Not much time for posting today, because I’ve been too busy napping all day (true story!) But I just came across this Calvin Klein campaign from the nineties. Obviously the advertisers were going for lewd and creepy, with the basement paneling and the disguised-sounding voice behind the camera and everything, but I wonder whether these ads had as much of an impact when viewed one at a time.
Anyway, maybe you’ve seen them before. There’s over a million youtube views and 2200 comments, most of which could be summed up as “Ewwwww.” Although, since it’s Youtube comments I’m talking about, they tend more towards “Ewwwwww yure fucking stupid I hate you your a dumb fag.” But you get the idea.

Because I am a sheep, and because I am for some reason not sleeping right now, I’ve linked all my posts to a twitter account. So if you want to know when I post something new, or just want me to feel like a popular person, be sure to befriend @mixtapesforhos. I really doubt I’ll be adding anything exclusive there, since I’ve already got two Twitter accounts in addition to all the blogs and crap, but if you check your Twitter a lot and don’t use an RSS reader it might be convenient for you to follow me. I’ll even follow you back, if I don’t forget the password by the morning.
Summer jam artiste Mpho’s debut album Pop Art won’t be out for months yet, but that doesn’t mean she’s not keeping busy. To sate our thirst after listening to Box N Locks approximately three kajillion times in the past two months, the British/South African singer’s taken to the Youtube to present us with a moderately acoustic cover of Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill. With the aid of just a keyboard, a drummer, and a drummer’s backpack, Mpho transforms Kate’s original* from a dated-sounding dance tune for gay wiccans into something a little more soulful and less otherworldly, despite making only very minimal changes to the vocal delivery. Sorry Placebo, but this is now the only cover of this song that I want to hear (besides Kiki and Herb’s, of course.)
Since Kate Bush revivalism is the #2 trend of the year (after disco revivalism), it’s not actually that very surprising that the woman touted as the newer, more ethnic Santogold would choose to cover this song. But I don’t care how shrewd a commercial move it is, I’m still wicked excited right now.
