Crude. And I love it.

This band/song/music label is my new favorite. It had me at the line "She sucks Barry Gibb dick. But she's still my girl." Check out Number One Girl by Le Le -- in all of its various carnations.

I also suggest streaming all of Le Le's tunes on their MySpace page for some groovy background noise.

Newzbop 2: "Sports"

Are you a US "Futbol" team fan?

Sorry about your World Cup dreams. I'm sure you've been dreaming of a US win for years or decades. Or weeks.

Here's a drinking song/attitude for you.

Captin Kirk is climbing a mountain. Why is he climbling the mountian?

.
It's Sunday. And I'm not hungover! WIN. In order to support those people who - due to actually going out on Saturday night instead of passing out at midnight - are battling the deadly effects of alcohol induced dehydration, I am posting a truly inspirational video. Keep on climbing that mountain folks.

There are other Fevers besides the Ray

Meet Yellow Fever.

I first became acquainted with them as the openers to a Voxtrot show. They had a great mellow electropop vibe.

They have a song called Cats and Rats and I swear it will be stuck in your head for days. Cats and rats and cats and rats and cats and rats. You can put any other two words in there and it works just as well – ice and cream and ice and cream and ice and cream (I’m not sure why that’s an example, but I think I want dessert).

Anyway, the intrepid Daniel J. Hopkins approached Yellow Fever drummer, Adam Jones, with our new feature: EBOQI, or Electrobitches One Question Interview [name subject to change]

DJH: Do you like to eat meatloaf on Mondays?
AJ: No.

Thank you, Dan, for starting us off in a painfully awkward way. I love it. [A side note: I wanted to ask them if they really had yellow fever (since I’m Asian and creepy I thought it appropriate), but Dan’s question won the day by default because he spied a Yellow Fever band member first.]

Here's to next time!

You're the only thing that matters, Jan Terri.

.

For today's Retro Wednesday Post, electrobitches is going on a strange and mysterious journey to a time known as the early 90s. The vessel? Jan Terri.

Jan Terri! Jan Terri? Jan Terri. How do you even start to speak of this fabulous whoa-man? Well, that is actually a stupid question. To start talking about Jan Terri, we will inevitably employee our generation's primary style: snarkily claiming our ironic love for some part of the cultural fringe. So lets start there!

We lurv J. Ter-bo. She should quit her day jerb and make nauseating videos 4life! This what Tim and Eric do, and they are fucking awesome. Oh dear, we forgot lame-faces exist, and you all don't know who J. Ter-bo is or why we lurv her. This should clear things up.

We know what you are thinking: holy shit this lady is amazing/awful, har har har! Normally, this is where the conversation with Jan Terri ends. Post the video on a few people's wall, break it out at parties (oh man, our parents must think we are kind of laming for doing this. But hey, it is the 21st century so, har har, go fuck yourself!) , and be done with Janni Terri-Mo-berri.

This lady is too important simply let her fade into the internet mist. She represents something that we've kind of forgot. Sincerity. No multiple-layers of references, ironic detachment, and a healthy dose of nihilism between Jan Terri and the rest of the world. She is want she is, loves who she loves, and doesn't care who knows it. How bad ass is that?

Not to say you shouldn't get a chuckle out of her videos. We are not posting for her musical virtuoso. But instead of leaving comments like "If you stick your fingers up your ass for ten seconds, then sniff them, it is as if you are actually in the muzic video!" we ask that you take a step back and try and understand her awesomeness, on like, a whole other level. Man. The electrobitches committee on internet mystery women is embarking on a long term (eh, maybe three posts. Most likely two) investigation on Jan Terri. Come back soon to learn more, maybe!

I just like animals that can play the violin

This is not new, this isn't really that cool, but fuck, I like it. And our mission is to post something everyday, and we have 19 minutes left. So just watch the video and somewhat enjoy.
