September 29, 2008

This to be the most cryptic headline to date: Something happens in a video today, that happened in a video a while back, that sort of happens in another video and song, that makes me want to make fun of Canadians (and Americans too).

Watch me!

Watch me!
Watch me!
Watch me!
Oh wow!  You guys just got so Krueg’d (and apparently over 15 million YouTube viewers have been Krueg’d by this video too!)
I guess it makes sense that the worst Canadian band’s music video should feature a cameo by the most recognizable Canadian hockey player.  WTF are you [...]

Indie labels pissed about exclusion from MySpace Music launch; The Big 4 on board with equity; indie to be included later; profits from indie sales to go directly into the pockets of The Big 4; WTF!?

Well well well.  There seems to be a few different sides to this, let’s take a quick look.
MySpace became incredibly popular a few years back, largely due to the fact that people used the service to discover independent music, and socialize with an alt crowd.  MySpace now has 120 million users (can a 120 million [...]

Depression Management: by LaMescla

So today LaMescla was driven by boredom and bad lighting to go all the way to Sun Peaks Canada to try and get some nature shots.  Unfortunately all of the porcupines, cougars, and grizzly bears were out of season and I was forced to take the Crimson Wave (LaMescla’s utilifighter jeep) adventuring.
First I let the [...]

La ¡Cinta! discover technology upgrade fantastic! Listen to the music we talk about while reading about the music we talk about! Still too scared of the RIAA to give you the MP3s for free (unless we have permission, barf) and remember kids, supporting musicians, labels, and publicists by buying their music makes Johny a good boy (unless you’re buying from Wal-Mart & The Big Four, in which case it makes Johny stress about his new found inner moral debate).

But paying hard earned $$$ to see live music is so much more rewarding.
Drum roll please! La ¡Cinta! can now stream music!!! (Oh me! Oh my!)
And, in celebration of our new found technology, listen to one of our favorite split 7″s this year:
The 4th 7″ in Jay Reatard’s Single Series for Matador Records:
Jay Reatard Fluorescent [...]

La ¡Cinta! next levels Google; outdoes “Project 10 to the 100th” with “Project Listen To Icy Demons Until Their Brisk Rock Beats Reverse Global Warming and Saves the Sunburned Monkeys in Japan.” (Also, snow bunnies thrive in Icy new climate – indie rock boys to have more cold hearted girls to steal their souls; but on the plus side, summer not too hot for skinny jeans.)

Haha!  And Google thinks they’ve got something with “Project 10 to the 100th.” This little video here is Google’s humatarian campaign:

Amateurs! Animation does not = feeling guilty until taking action;  but cute little sunburned monkeys begging for your help does!

OMG MIA officially un-retired; launching comeback soon; La ¡Cinta! smashes pinatas at MIA BRB fiesta; MIA dance beats fly through the air; totally thought she was for seriously retiring.

Hurray!  Last time we tried to see an MIA show she was not allowed into the country and the show was canceled (I’m sure there’s a news article about this somewhere but I’m too lazy to hunt it down); but it’s OK MIA everyone messes up on their paperwork. We won’t blame you for making [...]

Clay Aiken out of the closet… Nicole Kidman attributes pregnancy to fertile Australian waters… La ¡Cinta! would get sick all over the keyboard – but A.C. Newman saves the day!

A.C. Newman Get Guilty set for release on January 20th, 2009.
Listening to Now: A.C. Newman The Slow Wonder (2004).

This might be a leak, but it’s on YouTube so we’re good to go. Let’s just call it Crocodile Socks. I’ve noticed some other versions of it have been removed across the Interwebs this morning, so this might not last long.

Oh yes, Kanye, and a young hussy, and her baby in da club.  Gangsta muppets indeed.  It’s sad to say that people are going to eat this up when it hits television (or torrent trackers).  The Muppets were way to PG indeed.
Preview from Kanye’s forthcoming puppet TV show Crocodile Socks (actually [...]

LaMescla make a discovery fantastic! Europe is Russia’s cock and Morocco is ejaculate on Africa’s tits.

Fucked up.  This big swinging dick has been in our faces all our lives, how gay is that!?
