My Loony Bun is Fine Benny Lava!

This is probably one of the funniest things I've seen online in a while and I had to post it here too. The formula is rather simple: take a random Bollywood music video and get it translated - with subtitles - from what you think the words sound like in English. Example: turn your back to the screen and jot down whatever first comes to mind when you hear they sing - and voila! A masterpiece of hilarious non-sense that fits to a tee to what comes out of the performer's mouths. The auteur of this very creative oeuvre, Buffalax, unsatisfied with simply giggling at all those silly dance moves and group routines (and wardrobe), allowed me to ache with laughter watching his hysterical take on Indian cinema. Sample quotes: "Who put the goat in there? The yellow goat I ate", "Someday I sell DNA" and the classic "I'd love to see you pee on us tonight!". I guarantee you will love it too!

Siouxsie's New Album - Mantaray

High-Priestess of Punk Siouxsie Sioux has a brand new album, Mantaray, coming out on October 02. This is Siouxsie's first solo album though she had participated in many individual projects before, away from The Banshees and The Creatures. Recently she contributed on Basement Jaxx's album Kish Kash, with the title song, as singer and composer. She is considered one of the most influential singers of her era, with an unique singing style and looks to match.

Siouxsie brings back many great memories of the mid 80's when I was dancing to her songs at Crepusculo de Cubatao, in Rio, wrapped in dark clothing and believing I was soooo cool.

You can listen to song samples and get pre-order info at Amazon.

Her new single "Into a Swan" promo video is also here for you:

Ultra Nate @ The Week Rio

The Baltimore-native singer Ultra Nate will be performing at Rio de Janeiro's new mega club The Week tomorrow night, Saturday September 01. She will be singing tracks from her 5Th album "Grime, Silk & Thunder". Her new single "Automatic" is a cover from the 1984 Pointer Sisters dance smash hit. The original song reached #5 in the Billboard charts by the way. Ultra is known for her huge dance-floor classics like "Free", "Found a Cure", "Joy" and "Desire", and anyone that has been to a decent club in the 16 years will recognize them within the first accords.

To watch the steamy homoerotic promo video (that you won't see at your local MTV), with a cameo of a very Leigh Bowery-looking being, click here.

The Song of Summer - Rihanna

Rihanna has claimed Summer 2007 as her own. Her smash hit "Umbrella" is one of the most played songs of the season and she shows that she is here to stay. The 19 year-old was born in Barbados and her new album " Good Girls Gone Bad" is already her 3rd US release. Besides being very talented it doesn't hurt that she is also stunningly beautiful. Watch her live performance via AOL Live Sessions and tell me what you think.

Momix - Opus Cactus

Momix - Opus Cactus

I went to see the Momix dance troupe this past Sunday at Citibank Hall here in Rio. They performed their two-act "Opus Cactus" and I must say I was mesmerized by their technique and creativity. The last time I saw them perform live was at Teatro Municipal in Rio in the late 80's.
