Hey there, my little labradoodles - check our shit out: we're in the Notes section of the Boston Phoenix this week. See, that's the thing about our shit. It just don't stank.
Speaking of stank, I hope everyone within the sound of my internet-amplified voice has had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch R. Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet" video by now. I know I'm a little late on getting to this subject matter, but I finally had the chance to catch the VH1 version. Oh. My. Jebus. It might be the greatest piece of televised comedy since that Rosie O'Donnell retarded movie.
If you haven't caught it, "Trapped in the Closet" is R. Kelly's "urban opera," in which Kelly talk-sings his way through these insipid, ridiculous "plot twists" while he and a group of actors "dramatize" the action. The best part is - it's clear that Kelly is taking the whole thing very seriously. He's a singer and now an actor and this... well, this is his masterpiece. It's so hilarious that you almost can't laugh because you're in shock at how hilarious it all is.
As a special bonus on the VH1 version, there are interviews with the opera players in character. It makes no sense whatsoever. Top notch. Please do me a personal favor and watch it the next time it's on. I promise you - you won't be sorry.
Speaking of favors, don't forget to bring by a toy for a fucking tot to karaoke at the Courtside tonight. Feeling good about yourself for helping the little bastards, you'll then come see Scamper at Brandeis tomorrow night. After that, your duties are fulfilled and you are dismissed. For now.

>>Songs from the band’s debut album, Leave Your Glasses On (Punctus Versus), have been optioned for MTV’s "My Super Sweet 16."
What's this?
Yeah, they optioned our record - doesn't mean they're going to use it or anything.
Still - I'll be watching those spoiled little c-words with a little more attention next season.
we actually had a whole discussion about "trapped in the closet" in my speech class today. then i came on here to read this.
did you happen to see jimmy kimmel live when he and sarah silverman made their own version called "the pizza" or something like that? it was really really funny. almost as funny as the actual r. kelly one.
