They're hardcore 80's revivalists, their music dripping with synths and vocoderized vocals. Lead singer Dan Whitford's rhymes can be cringeworthily primitive -- "Do/You", "Mind/Time," etc. -- but his lyrics are elevated to the level of the forgivably dorky by the conviction of his delivery. He's aping mid-80s New Wave bangs-tossing affectlessness...but he MEANS it.
It's that sincerity that allows the band to get away with their rampant "New Order" allusions. Like New Order, and unlike Vice-friendly acts like Chromeo, they're actually striving for real transcendence, beauty, and release.
I feel oddly protective about them: can straight-faced, irony-deficient dance pop make it with hip listeners? In any case, I think their new album, "In Ghost Colours", has a better chance than their debut. Produced by DFA's Andy Goldsworthy, it isn't quite as relentlessly catchy as 2004's "Bright Like Neon Love," but its highs, like the Fleetwood Mac-inspired "Strangers in the Wind" and album opener "Feel the Love," might be higher.

UPDATE: For whatever reason, iTunes is only charging 7 bucks for the entire 16-track album!
This German PSA is the creepiest depiction of childhood sexual abuse since Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

...How to Administer DMT Anally!
This is almost as good as Joe Rogan's description of DMT tripping. She gets really giggly and intense starting at 6:00.
I was a bit worried that the Bearforce1 boys were a bunch of One Song Susies. But clearly they've more than overcome the sophomore slump with this hot number.
Bonus: CHRISTMAS!

Aren't feys cute when they're mad? They've even got high-pro homos pitching in...like Dan Savage and Army Maupy!
Happy Friday!
America has a new pasttime-- it's from the UK and it's even slower than baseball but way more fun and erotic! It's a new internet game called MISS BIMBO, and even though it is designed for young girls age 6-15, even a grown-ass man like me can surely enjoy it! In this great game, you are in charge of your own personal "bimbo." You can dress her (i keep mine in her undies), style her hair, have her go shopping or get a job in a bakery, play that fun game of MASTERMIND with her (to win Bimbo Dollars), or even buy her breast implants and send her to the shrink! The sky's the limit! You can even feed your new bimbo-- but don't go crazy, because, according to the game "The target weight for your bimbo is 127 lbs, and ideal height is a slinky 5 ft 6 inches." Well I have only been playing for one day and my bimbo has already ballooned to a portly 127.424 pounds. Luckily, that doesn't seem to bother my new boyfriend, an "Old actor" who gives me 50 Bimbo Dollars a day with which to do what I please. The goal of Miss Bimbo is to be "the coolest, richest and most famous bimbo in the whole world/game." Considering that this was already what I aspired to before I started playing Miss Bimbo, I'm well on my way! I just hope I can pick up some phone numbers while I'm at it. I've been looking for an eight-year-old bimbo with a bewb job.
Watching VH1's new competitive reality show I Know My Kid's a Star this weekend, I couldn't help but wish that growing up I had had a mom as cool as Rocky Sanchez.
Dated Los Angeles-style rock affect, styling, and tattoos? CHECK.
Short short schoolgirl skirt on an overaerobicized 40 year old bod? CHECK.
Tampon string hanging out of her pantyless vagine? Apparently, also CHECK.
What is sadder – the death of Judith Barsi or her trashy grave? You be the judge.You might remember little Judith from her inimitable child performances in such films as Jaws: The Revenge and All Dogs Go To Heaven not to mention television’s Punky Brewster and Cagney & Lacey. But Judith’s life and budding acting career were both cut short when her father brutally murdered this concrete angel in 1988. Jozsef Barsi shot ten-year-old Judith and her mother Maria Barsi and then doused their bodies with gasoline and set the Barsi house on fire before shooting himself in the Barsi garage.
Although Judith was a beloved actress, tragically, she was buried with her mother in an umarked grave in a Los Angeles cemetery. But almost twenty years after her murder, fans stepped in to honor Judith with a trashy grave:
In June 2004, a fund was set up to get headstones for their graves. Judith's marker was placed on August 23, 2004 while one for her mother was placed on January 28, 2005. Future donations will go toward donating Beanie Babies to hospitalized children. Judith's marker reads "Our Concrete Angel - Yep Yep Yep" in reference to a popular song and her character Ducky's catchphrase from The Land Before Time. Her mother's marker reads "The wind beneath JEB's (Judith's initials) wings - Yep Yep Yep."Rest in peace, Judith!
Thanks to YouTube user and gainer extraordinairre WilieBoy17, I now have a new, cool, and erotic catchphrase to use when I'm double-fisting gratuitous late-night pizza in front of a horrified JMZZ or Bmad. Now I will seem HOT and SEXY instead of just fat and self-indulgent.
And as my adolescent boy-bewbs start growing back, I will find an eager audience for my transformation on YouTube. WillieBoy17 already has lots of admirers, and he hasn't even cracked 200 pounds yet! You can find their wonderfully supportive comments, where his fans encourage his continued weight gain, compliment his "overhang", and tell him to "watch out for stretchies", here.
I promise to revisit WillieBoy when he celebrates his "200 party".

For the first time in history, it's gonna start raining McCain! A new worst video of the campaign. Even more embarrassing than "Hillary and the Band."
There is only one reason I am posting this ad for Visa. Can you guess what that reason is?

