Watching this video by Say Anything for the song “Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too,” i find myself feeling a little bit dirty and confused… I try to listen to this song as a gay man, but it ends up touching the little naughty school girl in me! I should be put off by the lyrics, but watching the way Max Bemis uses his tongue, and the way he shakes that ass, and the way he smiles slyly into the camera… oh baby! He just has this very sexy thing about him that makes me giddy, and the incredible beat of the drums and the dancing Indian women turn me on, too! (Hee-hee!)
Umm, is that Henry Winkler in this video? Say Anything – “Wow, i can get sexual too”
Ok, i feel kinda silly because the new Incubus album Light Grenades apparently came out in November 2006, but i just recently discovered it, so it’s new to me. I found out about it by running across the video for “Dig,” a very cool video for a beautiful song. Their last album, A Crow Left Of The Murder, was pretty un-memorable for me, (I only listened to it once,) but Light Grenades definitely brings back that loving feeling!
The video for “Dig” is actually the product of a music video contest, so you will find many different videos on YouTube for this song, including an all-animation version of this video.
During the writing of this post, i had to take a short break to listen to my all time favorite Incubus song, “Aqueous Transmission” from Morning View.
I’m also including a “video” for the bonus track “Punch Drunk” which is not on the version of the album i got. Awesome song!
P.S. I’ve heard that Brandon Boyd is gay. Is that true? Anyone know?
I have seen Marc Broussard live twice in San Francisco and he blows me away! He takes Louisiana blues-rock inspiration and takes it to a whole new level, and his voice has to be heard to be believed! One of my favorite songs ever is “Rocksteady,” from his Carencro album. However, one of the greatest moments in the history of music by far is his song “Home.” I dare any person to watch this video and not feel an emotional response in your chest and throat at the part where he sings “You don’t know nothin’ about this!” It literally makes me lose my breath. The first time we saw him perform this live, he actually threw his guitar down and grabbed the mic to sing that part, and i almost peed my pants! We were there with our friend’s 13 year old daughter who i think had her first orgasm at that very moment!
And now, he has a new album coming out on June 26th and i cannot wait!!! Also, there are tons of live videos of him on YouTube for hours of breathless excitement, and don’t forget to check out his MySpace page!
So, here’s a cool video of an awesomely beautiful song by a sexy guy that was in a movie with Zach Braff. The song is “Ride”, the artist is Cary Brothers, (who is a man, not a band of brothers,) and the movie is The Last Kiss.
Funny story; when i was watching this video, which features clips from the movie, in one clip i saw a guy who i was SURE was Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters. Turns out it was Casey Affleck. How did i make that mistake? Does anyone else think they kind of look alike? Apparently i was just high! One thing’s for sure, though. Casey Affleck is looking hottt these days!
I have a new hero. Someone i was only mildly aware of until now. His name is Perry Farrell, and his current band Satellite Party has released an incredible album called Ultra Payloaded.
The former front man of Jane’s Addiction and Porno For Pyros, (remember the incredible song “Pets”?,) and the “inventor” of Lollapalooza as a farewell tour for Jane’s Addiction, this incredibly stylish, talented, genious, and bold man is my new hero.
When i got the new Satellite Party album and listened to it, (twice in 3 hours,) i also decided to find out a little bit more about Jane’s Addiction, and discovered a fantastic gem, “Just Because,” from the album Strays, which i had never heard. Ultra Payloaded, the new album, is even more fantastic and modern, and features incredible vocal performances by Perry Farrell as well as performances by many iconic guests, including bassists Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Peter Hook (New Order and Joy Division,) guitarists John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Peter DiStefano (Porno For Pyros,) vocalist Fergie (Black Eyed Peas and solo fame,) drummer Jack Irons (Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam,) as well as 2 other guest groups, Hybrid and Thievery Corporation. All together they have created an album which is currently my favorite album! Get it. It rocks! Perry, I LOVE YOU!!!

Fans of Shiny Toy Guns have probably seen the old video for “You Are The One,” but this is the NEW VIDEO for the same song, and it is fucking hottt! First of all, who knew the drummer was so hot!? Second, the raging storm is very exhilarating. Third, the part where the music takes a break, and he throws the guitar in the air in slow motion, and he falls, and as he lands flat on his back in the water, the chorus starts again at that moment….. Fucking awesome! You Are the One
I have a couple of new favorite videos, but my most favorite comes from dance diva Ultra Nate, Karl Giant who directed the video for “Automatic”, and from the Pointer Sisters (and Stevie Wonder?), who originally did this song. This video is so hottt, i had to watch it about 30 times in a row!!! I haven’t watched a video this obsessively since No Doubt’s “It’s My Life.” (Another incredible remake, coincidentally.) This video is heart-pounding, blood-pumping, and breath-takingly sexy!!! And without further ado… Ultra Nate / Automatic / Director Karl Giant
Are you watching Planet Earth? I have seen the first 3 parts, and it is the most breathtakingly beautiful nature program EVER! Just beautiful, gorgeous, phenomenal, moving, stirring!!! I love it! I grew up watching nature programs, and spent hours and days and weeks pouring through National Geographic magazines, but in my adult life, i have gotten out of that. Remember Wild Kingdom? Oh man, that was my favorite! This program reminds me, well, of who i used to be. A curious explorer.
And for those who were curious about the song that was featured in the Discovery Channel commercial in the second episode, it is “Wonders Never Cease” by Morcheeba. (Paul’s phone to the rescue again!)
That is their name. They have toured with Moby. They are Torbjörn Brundtland and Svein Berge. I don’t know where their names come from, but they are based in the UK.
This is another one i discovered by watching Law & Order, though i don’t actually remember which show i was watching when i heard the song “What Else Is There?” featuring Karen Dreijer on vocals, (who is from Sweden and apparently sings in 2 bands, The Knife and Honey Is Cool.)
Paul’s phone has this awesome feature that identifies songs. Any time you hear a song that you don’t know, his phone can listen to it and then tell you the name of the song! It has come in handy in many situations!!! It doesn’t work 100% of the time because sometimes the song is too obscure to be in the database, but it worked this time.
This song immediately caught my attention not only because of its stunning sound, but also because for a brief moment i actually thought it was Bjork singing! Once i discovered what it was, i went to their MySpace page and got lost there for hours, mostly watching the video of this song over and over again! I don’t know who the woman is who’s singing, but she’s not one of the 2 band members. Everyone should see this video and hear this song! It should be required in school, in fact! I love it! I don’t really know just how to put it in words. Maybe everyone won’t like it, though i can’t imagine why. Watch this video and then tell me what you think, whether or not you like it. I’m very curious to know how other people perceive it. Thanks!

In case anyone read my post about the Adam Crossley song “Prisoner,” i had the lyrics all wrong, so i went ahead and corrected them. You can look back at the original post to see the correct lyrics now.
