Who needs the extra x: xx = sex

I swear to Prince's bare buttcheeks, The xx is the sexiest band around (see, I wrote it in red just to show you HOW sexy.)

If their 2009 album "xx" (as heard on Rock Rulz episode 1, btw) isn't proof enough, check out this subtle, yet smokin' video for "VCR." (More proof of sexiness: only xx could make the fab player of VHS tapes sexy). When I think of VCRs I now think of slow rewinding . . . and boning.

Enjoy.



The video is courtesy of Pitchfork, who also reports that the xx will soon remix a new album from jazz/spoken word/and badass artist Gil Scott-Heron. If you don't know Mr. Scott-Heron, then perhaps you have heard the phrase "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." (Never-mind the fact that the revolution WAS televised and it's called Jersey Shore.)

Rock Rulz Episode 1: Debut

Here it is-- Rock Rulz (Because misspellings are hardcore and "Rulz" fit nicely on my fist). Consider this your musical lesson to keeping up with the rock Joneses (and the George Jones-es too).

The theme for our pilot is "Debut" (how appropriate, right? I know, I know-- I'm cute). This was made next to a bathroom using a green electric blanket, thumbtacks, some shop lights clamped to a chair, coffee, a whole lot of moxie and some old fashioned hard work-- kinda like all the best rock and roll.

Please watch it and give us your feedback. We would love to know what you think both about the music and the production of the show. We're already thinking of ways to make it better (like WTF is up with my hair?) and hope to make it a weekly show.

Big thanks to Erin McHenry and Rob Walters, my partners in rhyme. Look for more to come from our newly formed production company-- Seven Tummy.

Thanks for watching.
