XXXXXXXXXXO

"hottest record in the world right now!" Well if AnnieMac says so it must be true. M.I.A's first official single from the third album will be the fucking utterly delicious XXXO. I know some people are gonna say our Maya has gone mainstream and too pop, but I really don't see why that is a bad thing. Sister has a baby to support, she needs to make her paper! Anyways make of it what you will, I think the track is amazing.

Oh and this is how Maya's name looks in Tamil! Isn't it cool? மாதங்கி 'மாயா' அருள்பிரகாச

ELECTRO Music

This gives a whole new meaning to electro music! It is totally insane and at the same time, totally amazing! Only at SXSW would you see this. I want to go to there.

You've been a very bad girl Gaga!

I told ya she didn't have a dick.

Ya I know I'm bias but there is no other artist out there that is even comes close to constantly producing such great music videos, and great songs and even better stage productions for that matter! She has here vision and she follows it through until the very end, and that's why I love Lady Gaga.

And not like it has to be said but Beyonce is her usual fierce self in the video.

I think my favourite part about the film was the "To Be Continued" frames at the end. I can wait to see what Gaga and Honey B get up to next...

Starry, Starry Night

I am in awe of French artist Michel de Broin and his Nuit Blanche mirror ball instillation. Made up of over 1000 mirrors and hoisted 50 metres abouve the Parisian skyline, for one night only the he recreated what a true starry night looks like.

HERO

have you ever read an entire book in one day? before reading Perry Moore's Hero, the only book i had ever read in one day was Paris Hilton's confessions of an heiress, which wasn't hard considering it was nothing but pictures of her! (side note: I was 16 at the time, give me a break)

So anyways i've been doing a good bit of reading this summer, Chuck Palahniuk's Choke, which was fucking awesome, I re-read Brett Easton Ellis' Rules of Attraction cause I would give anything to go to Camden, and Margaret Cho's book. I picked that up after so random old gay gentleman said it was good and i didnt want to be rude so i bought it. Anyways what was I sayin? Oh yeah so I was doin heaps of reading and I had read online about how Stan Lee, creator of SpiderMan, The X-Men, DareDevil and shitloads more, had optioned a book about a gay teenager with superpower. So as you can imagine after hearing the words gay and superpowers I thought to myself okay im in!

So the book is pretty much flawless, its funny, imaginative, heartbreaking, touching, and thats just the first chapter. The characters are descibed so vividly in the book, each one so well developed throughout the book its hard not to care about each of them.

And then theres our HERO, Thom Creed, a gay teenager who has a weakness for cowboys and chest hair! after I read that part i was like omg were soulmates! plus he wouldnt be a regular gay teen without father issues.

I dont want to share anymore of the book, cause ill just get carrier away and end up typing the whole thing out, all I can say is whether your gay, straight or taken you'll ready enjoy this book!

you can buy the book on Amazon or im sure Easons has it...

The author, Perry Moore, is a big time movie producer too, he produced The Lion, The Which and The Wardrobe, which means hes probably friends with Tilda Swinton! Which makes me love him even more! His website has a really interesting interview with him too thats worth a read.
