T.A.T.U may sadly have broken up but fear not a transsexual replacement is on the way. A genre bending Stuart Clark reports
Caught In The Net is sorry to be the bearer of bad news but…we don’t know how to tell you this… T.A.T.U. are no more. Would you like a moment to compose yourself? How about a nice cup of tea? Better? Okay, we’ll continue. Due to financial reasons – i.e. having shit loads of rubles that urgently need spending – the faux lesbians have hung up their frilly underwear, leaving a huge hole in the market for a new bunch of pervy popsters. Who, after much research, we reckon should be French transsexual trio SheMale. Already the cause of much distress to Monsieur Le Pen and his NF buddies, Victoria, Axelle and Gisele have done serious damage to the French charts with ‘Etre La Femme’ and ‘SheMale Generation’ and are hoping to repeat that success here later in the year. So what if they sound like The Cheeky Girls with sore throats, CIN demands that you turn them into stars! Get an eye and earful of them at shemale-legroupe.artistes.universalmusic.fr
Call us overly cautious if you will, but we’ve always felt that Russian Roulette should only be played by under-16s if they’ve a parent or legal guardian present. Well, until now that is. A huge seller in Japan over Christmas, Kaba Kick is “Russian Roulette for kids. The player points the gun at his or her own head and pulls the trigger. Instead of bullets a pair of feet kick out from the barrel which is shaped like a pink hippo.”
Never mind kids, Kaba Kick is a must-play for anyone returning home monged of a Saturday night. Find out more from noisydisco.free.fr/kaba-kick.jpg
From there it’s but a mere mouse-click to www.bleep.com, the online home of Warp Records who’ve just made their entire back catalogue available for download. So, if you’re iPOD’s screaming out for a blast of Polygon Windows, Autechre or Drexciya, you know where to go.
Which just leaves time for a quick visit to www.liquidgeneration.com/poptoons/saddam_outkast.asp. Saddam mightn’t rule anymore but Outkast certainly do!
