What's a Word's Worth?

I think I'm in love! A "Wordy Rappinghood" cover by Chicks on Speed? Yes, please.

I've been on a pretty tight writing deadline over the past few days and during my dancearoundmyroom breaks I've been listening to the Tom Tom Club version of this song on a loop.

My favourite line: "Words are like a certain person--don't say what they mean, don't mean what they say."

Seriously, I want to have an art orgy with all the members of chicks on speed and Tina Weymouth from Tom Tom Club where we're all clad in asymmetrical paper dresses and yell out catchy lyrics about semiotics as we're cumming. David Byrne can join in too.

Added bonus: "Glamour Girl" by Chicks on Speed.



Can these women do no wrong? I love the trashy, European dance video from the 90s feel almost as much as I like making fun of myself while I sing this song.

Girl, Get Nastyyyyy

All I wanna do is ziga zig-ahh!

That Girl Thinks She's the Queen of the Neighbourhood

I've got news for you--she is!

Check out this rebel yell of an interview with Kathleen Hanna, one of the original instigators of riot grrrl. Hanna recently donated her archived zines to NYU and she talks about her views on zines and blogs about halfway through the clip.



I think I wanna be her best friend, yeah!

Wa Wa Wee Wa

I've heard Christina Hendricks is getting a little tired of talking about her rockin' bod. As such, this post is all about keeping my lips sealed and my eyes wide open. Rowr.

Weekly(ish) Video - Sugalumps

Love, love, luuuuuuve Jermaine and Brett! Also, I'm pretty sure this should be my lover's theme song considering his penchant for flaunting the sugalumps around our house like nobody's business. Dude, it's okay to wear underwear sometimes. I won't forget about them later, I promise.

Full disclosure: I haven't actually watched the second season of Flight of the Concords yet, but apparently this clip is from the episode where Jermaine becomes a street hustler. This could indeed be problematic, however, I don't really see anything problematic about enjoying the serious dance breakdown in this vid. Jermaine has such a pro head roll going on I should be taking notes for my burlesque performances.

Monday Ballad Courtesy of Cyndi Lauper

Cyndi Lauper is so hottttt. A style icon for several generations of hep kids and a woman who can sing a song about masturbation with all the subtlety Madonna lacks, she also has a softer side.

Well, not too soft. Whether she's grooving in the middle of the highway sans heels or passionately serenading the mic in a killer polkadot dress, it's totally alright with me.

Daft Bodies!

If only we'd known about these awesome peeps before so we could have had them perform at the LS Beyond Human issue launch.



This is definitely going to be my pick for the next highly fuckables list.

Gratuitous Julie Doiron Post

Last night, Julie Doiron played a packed show at Il Motore to promote her new album, I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day.

Man, I just love her.

It's happened more than once that I'll be getting out of the pool at the YMCA and I see this really beautiful woman in her red sport swim suit and I'm admiring the curve of her bum and then I suddenly realize it's Julie Doiron. Then, I usually smile at her and feel like a creepy stalker. But, you know what? It doesn't really matter because Julie Doiron is beautiful and talented and awkward and that just makes her all the more endearing, especially when you see her live.

Check out this video for her song "Me and My Friend" directed by her Ex-husband (and muse?) John Claytor. Also, watch for an irresistable Julie D. smile at about the 2:09 mark.



Ah, heartbreaking. And, yes, I am a little bit of a perv when I go to the pool, but that's just between you and me, ok?

Highly Fuckable?

These two young foxes were so pumped about getting nominated for the Highly Fuckables List that they collaged some photos to entice people to vote for them. It worked! Do you know anyone you wanna nominate? Yourself maybe? It's okay. Do it. We won't tell anyone.

So, once again, let's make a big list of names of those you desire/respect/admire so that they can be included in the next issue of Lickety Split smut zine (coming out Nov. 21st - save the date!)

So, these get PUBLISHED. So you gotta really want it, you know? Like you really gotta mean this naming of names, this big-upping of loves/friends/lovers. Once again, it's totally secret. So. Let's start! Send suggestions to "k AT licketysplitzine DOT com".

Lickety Split #7: Video Progress Report
