Fashion Board 6-9-04 to 7-13-04

[str8outavannuys]

This was the lineup at yesterday's KROQ Weenie Roast

5:00 The Killers
5:30 The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
6:05 Modest Mouse
6:40 Cypress Hill
7:20 The Hives
8:00 Velvet Revolver (GNR with Scott Weiland fronting)
8:45 Bad Religion
9:30 Beastie Boys
10:15 The Strokes

I missed the Killers and the first couple of YYY songs. Show was done in the "rotate the stage after the set so there's no downtime between acts" format, which is a must for a multi-band show. Anyways, here are some awards:

Band most dedicated to their cause: (tie) Cypress Hill (all things weed) and The Hives (letting the world know that the Hives are the greatest hotest coolest band ever).

Most fun to go out on the town with: The Yeah Yeah Yeah's Karen O. Close runner up for Cypress Hill. Bad Religion would be interesting too.

Probably the least fun to go out on the town with: The Beastie Boys. They'd spend the whole time talking about their kids.

Loudest band I've ever heard: Bad Religion.

Toughest Dilemma: Bobo of Cypress Hill had just lit up a big joint on stage, when Sen Dog brought out a huge bong. What to do? Take a hit from the bong, naturally.

Ummm, he's sober?: Scott Weiland came out in a leather-daddy outfit (including cop-style hat), and spun spun spun like a spinning hippie chick. Great voice, but weak material. Did not make me want to rush out and buy the VR album.

Toughest spot/Dumbest comment: After the Beastie Boys and a long day of music, people were filing out throughout the Strokes' set. Still, they started strong. But a few numbers in, Julian busts out with "You know, a lot of bands hate playing these radio station shows. We used to, but now we don't mind them so much."

Best banter: Howlin Pelle from the Hives. Brilliant shtick between every song. Best was probably: "Wow, isn't that impressive? That's pretty impressive, isn't it! We've only played four songs and already you're clapping and dancing for the Hives!" (despite the fact that the crowd was mostly sitting down and stunned, not sure what to make of these five guys rocking impossibly hard in their spotless white suits) or else maybe "Can I get a show of hands, how many of you think this is a pretty good show? That's pretty guut. I only have 22% of you left to impress. That means I can take a water break."

Inevitable: Ad Rock was left alone on stage to urge people to vote against GWB. He kept it short. Most of the crowd was on his side, but there was smattered booing.

Best singer: Greg Graffin, Bad Religion.

Best performances of the night: The Hives and Cypress Hill.

Worst performances of the night: Modest Mouse (I like their stuff, but they showed no energy on stage -- maybe it was too hot that early in the evening) and Velvet Revolver.

Best song of the night: Los Angeles is Burning, Bad Religion.

(Gillette's new vibrating razor)

It sounds good, but I'm still kinda pissed at Gillette for the Mach 3. Great concept, but the blades get duller faster than Ty on Politics, and the replacements are expensive. I suspect that will still be the case here.

Thanks to all who responded. I bought the M3Power, Gillette's new vibrating razor Friday night (life in the fast lane). The blade is basically the same as the Sensor Excel. I don't know that the vibrating really adds anything to the functionality, but it made the shaving experience enjoyable and vaguely erotic, sort of like masturbating a nonerogenous body part.

In order to conduct a more complete product review, I was able to find a female volunteer willing to test the M3Power on a more sensitive area. I was quickly informed that my assistance wasn't needed (I tickled, apparently), so I left her alone in the bathroom with the M3Power. She finally emerged a couple of hours ago. It was a win-win situation, I guess. She got the M3Power and I got to watch the replay of Hopkins/Allen and De La Hoya/Sturm in peace.

I was initially put off by the $13 price tag*, but it's a small price to pay for the additional free time. The tv ads do not address the elephant in the bedroom, namely that the M3Power is a product for women not for men. But then again if there's an elephant in the bedroom, perhaps she doesn't need the M3Power.

Hi, I'm Jack Manfred.

You may remember me as the man who invented the term "blowjob camel."

You may also remember me as the man who brought the term "sell-by date" to the board, but Paigow uses that term incessantly, so we'll leave that one alone for now.

