IAMASUCKER4GUYSWHODNTEATNWEARMAKEUP


There are times when we need to be sold on a band...other times those of us with say, David Bowie fetishes and an extensive collection of Anais Nin books are simply won over without question by any artist who manages to combine good looks with a lack of nutrition, sexual ambiguity, a British accent and a few synths. And today's winner is IAMX AKA Chris Corner, formerly of the Sneaker Pimps.

Is his music great? Yes. Is that the main point. Nope. The point is Corner is the kind of guy/thing/creature who makes us want to do bad things to electrical objects. Well, not really, because then we'd electrocute ourselves - but what we mean is...it doesn't matter...he's just hot. And if we were younger and not concerned about things like "ethics" or "the clap", we would certainly make an effort to star fluff him.

In the meantime, we'll just stare at Corner and imagine what it feels like to be the razor that shaves his chest. Here are some photos from the L.A. show on 3/26 at Safari Sam's. Fans were crazy, we were drunk, it was fab. Ps. you can see Bill Gates ghost in the blue picture. Yeah, he's that good.

America's Favorite Aging Alternative Icon Returns.














The new season of the Henry Rollins Show on IFC kicks off on 4/13.

Guest interviews will include Marilyn Manson, Iggy Pop, John Waters, and Ben Stiller in addition to musical performances by Iggy & The Stooges, Mars Volta, Ryan Adams, Placebo, and Peaches.

Rollins fanboys should also set their DVR's for the 4/13 airing of Henry Rollins: Uncut From Israel on IFC, which will document two nights of spoken word in Tel Aviv.

Hank will also be involved in a "cultural commentary performance" with actress/comedian Janeane Garofalo entitled It's Not A Play And There's No Music. I think they might talk about George Bush.

The show will run for six nights at New York's Gramercy Theatre (April 10-15) and at Los Angeles' Silent Movie Theatre (April 24-29).


You like how I just gave up on trying to marginally reword the NME article at the end there?

"The Point Here Timmy...


...is that Jesus created evolution
and then the dinosaurs ate everyone.

And also, contrary to popular belief,
people who drive Fords apparently
do have a sense of humor."

Man, are we good at educating, or what?!
Check out that sweet, succinct critical pedagogy...

Prada Tastefully Tells iPhone To Suck It



Realizing that there are some phone shoppers that may need something-a-little-less-Scarfacey, Prada announced that they will be gracing the mobile market with a new, completely unrelated to the iPhone, sleek device.

Retailing for between $400 and $500, the phone will hit the US market later this year. At least this phone will make for a nicer-looking snack after a few drinks.
