White Lies have been very naughty boys!
And we thought they were such nice boys! The previously squeaky clean White Lies have come up with a fetish webcam-inspired video for their new ‘Strangers’ single.
If you’re into leather ‘n’ plastic ‘n’ rubber ‘n’ whips ‘n’ saucy French maid’s outfits, you’re in for a real treat. The rest of us can just tut-tut and go “down with this sort of thing!”
Witness their filth hound-ry at http://www.weareallstrangers.com Meanwhile, Caught In The Net was glued to its plassma screen last week as Stephen Fry made his eagerly-awaited cameo in Ros na Rún as a plummy English tourist bumbling his way round the Gaeltacht.
Fry is the latest in a reasonably long line of celebs to pop up in unexpected soapy places. We remember almost choking on our teatime beans on toast two-years ago when Lily Allen just happened to be in Erinsborough and have equally fond memories of Peter Kay nursing a pint of Newton & Ridley’s in the Rover’s.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EZlT_tJazk and www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmjrGpLU_fU have the respective proof.
From there it’s but a mere mouse-click to www.dontpaniconline.com/magazine/arts/gonzo-a-graphic-biography-of-hunter-s-thompson where you can peruse an interview with Will Bingley and Anthony Hope-Smith, the pair behind a new comic book celebrating the legendry penslinger.
“We felt that he’d been misrepresented, particularly with the movies and bigger US papers,” Bingley reflects. “His broader image is that pure kind of gonzo thing, which is a massive misrepresentation of him. So we figured we could go in and tell a more interesting story.”
Which just leaves time for quick visits to louderthanwar.com (the culture music website presided over by Goldblade singer, TV talking head, Blackpool FC über-fan and soon-to-be Hot Press scribe John Robb); www.facebook.com/pages/Saif-al-Islam-al-Gaddafi/10917256698 (there are less people following him every day); and www.thehuntforgollum.com (as recommended by HP’s resident Lord Of The Rings obsessive Ed Power).
