Iron Sideshow

Not Google Video, but YouTube:

AAAH! Dakota Fanning! Kawaiiiiiiiiiiii! ^______^

A Japanese TV show, featuring an interview with child actress Dakota Fanning. The interview is conducted by a Japanese schoolboy from one of her fan clubs, who clearly cannot hold his shit together when within touching distance of his idol. His English ain't that great before she even steps into the room, and it doesn't get much better.

I'd like to also note that, according to IMDB, Dakota is going to be twelve years old in February. The guy going to pieces over her? Seventeen.

Fucking EW, Japan.

Jesus, that was just tragic. But that "THIS IS A PEN!" moment was awesome. Sadly, most of the Internet audience won't get the joke.

Another YouTube: A music video for Polysics, a Japanese band described as "Devo-influenced."

Y'don't say.

Still catchy as hell, though. And that little girl is really quite the dancer.

Ah! POLYSICS!

They are my second favorite band after DEVO, and yes - they *are* DEVO Influnced. Poke at the other POLYSICS videos on YouTube. They're the best thing to come out of Japan since Pocky.

Their live shows are INTENSE. I saw them in Philly and was made to carry the guitarist on my shoulders during a song ('cause I was wearing a DEVO shirt, I think.) They really are awesome.

Here's some videos to check out for a taste:
Peach Pie On The Beach

Kaja Kaja Goo (Live on BBC 3)

Coelacanth Is Android

XCT - the video that got me hooked.

Yes. I am a fanboy. Thank you for asking.

Did Polysic do that song "Super-rad"?

This is almost as funny as "I attack the darkness!" And so very sad too.

And I'm pretty sure this wasn't posted previously. If so, I submit myself to horrible punishment for repetition.

American Idol is only good for the first couple of episodes, because I don't give a shit about the people who can actually sing. I like the unbelievably bad auditions. All the real gems always find their way online, too.

Case in point: Super genderfuck deluxe. A very... atypical young man sings a Whitney Houston song. He jokes that people "mistake him for a girl," but he's not exactly helping matters with a highlighted pageboy haircut, heels, tight jeans, and a capsleeved blouse, now is he? I don't care that he gets a kick out of screwing with everyone's assumptions, but dude, don't act like you have no idea what everyone's staring at. It makes me suspect you think I'm stupid.

The audio, sadly, does not sync. And the damn thing was filmed by pointing a camera at a TV screen. But you get the general idea.