So I'm not quite sure when we got into the political endorsement game here at FeyFriends, but the Hillary Clinton thing was obviously decided at some PNP koffee klatsch to which i was not invited. Well unlike Bobo, I am totally an Obama supporter (although of the mildest variety!!) and today I would like to address the topic of "Barack Obama's Mean Priest."
You may or may not have heard that Barack Obama goes to one of those funny giant churches in a football stadium where a disagreeable priest occasionally says "mean" (true) things about America. Well everyone is freaking out about it and I don't understand! For one thing, shouldn't people be happy Obama is Christian? Just a month ago every old person on Earth was taking time out of his/her busy insurance-milking hobby to freak out that Obama was a sinister Muslim and maybe even a sleeper agent for Al Qaeda, Saddam Hussein (they have the same name) or Louis Farrakhan of the Million Mom March. Well now we know he is Christian and I have not heard apologies from any of the 1,000 grandmas who forwarded me e-mails about Obama's muslimnity. Instead they are now fowarding me e-mails about his PRIEST! Well, well, well! Now Obama has a priest! So which is it? Terrorist or American?
Politics is getting so confusing to me! Last time I checked it was PATRIOTIC to be a Christian. So how can a PRIEST be unpatriotic? Especially when heis the head priest of one of those big stadium churches where they have trapezes and hot dogs and clowns and AMERICAN FLAGS? I thought that was what patriots LIKED? Call me old fashioned!
Oprah's trampled fan, one "Orit Greenberg" claims she was trampled to death during a 2006 taping of the Oprah show, during which Oprah and her gay friend Nate Berkus failed to properly control their audience of insane admirers.
In her suit, Greenberg says that she, along with an "excess number of patrons," were gathered in a waiting room before the show. She claims audience members were then told to enter the studio and sit "where they wanted," causing a stampede. She says was pushed down a flight of stairs as the rabid fans "rushed the gate" while pushing and shoving one another.
This is not the first time the increasingly embattled hostess and her gay friend Nate Berkus have had to outrun the long arm of the law! In fact, you might remember that Oprah's last brush with a tort introduced her and the world to weight loss coach and "America's Pastor" Mr. Phil McGraw-- whom she met during a traumatic stay in Texas during that period when she was being sued by the world famous Bonanza Steakhouse Chain! Well let's just hope that Mr. Phil stays out of this one.
Now, as most of our loyal readers know, we here at FeyFriends have a firm, unwavering anti-tort-reform stance. After all-- what if Orit Greenberg had been carrying a cup of hot coffee during this incident?! As you can see, it's a slippery slope when hot coffee and followers of Ms. Winfrey are concerned! However, despite my strong pro-tort position, I do hope that the judge in this case (and surely Oprah's lawyers are hoping for the totally sympathetic-seeming Judge Hatchett!) will go easy on the legendary daytime queen of gab! Martha Stewart is one thing, but it just wouldn't be right to see Oprah Winfrey, talk show hostess and star of Alice Walker's THE COLOR PURPLE, behind bars!!!
The reason? This video...

British couple Beth and Brian Willis found a great way to keep the memory of their dead pets alive – by wearing their fur everyday! To honor their beloved dogs, Kara and Penny, the Willises knitted his and hers "jumpers" out of their hair.
According to Mrs. Willis, "It is not actually a hair but a wool, which is why it is so good for clothes. It would just fall off the dogs and I would run a wet hand over the carpet and pick it up. We found out from the breeders we got the pups from that it was possible to use their coat for clothes. Apparently it is quite popular with lots of the people who breed long-haired dogs.”
Thanks for the tip!
These ferocious little Beast Creatures look like the unholy spawn of Xmas Nutcrackers and Cigar Store Indians, and they will devour you one tiny bite at a time.

Actually, the grossest thing about this ad is not the creepy morning-wood/tongue-boner stuff, but the fact that it is selling FRIED CHEESE BALLS for BREAKFAST.
Clearly, Cheesy Tots should be a lunch or afternoon-snack food.

I wish I had a job that involved throwing dead animals at little girls. Also, I wish I had a job.
How much this service costs, and whether or not it includes any, like, ACTUAL ad placements I do not know. But our web traffic has been pretty slow lately, and we know He certainly won't listen to any prayers We might make on our own behalf so..

Happy Sinead O'Connor's Day!
Thank you to DLISTED for reminding me of the true spirit of my homeland with this great video about some nice people who have found their leprachaun. Be sure to catch the "amateur sketch" so you will know what a leprachaun looks like if you happen to come across one yourself.
These incredibly life-like dolls, called "reborns", can even be custom-made to look like your own grown-up, coop-flown, or dead babies.For the first three minutes of a really creepy documentary about a British reborn maker and a bunch of fanatic reborn collectors, click here.

Disgusted by former political wife Dina Matos McGreevey's insult-slinging whirlwind media tour last week, a former aide has now revealed that he engaged in many "three-way sex romps" before and during the McGreevey marriage!!! Driver Teddy Pedersen told the newspapers this weekend that he detailed the sexy menage-a-troises in a sworn deposition that will likely be used in the divorce
trial."It's frustrating to hear her call Gov. Spitzer a hypocrite while s
