So, what’s new, huh? Well, the cause of the recent radio silence is that for the past two weeks I’ve been suffering from, firstly, one of the worst summer colds I can ever remember having and, secondly, following that summer cold, one of the nastiest sinus infections imaginable. It’s only looking backwards that I can really [...] You either dig Toronto’s Hidden Cameras or you do not dig them. You either find them hopelessly mannered and naïve or you do not. You either find their music refreshing in a DIY/low-art-gay-churchy kinda way or you find it predictable in a samey-same kinda way. I like them. A lot. They’re fun, they’re fresh, they have [...] August 13th, 2009 | Categories: Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Celebrities, This Hear, Toronto, Vancouver |
 4 commentsNot normally a big fan of sultry or poppy songstresses, I’ll cut some slack to those whose pipes are infused with disarming sass (Lily Allen) or an abundance of style without that vocal showoffiness which makes most of the shit played in nonheterosexual venues unlistenable. And, indeed, Paloma Faith has all of the above. [...] There really wasn’t much discussion about it. Though Champ and I never really did The Pride Thing in Toronto — at least, not together, and not for the past few years — we didn’t need to really discuss whether (or not) we were going to take in Vancouver’s festivities . We just knew, y’know? I mean, [...] August 5th, 2009 | Categories: 3 Kinds of Gay, Actual Gay Conversations, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Celebrities, Gymnauseam, Heroes, IntoxiBlogging™, News for Moms, Religion is Bad, Sarcasm, Stupidity, Toronto, Vancouver |
14 commentsCleve Jones is kind of a hero of mine. You might recall him from the movie Milk; he was the sassy street-hustler-turned-politico played by Emile Hirsch (the real Cleve had a microcameo, too). He’s spent a lifetime working at the forefront and behind the scenes for LGBT equality and HIV/AIDS issues, he conceived the NAMES [...] August 2nd, 2009 | Categories: Actual Gay Conversations, Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Celebrities, Heroes, Vancouver |
4 commentsAs nostalgically fun as it was to see a chubbier, balder and 25-years-older Thomas Dolby performing “The Flat Earth” in yesterday’s post, I must cop to a special adoration for his “Windpower” (also from The Golden Age of Wireless), with its Gary-Numan’s-synths-meet-Peter-Gabriel’s-gated-reverb-drums and New Romantic lyrical idealism. I wish this YouTube clip could convey the scienterrific [...] Twenty-five years after its release, Thomas Dolby’s The Flat Earth is still as haunting (and remarkable) as ever. I’ve been listening to all of his back-catalogue for a few days now and it’s as fresh as the first time I heard it, so long ago. From a live performance in Chicago, 2006: Video: Thomas Dolby [...] “I don’t want to sound crazy…”:
I hope you’ll welcome the return of an orphaned series here at This.That.No Other., prompted by a post earlier this week on Joe.My.God. showcasing the cheeky Air New Zealand video “The Bare Essentials of Safety”. More interesting — to me, at least — was the 45-second TV spot for the airline, featuring the talents of Air [...] July 2nd, 2009 | Categories: Bad Behaviour, Celebrities, Green on Thursday, Stupidity, Yum |
 One comment…and two 13-year-olds. How is this sad? Sure, I liked Thriller, too. BUT. HE. GOT. CHILDREN. DRUNK. AND. FUCKED. THEM. (Mourn the talented kid who died 20 years ago, instead). From the new Phoenix album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, which is getting a surprising amount of airplay on the iPod. Visuals by 35east: Video: Phoenix, “Love Like a Sunset” (35east) Normally I’m not a big fan of guys whose peculiar eyelash/skintone combinations evoke eyeliner. This guy manages to erode my resistance. He can do comedy and drama and is, undeniably, a ridiculously handsome man. Turns out, when the suit comes off? Hey-hayyyy… Nestor Carbonell:
That hey-hayyy, after the jump. Laying blame. Hard. Where it belongs. Olbermann: Video: Keith Olbermann Fingers Bill O’Reilly, Bernard Goldberg and Fox News as Terrorists I can’t go near comments sections online today. The evil perpetrated by Dr. George Tiller’s murderer is eclipsed by the stupid, hateful, pig-ignorant, seething, antediluvian, subhuman christianists who climb over themselves to justify, rationalize and even applaud [...] June 1st, 2009 | Categories: Bad Behaviour, Celebrities, Religion is Bad, Stupidity, What Time Is It?, WTF? |
8 commentsA (Keith Haring’s) Pop Shop Bag Ian Dury’s Manifesto (1977 buttons acquired in 1980) So, a few months ago I had a bit of fun at the expense of two guys named Brett Stewart, one hailing from Australia’s Manly Sea Eagles footie club, the other vastly more annoying. And, speaking of Manly Sea Eagles, there’s another lad on the team, one who calls himself David Williams, is 22 and looks [...] May 28th, 2009 | Categories: Awesome, Bad Behaviour, Bliss, Celebrities, Green on Thursday, Gymnauseam, Yum |
