Friday Mixtape: April 16, 2010

Friday Mixtape! You're in for a real treat! Here we go!!! The first track is "Chrome Sitar" by Marc Bolan "and" T. Rex...?... isn't Marc Bolan like the main dude in T. Rex?? Why did he have to go all Nicole Scherzinger...or maybe I'm misunderstanding the situation...and yes, I know he's dead, I'm sorry, RIP...sorry for desecrating your name with a Pussycat Dolls comparison. Anyway, suchhhh a great song. We all know T. Rex is da shiz.

Ok, numba two is "Human Nature,"by Madonna is an old favorite I've been listening to for the past couple weeks. Love. One of my fave Madonna jams of all time.

"Gotta Get Mine," by MC Breed featuring 2Pac is the third track and also the third song that was a former flame that I just got reacquainted with this week. Really, really good song. Just very solid.

Track 4, here's a real fucking gem: "A Date with Jack," (with a really random interview at the end) by Castration Squad, of which our BFF Phranc was a member:

Track 5 is"It's Only Rock'n'Roll," covered by Tina Turner and Mick Jagger (Epic Collabroation! Only in leauge with those two with David Bowie -seperately- and Queen/Bowie)...Wait would it still be a cover...because it's originally by the Stones? ...Eh. We'll leave these things to the brain surgeons and rocket scientists.

Track 6: Pixies' "Dig for Fire". Yeah.

Shangri-Las' "Leader of the Pack". Ah, so good. I love dem '60s girl groups. I was reading this book on feminism and women's history, etc, and it had this whole huge section on female musicans and tons of praise for the Shangri-Las, especially ("They wore leather pants and sang about sneaking out and dating boys who rode motorcycles"), and other '60s female artists and it reminded me of my love for them.

Track 8: Lenny Kravitz: "It Ain't Over Till It's Over". If you're like me, you've heard this song a million times but it still warms your heart and you don't have the willpower to turn it off.

Track 9 is "When Worlds Collide," by Powerman 5000. I'm sorry. Truly sorry. I don't know why I did it (isn't one of the dudes like Rob Zombie's brother?).

And your fun final track is..."Celebrity Skin," by Hole! Yay. Epic Fun! I know most of the songs this week were ones that everyone already knows but meh. That's just how it turned out. Enjoy it.

B. D. WONG!

Here at Iconic Eggroll, we love Law and Order: Special Victims Unit! We love Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson and Finn and Munch-LOVE- and Dr. Warner and Capitan Cragen, and we think it was a good idea, Dick Wolf. But we have a very special love for B.D. Wong. B.D. Wong, who plays Dr. George Huang,the gay shrink for the SVU.He is just so...so... B.D. Wong....(He turns up at around 7:00). Weirdly, this is also the first SVU episdode I ever saw...

....B.D. Wong....so calm, serious, beautiful!

Wow. B.D., you are a hero! I love you!

B.D.!!I love how you say that the show is feminist! Plus, lolz, that dude: "I would never have thought a really dark show like this, which tackles real-world issues would have a strong female fan base...". You know, women hate real world issues.

B.D. Wong is so amazing! I love how he is such a great role model and activist! I know this post was very incoherent but...what can i say? Love makes you blind.

Also, did you know he was...

Shang! From Mulan! -was this known?

Ah, well, not by me.

Anyway. We. Love. B. D. Wong.

Lesbian Plot in Desperate Housewives

This is so amazing! Desperate Housewives, one of my favorite shows, I must admit, has introduced a lesbian character, Robin Gallagher, played by Julie Benz. Robin is a stripper who Susan takes under her wing and... nevermind I will save my synopsis on Desperate Housewives for another time. At first, when I found out that Robin was a lesbian, I didn't think much of it, since there have been small lesbian roles on the show before, but then in last night's episode, The Chase, Julie Benz's character actually SLEEPS WITH Katherine Mayfair, A HOUSEWIFE! I cannot believe this! A female lead on a popular television show has GAY SEX! Yay!
