1 minute into the video she looks like she went dizzy all of a sudden. Actually, she looked less like she was fainting and more like she was possessed. Her dancer tried to wake her up and she got real antsy. He’s getting fired in Sofia. She could have just felt overwhelmed that Michael continues to get more cheers even posthumously.
The paper cup that is not…

Not only is it time to go green, but we are also in a recession. This looks like a paper cup but it is actually a porcelain cup with a silicone lid. In case you miss your paper cup, you know?
Are you single?

Canadian soul,
Crosses Bridge to great acclaim.
Best album of the year.
Must-Watch: Video: “Heartbeat” by Nneka
1We have been following Nneka and this song for over a year now. We first saw the video on vacation in Austria. She was big there. But, we felt that if it translates, it’ll be too heavy of a message to sell. Apparently not, it just debuted on the UK charts and it’s getting a US release too. It’s wonderful song with a great message from the album No Longer At Ease.

Kina Grannis covers Simon & Garfunkel
Just in time for our melancholy mix Glumella, Kina Grannis cover Simon & Garfunkel’s sombre “The Sound Of Silence,” which is featured as the retro track on the compilation. Brilliant cover! And she gives us a synopsis of what’s going on in the studio.

Khalid AlQasimi, a rising designer from the UAE, has dressed not one, but two shining stars on the V Festival stage in the UK. These prominent acts include it-girl of the year and the proud creator of one of the best albums of the year (Lungs) Florence Welch – the lead singer from acclaimed band Florence + The Machine. Florence sported a flowing floral dress from Qasimi. Moreover, the star of the night Lady GaGa also got herself some of the Qasimi stardust. She wore another of his creations for the event during the performance for her debut single “Just Dance.” Click below to watch the video.
7.4 earthquake hits Indonesia, fear of tsunami
1An earthquake has hit the Indonesia islands just now. It is reported to have the magnitude of 7.4 on the scale. The quake hit the capital Jakarta. There are some fatalities reported. Many experts say this may result in a powerful tsunami. Will keep you posted. The above footage is of the tsunami that happened a couple of years ago on Thailand’s coast (of many).
Nooka celebrates Spongebob Squarepants
Aubrey O’Day thinks Hitler is a brilliant man
1She doesn’t know what the hell she is talking about. She has been going crazy ever since she left Danity Kane. Why was she even invited on there. I haven’t seen the whole show but something tells me that Fox got here to come so she can present “the liberal view,” knowing that she doesn’t know shit from crap.
Exclusive: Music For September: Glumella
11
After a series of happy-go-lucky compilations for the summer, we have collected all the sombre tracks for an autumn release. This is the result. This melancholic offering of electronic chill and dejected lowtempo ditties will sweep you away. It comes in celebration of the fact that many of the acts attributed to this sound have something coming out very soon. The compilation might not win you over at first listen, but once it does it’ll get you glued. The name comes from the feminization of the word “glum,” if there’s such a thing. Glumella might sound depressing, but it’s also soothing. We hope you enjoy it and your feedback is always appreciated.

Far is not settling well with us, but this song is good and the video equally so.

Sexy transparent toaster

It’s in development but it will hit the markets soon. It’s a completely transparent toaster for those of you who always burn the toast. It’s full-functional and utterly modern.
Must-Watch: Video: “Home” by La Toya Jackson
2La Toya Jackson is one of our favorite celebrities on earth. Why? Because she is talentless yet diva-ful. She tries and tries and tries and fails yet keeps on failing. She beats Jermaine Jackson when it comes to making money off of her brother, hence this single that was made for charity but also serves as a teaser for her album that has been shelved for ages Startin’ Over.
eBay has sold Skype

Yes, Marvel Comics now belongs to Disney. But, Skype is no longer eBay’s. it’s apparently a done deal. eBay has sold Skype, its internet telephony program, for a reported $2.75 billion. Skype is $1.25 billion cheaper than Marvel Comics. We have yet to see if this mixing and merging of corporations is good for the world or the economy. But, it’s coming soon.
Fresh: Video: “Mrs. Cold” by Kings Of Convenience
4We can’t get this song out of heads. Seriously, at this pace it’s looking like it’ll top our chart next week. It’s a lovely little summer folk tunes that makes us want to get another sunburn. They are on the right track and hopefully the rest of the album is in keeping with the island theme. Just pure loveliness.
Due: An apology to Alan Turing
5
Alan Turing is considered the father of computer science. In fact, some will go as far as claiming that he invented the modern-day computer. He revolutionized his science and propelled it to new grounds back when he was allowed. He even got Britain through a war with his genius. But, this respect was not reciprocated.
You see, Alan was gay and he was arrested for “gross indeceny” – the same law that persecuted Oscar Wilde. He was forced to choose between imprisonment or chemical castration. He chose the latter and after he was shunned and condemned. So, he committed suicide with some cyanide.
Now, the freaks and the geeks have come together to sign a petition to ask for an apology for this horrid and bigoted incident. Sign it here and let it be known that a queen is the reason why you are reading this right now. Go to his Wikipedia page to read more than my synopsis of him.
