Suicide Mike

Posted in Music on October 17, 2013 by RickNews

Ah, Michael Hutchence. The late lead singer of the Australian group, INXS, met an all-too-early end via suicide at age 37, in 1997.

Here’s their 1990 hit, “Suicide Blonde.” Enjoy…and aim higher.

Unfortunately, This is How Many Girls Behave These Days

No words for this one, as a “video” will paint millions. Here’s a “prank” clip of a “smarmy eastern-Eurotrash” man attempting to “pick-up” a girl. At first, it seems as if she’s repulsed by his creepy accent and even creepier silk-print shirt. However, when she sees the man entering a Lamborghini, her tune swifly changes.

Enjoy…and remember, ladies: nobody digs a “gold-digger.” Gents: watch and learn what’s out there for you.

The Boys In Leather

One of my favorite blogs, The Selvedge Yard, has a great write-up of the 1964 film, The Leather Boys.

Check out the article here.

Cut ‘Em Up, Chuck!

Posted in Music on October 10, 2013 by RickNews

Their fans have been labeled a “gang” by no less than the FBI. I can only be referring to one music group: Detroit’s own, Insane Clown Posse.

Together for more than 20 years, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent Jay have basically been rapping “horror movies.” What is acceptable in the genre of film suddenly becomes a threat to National Security when two guys in clown makeup sing.

Try to plan your next vacation around the Gathering of the Juggalos and enjoy “Chuck.”

…And The “Death Watch” Begins

Posted in Automobiles on October 9, 2013 by RickNews

The legendary British luxury marque, Aston Martin, just posted a loss of about $40,000,000.00 for the year 2012!

Read the full article here and maybe we can all get “Q” to issue everyone a DBS…

“It’s not really mine–I just lease the thing…”

Wonder What They’d Do For a Klondike..?!

Seems that a few  “screws” at a PA correctional facility amused themselves recently by having inmates fight for snacks.

Fight your cellmate in a bloody “death match?” Worth it!

 

The geniuses even organized a “Retard Olympics,” in which inmates competed for coffee and other treats.

If You Must Watch One Music Video Today…

The legendary Gary Numan is still going strong today. From leading the Tubeway Army to the classic, mega-hit, “Cars,” Numan pioneered an entire genre of “industrial music.”

Here’s Gary doing the best version of “Are Friends Electric?” you’ve ever seen.

You’re welcome.

They Just Ceased Production of the Most Reliable Aston Martin

Posted in Automobiles on October 2, 2013 by RickNews

Incredibly, England’s own Aston Martin, had the cojones to slap their stickers on a Scion iQ and call it a scion of the once-legendary marque. Complete with a leather interior and the worst interpretation of the AM grille in history, the Cygnet says “goodbye” to this world after only two years in production.

The only Aston Martin to always start-up; never to leak; and made in Japan.

The worst part? It’s probably the most reliable Aston in history, considering it’s a Toyota. Read more here.