I post to bring you a new term for use on the FB and in your pathetic little daily lives...

Wait for it...

the sexual python

I know what you're thinking, "Jack Manfred, I'm intrigued by this talk of sexual pythons, but I don't know what the word means." Well, it's quite simple really. Think of it as a more expansive synonym for "blowjob camel." Just as a blowjob camel only needs a blowjob once in a great while, a sexual python needs sex only once in a great while.

Now, you're probably thinking, "Well, Jack, that's great, but please don't tell me you spent the weekend sitting at home coming up with synonyms for blowjob camel. That'd make you as nutty as Paigow." The answer is no, of course I didn't. Instead, I went to the Carolyn Mark show, where she explained the term in the funny banter introducing a song where one of her friends (who described herself as a sexual python to Carolyn) finds her quarry for the season.

You're welcome.

Oh, shapey, I'm afraid you'll have your heart broken again. I know when you ordered the new one you got the two ply skin option, but vinyl is still vinyl, and its a fucking razor blade.

Nothing for shifty to worry about, eh? Since the shape shafter is competitive with Rasputin's 11" pickled member?

Art the FB can get behind.

• My first thought was, If I'm going to have to sell it, I might as well sell it,'' the artist Andrea Fraser said last week, speaking from a downtown studio. Fraser was referring in a starkly literal sense to her work's medium: a fit 38-year-old brunette in a sexy red V-necked dress, who is in fact herself.
  
  Fraser's videotape ''Untitled'' (2003) was scheduled to go on view at the Friedrich Petzel Gallery in Chelsea on June 10. In it, the artist is seen having sex in what some have characterized coyly as ''every imaginable position,'' with an unidentified American collector who paid close to $20,000 to participate in this curious 60-minute work of art.
  
  As ''Untitled'' begins, Fraser enters a hotel room, her hair swept fetchingly to one side. The setting is standard-issue Hip Hotel: the videotape was filmed, using a single overhead camera, in a room Fraser identified as being at the Royalton Hotel in Manhattan, owned by Ian Schrager. The artist is carrying two glasses, white wine in her left hand and what looks like a highball in her right. The collector enters, and then begins a filmed seduction whose detailed contractual terms were worked out in advance by the artist's gallery. Among the requirements for participation in ''Untitled'' were that the artist's potential collaborator be heterosexual, unmarried and, of course, willing to underwrite the transaction. ''All of my work is about what we want from art, what collectors want, what artists want from collectors, what museum audiences want,'' Fraser explained. ''By that, I mean what we want not only economically, but in more personal, psychological and affective terms.''

Remember my graduation party? I was gazing a paigow across the pool, but you were the one who said I should get into plastics. Fucking hypocrite.

Aesthetically, anyway. HOw may of these things did Peter Piper pick?

Allo! Notwithstanding the sockulation [HINT: Penske Material was a fraudulent sock-hi PatentGreedy], I am back from an extended hiatus in Tuscany now, all warm and full of the love for everyone.

Does either the Paigow or the Flower still post to this board? I missed them.

I have a question.

I was thinking about who has the best swing in golf the other day and it led to more questions, like who has the best swing in baseball, for example.

Best swing in golf: Ernie Els.

Best swing in baseball: Ken Griffey Jr. (everyone will argue that Bonds' swing is the best and they may be right, but in my opinion, Griffey has the prettiest swing I've ever seen).

Best stroke in basketball: Alan Houston. There's no question that Larry Bird was the best pure shooter, in my mind. But watching Alan Houston shoot is like watching warm butter being spread. It's just too smooth. Too bad he has no heart.

Best shot in Hockey: No fucking idea.

Would love to hear your opinions.

You lost me at Ernie Els, but your post raised a question in my mind. When you say:

"everyone will argue that Bonds' swing is the best"

Is this the same "everyone" you use to bolster your political arguments? Where are getting these surveys of "everyone" from? FWIW, until yoiur post no one surveyed me on the subject so I think your sample of everyone may be flawed.

Different question, in a non-resort type of place what type of psychopath goes water skiing at 6 AM? And why?
