    Meet Riley, SNL’s Brash Young Fagling


    2010 - 01.19

    Forgive me for the departure from the regular music programming, but I had to share this hysterical skit from last weekend’s Saturday Night Live. The brilliant Fred Armisen added an outrageous new character to his repertoire in the latest episode, a sassy, gravel-voiced homo called Riley.

    The bound-to-be recurring sketch steals a bit of thunder from Kristen Wiig’s annoying Gilly — both are kids with serious quirks, but Armisen scores more laughs with his blossoming bitter queen. Maybe because every other word out of Riley’s mouth is an expletive… So check it out! You will definitely be calling everyone a BITCH for the rest of the week.

    Side note for my Nashville kids: Perhaps this is what Bianca Paige was like as an adolescent??

    Colbert Puts Yuppie Spin On Alice Keys’ ‘Empire’


    2009 - 12.17

    Alicia Keys stopped by The Colbert Report Tuesday to promote her new record with a sit down-interview. But the highlight was when she performed a new version of “Empire State of Mind (Part II)” featuring the funnyman in full-on Jay-Z mode, hoodie and all!

    Stephen Colbert emerges at about the 1:45 mark, where he raps about moving to Connecticut — “clean suburban air much better for my asthma” — and returning to the city as an upper-middle class tourist. Keys seems to genuinely get a kick out of it, and I think you will too.

    Warm Up with Weezer Snuggie + New Video!


    2009 - 11.03

    weezer snuggie

    In what may be one of the most bizarre-yet-genius music marketing moves ever, Weezer recently announced that the band’s logo is now available on the popular Snuggie, that goofy blanket-with-sleeves that caught on last year thanks to the product’s ridiculous television advertisements.

    The tongue-in-cheek branding is the latest pop culture nod for the rock band, who famously featured dozens of YouTube “celebrities” in the video for “Pork & Beans” last year. You can watch the Weezer Snuggie informercial here or check out the country fair-themed clip for new single “I Want You Too” below:

    Bargain shoppers take note — you can purchase their new album, Raditude, for $3.99 at Amazon!

    ‘The Onion’ Is Gay


    2009 - 10.06

    I’m on holiday in California at the moment, so that should explain the tumbleweeds blowing through here (though I will be posting a gallery of Kylie Minogue live pics in the next day or two…). I thought I would tide you over with this funny fake news clip from The Onion, in which they examine a fictional ad campaign which aims to stop teen smoking by associating it with homosexuality. It’s completely ridiculous, and there’s some hot stuff in there, too. Enjoy!

    On a side note, I wonder if there’s a queer with a twisted wicked talent on staff at The Onion, because they are constantly producing hysterical gay-related content. Keep it coming!

    The Onion: Tranny Loophole Could Thwart Gay Marraige Foes


    2009 - 06.02

    The fake news geniuses at The Onion have done it again with this hysterical parody of radical conservatives against gay marriage. Their worry in this scathing segment? Gay men and women could undergo “quick, simple” gender reassignment surgeries to get around the current same-sex marriage bans. I know all of the fags out there just clutched their peens in protest, but considering how clueless some of the crazies seem to be, this doesn’t seem that far-fetched. Ok, maybe it does!!

    The outrageous picket signs might be my favorite part…

    Bjork on ‘Weekend Update’


    2009 - 02.11

    File this under Fucking Hysterical. Kristen Wiig is always the bright spot on SNL, and she didn’t disappoint this past weekend when appearing on ‘Weekend Update’ as Bjork. Sure, the batshit crazy Icelandic pop star is an easy target, but it’s still fantastic to see Wiig add another public figure to her growing list of spot-on impersonations (hello Kathie Lee!).

    My favorite part is when Bjork compares the economy in Iceland to some of the country’s worst tragedies, including the Reindeer Uprising of 2012. “It’s coming,” she whispers. So random! But it totally sounds like something Bjork would say. Genius.
