as the consequent crash is going to make matters even worse.


My goal is simple; for everyone to have the same Olympic spirit to persevere as this woman.

Vancouver Welcomes You

As a born and raised BC resident I am honored and so proud to say I live here. I would like to send out my best to everyone that's in our beautiful city for the games and I look forward to meeting many of you. We here at Hotmess would also like to offer our deepest sympathy towards Georgia, your team and the family, friends and colleagues of Nodor. Rest in peace, 2010 honors you.

To you all, see you on the streets and online.

Vintage !

THIS VIDEO IS UNREAL!

Olympic Festivities

Well The Vancouver 2010 Olympics are just around the corner and whether you love'em or hate'em they're happening and along with the competing athletes there are some mega shows featuring some of Canada's best artists and so much more... for further details visit the official LiveCity Vancouver website for all the exciting things going on in downtown Vancouver.

Let the Games begin.... :-)

Avatar's rock stars

If The Beatles mums had sex with one of those giant smurfs from Avatar John, Paul, George and Ringo might have looked like this. Same goes for Madonna and Bono.

iPad- questions answered

This is Fucked up...

Watch this fucked up video of Hiedi Montag interviewed on "Good Morning America" after her 10 new plastic surgeries... I'm am speechless...

Who's the big winner?! Mikey's the big winner...oh yeah, and Avatar.

So AVATAR won best drama at last nights Golden Globe Awards and James Cameron took home a best director award as well. That's just delightful but let me ask you this, when is the SNL skit below going to win an award for "funniest shit I've ever seen IN MY LIFE.......on a late night sketch comedy show based in New York that used to star Eddie Murphy?" Seriously?!

The Day Auto-Tune Should've Died.

I know...it probably should've taken a nap in a coffin a long time ago... but someone really should've stepped in on this one!

They should've staged an intervention and then high- fived 2010 for not ruining the year with this soon to be grade 8 dance feel up each other classic.




However, a special shout out goes to the genius who pieced together that slow walks through a dusty driveway with a boom box and fuzzy close ups of Flavor Flav would ensure he kept his street cred as a romantic rapper ;)

The worst singer in the WORLD!!!

I saw this video a couple of weeks ago and I'm still haunted by it... so I thought I would share it with you all! I can't believe "Ellen" allowed this shit to air on her show and most importantly if this woman can be a singer I sure as hell can!
You may recognize her from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and her name is Kim Zolciak. I especially love how a woman over 40 who has kids is singing "Don't be Tardy for the Party"... WHAT THE F&*K!!!

See for yourself... OH, and pleasant dreams....

Hotmess Resolution # 1 for 2010

To have as much fun as this!



In the world of what the fuck, this ranks pretty high.

It also ranks pretty high on the list of resolutions I have a shot at achieving!

And instead of swaying to"Auld Lang Syne" during the big New Year's moment,
I suggest you give this a listen while your roboting your way into 2010's warm embrace.

Europe- The Final Countdown

Trust me...2009 would have wanted it that way.

Merry Christmas from Hotmess...

...and Chippendale's rejects everywhere.

John Frusciante quits RHCP!

If you're a fan you already know. If not, check it!

John Frusciante has left the Red Hot Chili Peppers...again. The first time it happened was after Blood Sugar Sex Magik, in the early 90s, when he decided to do enough heroin to piss poppy seeds. Now he's gone again but this time it's not about a chemical romance! Here's why in his own words!


Frusciante’s full letter to fans:

“When I quit the band, over a year ago, we were on an indefinite hiatus. There was no drama or anger involved, and the other guys were very understanding. They are supportive of my doing whatever makes me happy and that goes both ways.

To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction. Upon rejoining, and throughout my time in the band, I was very excited about exploring the musical possibilities inherent in a rock band, and doing so with those people in particular. A couple of years ago, I began to feel that same excitement again, but this time it was about making a different kind of music, alone, and being my own engineer.

I really love the band and what we did. I understand and value that my work with them means a lot to many people, but I have to follow my interests. For me, art has never been something done out of a sense of duty. It is something I do because it is really fun, exciting, and interesting. Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did with the band would be to go against my own nature. There was no choice involved in this decision. I simply have to be what I am, and have to do what I must do.

Sending love and gratitude to you all.”

And here's some of his best work!!

There Is Still Time!

Christmas time is fast approaching but I plead DO NOT forget to make your way to your local mall and jump on Santa’s lap.

I am not going to lie – it will be hell- children screaming, people pushing their costumed dogs to the heads of the line and the potent aroma of Santa’s holiday cheer choking you.

But I promise it will be worth it.

If you are not convinced, here is an assortment of inspiration from "sketchy santa" compliments of the random link fairy Dayna!
