Gaydom + taboo = instant success

November 10, 2008 · 2 Comments

Who’s a sucker for pop? *raises hand*. Let’s all just accept that through our clouds of pretension when we’re in our rooms at home listening to the radio (wait. ray deee oh? what’s the eff is that) we move just a bit to the catchy tunes of popdom.  Remember that Aussie turned Brit we blogged about? Good ol’ Sammy Sparro has a cover by the controversial popstar Katy Perry.
Controversial is a lame term but that’s what the public has smeared her with due to the summer classic “I kissed a Girl” about a same sex encounter and a previous LP (from last year) entitled Ur So Gay. Isn’t that the way to reach the mass media though? Controversy enabled her to launch herself into pop stardom and I couldn’t be much happier =)

I’m a sucker for wispy female vocals esp from hawties

Do you think she’s a talented singer or is she trying to hard in her cover of Sammy?

Kate Perry

Is that Ocelot with her?!

Australia does downtempo sexy electro funk?

September 21, 2008 · 2 Comments

Misleading right?  Per usual I was perusing blogs and other various sites and ran across Sam Sparro. He’s from Sydney but moved back and forth between there, L.A., and London.  Imagine soothing male vocals layered over some delectable synths, add your occasional funky bass lick, and viola you’ve got Sammy.  I admit that some of the crescendos are a wee bit cheesy but hell I can’t be picky I love this guy! One of my favorite songs entitled Black and Gold is actually one of the UK singles that hit the charts.  These aren’t any BNGRS but a seductive cd to get your groove on St. Juice style. The downtempo bass just begs to be the music during those hot and steamy nights.

Enjoy!
