What Pop Culture Dreams Are Made of

Ke$ha - Blow …the video. With James Van Der Beek, unicorns, rainbows, deadly lasertag, human taxidermy (remember: the album is called Cannibal), and autotune. 

Enjoy.

Reactions upon watching this (in real time from gchat)

Marley: obv i have to watch this

WAIT THIS IS NOT ABOUT DRUGS?!

This is getting filed with the movie Blow in a category I am calling “WAIT THIS IS NOT ABOUT DRUGS?!”

Russ: no it is not about drugs but it has unicorns

Marley: fair enough

dude laser tag is AWESOME

also

this video kinda wins

Russ: i told you



updated to add: I just realized that this was the inspiration for the video. Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper plus some 8th grade doodles.  Ke$ha's what, 21 and a day? She still has those.

 

 ...wait, the movie Blow is totally about drugs, isn't it. huh.

Our gift (guide) to you.

We have seen about 500 different gift guides over the past three weeks but none of them really appealed to our refined tastes.  Where's the gift roundup for young fans of Stevie Nicks who wear too-tight black jeans and silver jewelry and lurk in the corner of underground after-hours clubs and occasionally indulge in a watermelon-fourLOKO-and-cough syrup cocktail.  WHERE'S THE WITCHHOUSE GIFT GUIDE?

We realized, of course, that everyone was leaving that one up to us.  And so we present to you, dear readers, the least-cheery gift guide of all.  Happy holidays or whatever from your friends at soldout.

A Witch House/Grave Wave/Fuckcore Gift Guide from Soldout.

 Starting off easy and obvious...

SALEM on vinyl, for your live-mixing needs.  And cuz it's classier than the illegal download you've been listening to all year..

SALEM King Night on Vinyl, $12.99

Ke$ha is Billboard's Hot 100 Artist of the Year

Lady Gaga is Artist of the Year (PHEW!) but Ke$ha is hot-hot-hot!

An excerpt from the interview with Ke$ha on billboard.com

How will the Ke$ha persona change, now that you're not really a bum any more?

Have you seen me? Yes, I am! All you have to do is look at "Cannibal" to see that you can still celebrate life in a non-douche bag way. Money really doesn't affect me when it comes to my happiness or deciding who I'm going to date, and that's something I want to hold on to. You can be really happy and you can look like a badass and be a total baller, but it doesn't necessarily have to be in a financial sense.

As you can see, it's more or less what you'll find on her formspring

How do you become noticed by record comps/ labels/ whatever?

ui just gotta work n then u make ur one song and its KAFUCKINBAM like that

All's we have to say is, thank you Dr. Luke. Thank you.  You've saved Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Lassie, and ...yes, pop music.  We salute you.

SALEM SOLDOUT

From the times magazine style pages.

So the band whose members couldn't bother to wake up for the NYT interview now lets the Times dress them up in Alexander McQueen? (413xaNdr Mc2u33n?)  John (We meant Jack, sorry. I think if we know anything it's who is who in Salem, Marley just wanted to get this up as quickly as possible given that we were all WTF SALEM + ALEXANDESTER CROWLEY MCQUEEN WTF--Ed.)

 got to wear his own white tee, although he's stylin an $1800 foxtail. And I'm sure slightly soiled off white white tees are Dior Homme's next big thing. 

...there's a selling out and soldout. pun in there...can you make it for us?
