New Popcast coming Monday! It'll blow yer socks off. But in the meantime, try to keep your socks on while you watch my new favorite thing this week: The Clientele covering M.I.A.'s Paper Planes. Makes me wanna stick it to the man… while sipping on Pimm's Cup, wearing a ruffled shirt and velvet pants, of course. Pip pip, ol' bean.

Check out the Onion's AV Club for more fun covers in their Undercover project.

SWEDISH POP VIDEO ALERT!

This just in, all the way from sunny Sweden:

You got it Rasmus! And thanks for sharing a lil' bit of P&C on your band's website too! Its true what I said about the clogs and alcohol; your song is dangerous! And don't be shy about sending us your cool music and vids; here at P&C we have a particular affection for Swedish pop (and Ikea meatballs…). Yay!

Fug yeah.

Revel in the majesty of Slade’s ORIGINAL version of Cum on Feel the Noize in full Glam awesomeness. You may or may not know that this original preceded Quiet Riot’s hit version by 10 years. AND Slade’s linuep includes a nun bejeweled with mirrors. Obviously, there’s nothing more to say. Marnie out.

Jesus is my friend and he can really skank

This crazy jesus-ska group has quite a name: "Sonseed". (why does that sound so evil..?) The thing is, this song is totally cute and catchy and I could totally see myself boppin’ around to this if the lyrics were about lollipops, milkshakes and dancehalls. But… its.. not. Its about, Jesus. Snap.

Wow. It DOES get better.

Liddle Brudder, you truly rock for showing me the light. Particularly this light which is cast off a thousand chandelier crystals, pulsing neon dancefloor squares and glittering gold lamé pants. Does it get any better? Wait – it might. Remember this disco fabuloso clip from last April? Guess what: ITS THE SAME GUY. Cha-ching! Also, how hard do you think it would be to recreate this set, say, in a moderately sized apartment living room? Theoretically speaking of course…

and now for something completely different

I’m granting myself 3 peep breaks and this is one of them. Gives me a chance to post some eye candy: The Banana Splits and the 2 cutest little singing peanuts I’ve ever seen. Enjoy!

This could be the greatest premise for a music video ever.

TV shows that robots watch

Robot-week continues on P&C! with a dramatically futuristic music vid from The Flight of the Conchords. Thanks to Monsignor for recommending this gem.

Things I love right now: Julio Iglesias

Dr. Marnie — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:35:45 +0000

Here’s something that totally kicked my ass the other day. Julio Iglesias? WTF? I know. I always thought he was some kind of smarmy 80s gigolo for middle-aged divorcées, but boy was I wrong. He’s one awesome guy and even was goalie for Real Madrid in his younger days before he was seriously injured in a car crash which incidentally, is what sparked his singing career. Now he’s one of my faves and this video and song are super awesome. So lets celebrate re-discoveries today; taking another look at the things we discount so quickly without even knowing much about them in the first place. That goes for foods (anchovies are delicious), music (you know you want to love Justin Timberlake, so just do it) and fashion (man-clogs are so on the verge of being the next big thing. I just called it.).

It boggles the mind…

Update 5/17/09: Embedding has been disabled for this vid so take the time to click on the link to watch it.. Its totally worth it.

This is a real winner here. France Gall; love her. Her 60’s French pop songs are magnifiqué. But I found this video that showcases France’s disco years which I didn’t even know she had. And I like it; the song is pretty catchy. I can totally see myself roller skating down the pier to this (cuz thats what I do these days; roller skate down the pier.) But what I didn’t anticipate were the things that appear at around 1:37 of the video. Just let it play and you will be happily rewarded. (caution: this video may not be appropriate for persons with a fear of mimes, overalls and tubesocks.)
