Forty Sexiest Frontwomen in Rock History

Nerve.com recently named the Forty Sexiest Frontwomen in Rock History. Among the chosen were no-brainers like Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, Patti Smith and Janis Joplin. Some of the more contemporary and unconventional picks were Regina Spektor, Peaches, Miho Hatori (Cibo Matto), Beth Ditto (The Gossip) and Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs).

Nerve editors overlooked Vermont's sassy songstress, Grace Potter -- however, doesn't that Getty Image on the first page look like Grace? Hmmm...

Who is the sexiest frontwoman of all time? Tina Turner, of course.

Milk

Just when I thought I couldn't love Sean Penn more than I already do, I saw the preview for "Milk" over the weekend. Penn will play Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in the US.  Add Josh Brolin and James Franco to the cast, and I think we're in for a great movie.

 

"Milk" is set to hit theaters in November, and I plan to be among the first to see it when comes to Vermont.

Stuck on Amadis

You might recall my crush on local metalheads Amadis. Long-haired, leather-clad and lustful — what more could a girl ask for?

I don't mind admitting my jealousy of Seven Days videographer Eva Sollberger. She recently got to spend an evening at the Champlain Valley Fair with the fine men of Amadis, talking about music and cocks (literally) for her weekly series "Stuck In Vermont."

I love this vid because it shows that these guys aren't rockstar assholes — which makes me like them even more. I'm not sure whether I want to fuck them or invite them over for a Battlestar Galactica marathon. Perhaps both...

If I have to be "stuck in Vermont," I'm glad it's with these guys (and Eva Sollberger).

Licks,
MM

Sir Elton brings the glam to VT

Hey, Jack Thurston, Elton John called, and he wants his shirt back. Oh, wait. . .

Seriously, though, I love me some Jack Thurston — best reporter in the market, in my humble opinion (shirt or not).

Ms. Jackson, if you're nasty

According to the Gigwise.com, the $550,000 fine against CBS for the Janet Jackson Nipplegate scandal has been been dropped. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the FCC deviated too much from its "normal" fining practices in the CBS case. Gigwise says the court ruled that the FCC “cannot change a well-established course of action without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure."

CBS commented, “It recognizes that there are rare instances, particularly during live programming, when it may not be possible to block unfortunate fleeting material, despite best efforts.”

What's still hilarious is that they called it a "wardrobe malfunction." Justin Timberlake clearly reaches over and rips the boob cup off of Janet Jackson's chest immediately after singing the words, "gonna have you naked by the end of this song." I mean, c'mon! Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the fine was dropped against CBS, but perhaps they should be fined for thinking the American people so dumb as to believe that was a "wardrobe malfunction."

You can relive the memories on YouTube.

Calling All Size Queens

A "big" thank you going out to Funky Brown Chic for twittering about "The Big Penis Book," put out by Taschen (the same folks who brought you "The Big Book of Breasts").

"The Big Penis Book" features over 400 photos of large (and I mean LARGE) penises. The majority of the photos are vintage shots from the seventies, including some rare photos of John Holmes. My, my...

I would show you some excerpts from the book, but the photos are too steamy for my blog. If you want a sneak peak, click here. Obviously, not a work-friendly link — unless you work in the XL condom factory.

Happy Weekend,
MM
