In the Year 2000!

Source: www.celebritysmackblog.com

The year 2000 seemed eons away back in the 1930s.

This entertaining retro video from the 30s shows what fashion designers believed we would be wearing in the year 2000. Everything from electric belts that adapt the body to climatic changes to the all-in-one dress. A few predictions were right on, but most were way off, however, this is worth a watch.

“Oohh..swish!”

One of the extras on the set of the 1961 movie The Misfits was lucky enough to take some great footage behind the scenes with Hollywood legends Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe.

It’s pretty cool, check out the video and hear the story behind it.

The film is up for auction on June 21st at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. It’s appraised as a collectible at $40,000.

I Love the 90s

Recorded January 30, 1994 at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle and not officially released until October 8, 2002, it’s Nirvana with You Know You’re Right.

This song became the focal point of the dispute between Courtney Love and Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl. One of my favorite Nirvana tunes.

I Love the 80s

From the 1986 album So by Peter Gabriel, it’s ‘Big Time’.

A visually pleasing video that involves claymation, it stood out like a diamond compared to a lot of the 80s video crap that was out at the time. Best viewed after smoking a spliff. One of my favorite PG songs!

Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape!

Jimi Hendrix, the iconic rock ‘n roll guitarist, will be seen in a new role – as an adult film star – in “Jimi Hendrix The Sex Tape” to be released online today.

It will be available in stores across the country a week later on Tuesday, May 6th.

Vivid obtained the footage from a collector of rock ‘n roll memorabilia. It was shot about 40 years ago in a hotel room as Hendrix had an erotic liaison with two slender brunettes. When the footage starts, Hendrix appears mellow while on the receiving end of bi-racial lovemaking from the two girls. In contrast, his enthusiasm to give back pleasure appears to be boundless.

The DVD is a sexual documentary that gives insight on the uninhibited rock ‘n roll scene of the Sixties. The company consulted with several experts to authenticate the footage and the movie features commentary by two of the experts that Vivid brought in: Pamela Des Barres, author of “I’m with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie” and other books, who teams up with Cynthia Plaster Caster, famous for creating plaster molds of the penises of rock stars, including that of Hendrix. We learn more about the sexual side of Hendrix’ music through the commentary from both women who knew him personally.

“This new movie shows that Jimi Hendrix could have been as great a porn star as he was a rock star. He could clearly play more than just his guitar,” said Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch. It’s easy to see that he turned women on with his music and his passion.”

As consultants, the first job of Des Barres and Plaster Caster was to confirm that it is actually Hendrix portrayed in the 8 mm footage. “No doubt about it,” says Plaster Caster. “That’s Jimi Hendrix’ d*ck and I should know.” She then relates how she was invited to Hendrix’ hotel room on February 25, 1968, where she made a plaster mold of his penis which she compares to Jimi’s on film.

Plaster Caster says Hendrix had an orgasm while in her cast for the mold, which she numbered #0004 and called the “Penis de Milo.” “It was a magical process that only lasted a half hour,” she recalls. In the Vivid DVD she also reveals that on the night she cast Hendrix’ penis she also had sex with musician Noel Redding, bassist for The Jimi Hendrix Experience band.

Des Barres says in her commentary: “Hendrix liked to be filmed having sex. He’s the ultimate adult film movie star. I understand why everyone wanted to sleep with the guy. He played like an all-encompassing rock orgasm. He reeked of sex. You wanted to strip to keep up with him when he played ‘Foxy Lady.’”

Des Barres and Plaster Caster talk extensively about Hendrix and his influence on the Sixties. “It was a time of exploring bodies, music, drugs, of the coming together of like-minded souls who thought they would change the world,” says Des Barres. She and Plaster Caster were both among the “top groupies” invited to all of the major musical events.

“The footage proves,” says Des Barres, “that Hendrix was fabulous in bed and really wanted to please his partner.”

Flashback 2002 – Clinic ‘Walking With Thee’

Source: www.celebritysmackblog.com

Ok, so I have the ‘I Love the 70s, 80s and 90s‘…but I still like to revisit music that has been released in the past 8 years.

I wanted to post this video of Clinic’s Walking With Thee because the video alone is what pulled me into this song originally. Released in February 2002 on Domino Records, it’s a song that may have slipped by you as it didn’t get deserving airplay. However, it was named as one of Rolling Stone’s Top 50 albums of 2002.

Hailing from Liverpool, these guys use 60s sounding keyboards and have a vintage sound that’s just a little twisted and creepy. Just the way I like it.

Check out the video, because even if you don’t like the song you will most likely find the video amusing.

InTouch (check them out for interviews with her) unearthed these sexy shots of Angelina Jolie at 16 before all the marriages and kids. Even back then she knew how to use her sexuality.

I Love the 90s

Ok, seriously. If you have never taken a trip down memory lane with me before, this is one you cannot miss!

I completely forgot about this song until I heard my pal DJ Footlong playing it over at HeadCaseRadio.com.

You will love this song – even if you never heard it before. From the 1992 album, “Hello Dad, I’m in Jail,” it’s Was (Not Was) with the title track, “Hello Dad, I’m in Jail.”

I guarantee if you crank this song at any party, it will be a hit. Because it’s just f*cking awesome.

Enjoy.
