California

Sure, the singer is from Montreal by way of Paris, but I defy you to tell me that she didn’t absolutely nail SoCal with this song. This video, by the way, cost three-quarters of a million dollars to make, and was directed by the relatively insane Abel Ferrara, whose habits may perhaps explain why so much of that money ultimately ended up in Columbia.

Lyrics and translation are after the jump.

I have no idea who this is

None. I stole the quiz from Pharyngula, though, so I’m not ruling out the possibility that he is a marine biologist and athiest missionary to the People’s Republic of Washington DC.

I am:

Samuel R. “Chip” Delany

Few have had such broad commercial success with aggressively experimental prose techniques.

Which science fiction writer are you?

Donnie Davies performs God Hates a Fag: the infamous video

Yes doubters, it’s the real thing! Now that every single one of the Right Reverend Donnie Davieswebsites has had the plug pulled on it, the entire Internet, apparently, experiencing the online equivalent of a Coyote Morning, the banned video is hotter than Helmand heroin

Naturally from the very first we at the ol’ raincoaster blog have been on this like santorum on a rentboy. The video file was lovingly ripped at great pain and uncountable expense from a ripped copy of a ripped copy of a MySpace video which had been smuggled out of Celebrities in the bottom of a converted Boblbee, and God, who hates a fag by the way, only knows what the quality is like on this poor bugger. Sod’s law.

Yes, people, it is a joke. You may climb down from the ceiling now.

Latest UPDATE HERE: what MTV doesn’t want you to see!

Helen Mirren topless: tardis companion hot

See? Totally tardis-worthyThe ever-classy Sun has provided us today with one of the true greats in the field of service journalism, an immortal story that will live long in infamy and on fansites…well, at least till this time next year.

They have dug up topless shots of all of the Oscar nominees for Best Supporting Actress, and what an eyefull it is, too. Defamer brought the story stateside, where I found and lifted it for your viewing pleasure. Naturally, let it not go unsaid that the Sun link is NOT SAFE FOR WORK, SCHOOL, REHAB, OR THE COMPUTER ON THE SEX OFFENDER WARD. And NEITHER IS THE FULL TOPLESS HELEN MIRREN PIC ON LOLEBRITY.

My favorite part of the whole thing is the headline “Mirren was GRIPPED by fear” just under her picture. Although it must be said that the dark horse winner is Dame Judi Dench, whose 100% natural A-list knockers easily lead the pack by a head or at least an erect nipple or pair of carefully-placed leaves.

DAME Judi gives an elegant performance as the appropriately named Titania in this unique 1968 interpretation of a Shakespeare classic.

The judges felt her sense of ironic joie de vivre, along with two of the best knockers in the business, made her a candidate we couldn’t ignore.

A real trip down Mammary Lane . . .
