TPR buddy and contributor Gay Cousin Teddy posted this video of this cute gay guy signing the words, in rhythm, to Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” and I had to repost. Selfless endeavors, in a tank top none the less, will always get a shout out from me. If you like these, check out cutie’s channel for other vids including him signing to Kanye. Rihanna’s “Please Don’t Stop the Music” below.

Someone talked the Scion car company into sponsoring an independent film series. Cynics will argue that Scion is just out to sell cars, but you have to hand it to the suits for choosing a surprisingly diverse line-up of intriguing films. Route kicked off in September with George Hickenloper’s chronicle of the L.A. music scene, Mayor of Sunset Strip (2003). Raquel Cepeda’s Bling: A Planet Rock (2007), a documentary of hip-hop culture in war-torn Sierra Leone, screened in October. Last month, Route brought Jennie Livington’s stunning documentary of the 1980s Harlem drag ball scene, Paris Is Burning (1990) back to big screens across America. To see these quality films at “no charge” meant, of course, that one also had to accept free beer and merchandise that event staff kept shoving in one’s face. Nothing is truly free.
The last offering of the Route film series is Daft Punk’s Electroma (2006), which screens over the next two weeks across the country. Directors Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo dabble in a whole lot of everything, not the least of which is recording and producing world-renowned House music as Daft Punk. While Daft Punk have been integrating visuals into live shows for years, Electroma is their first full-length live action film (they had that cartoon).
According to Route’s publicity, “Daft Punk’s Electroma is an odyssey of two robots who journey across a mythic American landscape of haunting, surreal beauty on a quest to become human. With its breathtaking cinematography, innovative filming techniques, and above all its underlying search for humanity within a dystopian environment, Daft Punk have delivered a film that finds a common thread with their previous work while exploring new horizons as directors of their first feature film. “
And hey, free beer.

It’s been a while, her DJ sets are just trashy enough to keep me sated but I miss Peaches. She just makes me laugh. Artists whose strength is their hook-up ready singles are nothing new, so you haters can just halt right there. “Downtown,” “Boys Wanna Be Her,” and “Stick It To The Pimp” from Impeach My Bush were all bangers, remixed and danced-to across the world. Plus, she’s a prominently political rocker that’s never afraid to put her money on what she shoves her mouth over. To my delight, there is some momentum building at camp rump- I got an email just to let me the know the XXXtress will be touring as a DJ next spring, there’s a sale for merch at peachesrocks.com, we can expect a new LP in fall ’08 AND she just remixed Tone Loc’s Wild Thing. Good enough. A trip, skip and lick on my keyboard and I also found a hysterical collaboration with underground queer icons Scream Club. “Fine as Fuck,” a song where the ridiculous hook is only out shined by Cindy Wonderful’s deft pillow talk.
