New Europop Jamz: Günther "Ding Dong Song"

I was a great fan of the original DIY Eurotrance post. It felt like being back in either Finland or Germany, with all my awesome friends there and their non ironic love of silly as fuck techno. (I remember being driven home once across the snow, hungover as fuck, puking into my mouth, in a car full of jabbering Finns blasting that Dota Basshunter song).

Anyhow, I would like to add to that with something that I am sure will top that entire post. The tittersomely titled "Ding Dong Song":

No one would bat an eyelid to this in mainland Europe...

Oh you Euros XD. This dude is Swedish (where else), but I feel he is a worthy representative for all of Europe. I thought he was German at first, owing to the Pedophile vibe and the way the name Günther just rolls off the tongue. Most of his songs are an equal in value lolfactory, with many a Europop beats accompanied with chicks going "la-la-la-la". Menwhile, Günther humself, the man mountain, creeps around in the videos like every child's worse nightmare.

Bringing up the Krauts though, we have Möhre, introduced to me a few years back by a German girl who giggled with glee as she explained what 20 centimeters was refering to.

Note the "man-chorus" intro, a common staple of German music

Don't be fooled, the Germans easily have an arsenal of this stuff large enough to rival Sweden, I just don't know any of the names. Whenever I go over there in the clubs its just "Oh hey, it's that awesomely gay techno song! Wheres that blonde chick gone!?"

Despirately need some more quality eurotime. There is a shit ton of fun to be had in Euro clubs thanks to stuff like this, you can go all ironic style at first, but the second the first German/Finnish/Swedish/Slav whevs hottie starts grinding you, it'll all of a sudden become as serious as cancer.

Anyway, check out Günther's myspace! Theres a ton of fun info in the about section, especially when it gets to the "U.S obsession" bit. I imagine it's nothing more than some college bros going "Hey, check out this Euro-fruit dude!!", but success is success bro!

Anyhows, I'll leave you with these two bros, who do a pretty funny job of mouthing along to the song. I'll admit, doing pretty much anything with that playing would be gold nomatter what, but I still feel they did an awesome job. Bro in the blue t shirt got the face down to a T! Wonder if they're in a deathcore/2 man crunkcore group?

Is She Really Going Out With Him?

MTV has a long history of awesome dating shows, usually involving some sort of bus: Taildaters, Date My Mom, Room Raiders, and of course NEXT. Continuing in that proud tradition, I present you with my new favorite television show, Is She Really Going Out With Him. The show is an adaptation of the stellar blog Hot Chicks With Douchebags, and I can't get enough of it!

--

The original MTV dating show, Next. It revolves around slightly below average 20somethings poorly delivering hackneyed jokes for the amusement of the producers.

--

I can't stop LOLing at Big Johnson-esque jokes like "I do love a man with hard wood." I should be a writer for Room Raiders!!

--

I love how the daughter is always like "Mom, whatever you do, DON'T TELL HIM such-and-such!!" then the mom spills the beans when prompted by the producers as she stiffly recites their lines. Later, she reveals it to her daughter: "Don't worry, I said you had big boobs just like you told me to!" and the daughter is like "No mom, I told you NOT to say that! OMG!"

--

Whet your appetite for ISRGOWH with this trailer

--

From fratbags to DJs to screamo fggts, the show features an allstar lineup of douchelords. No matter what, you're guaranteed to be enraged at least once!

--

This retardedly hot OTW chick watches as her douche applies guyliner. Melissa Millionaire would never put up with that BS, this little OTW hottie needs to drop that zero and get with this hero!

--

My favorite episode features a 19 year-old crabcore bag, who plays in an atrocious band called Divide The Sky who make Attack Attack seem like Mozart

As you can see, the show is an epic lolfactory, and most of the chicks are indeed as hot as they are sweet. My only question: Where is the bus??

Official site (Euros can't watch it :( )
Interview with the show's producer

What is your favorite MTV show?? Are you a hot chick who has dated a d-bag? Are you a douchelord who's dated a hot, sweet girl?? When are they bringing back NEXT?

Stereos = LFO + autotune

Winners of the "shiniest scene hair in Canada" contest

Remember that song from about 10 years ago that had a group of douchey bro-dawgs singing "I like girls who wear Abercrombie & Fitch"? I loved it, and although they were probably little more than a gleam in their pastor's eye back then, apparently the boys in Stereos did too. This pop-punk crew from Canada also have a song called "Summer Girl," which puts a scene twist on LFO's 90s classic:



Since I'm into this song, I thought I should become a fan on their Facebook page, which they linked in their YouTube info (their Brand Manager probably thought of that one). I was happy to see that they chose Facebook as their primary social media presence, because I really hate MySpace these days. MySpace is for poor people, so it makes a lot of sense for Stereos to emphasize Facebook because a lot of their fans probably can't access MySpace through the Web filters their parents installed on their MacBooks. Anyway, here's what Facebook users think Stereos sounds like:

Guess which tags I LOLed at the most

I pretty much agree on all counts; T-Pain meets Forever The Sickest Kids is about the most accurate comparison you could make. One thing is for sure, it's a good thing that they don't charge by the minute for autotune usage or these guys would owe a fortune, like someone with a leased car and a girlfriend in another city.

Photoshop a dick in his mouth plz kthx

Apparently these guys won some "Making The Band" type contest on some Canadian TV show that I've never heard of, which makes perfect sense because the band is made up of all the familiar boy band archetypes we've come to know in the post-NKOTB music landscape.

There's Pat, the dreamy singer. He freaks me out a little bit because his hair is fucking beautiful, it looks like something you'd see on the front of a Clairol box or something. I dated a hair stylist for 8 years so I know way more about hair than any straight man should, and let me tell you, there are a lot of women who would die to have such shiny, straight, dark hair. In fact, his hair looks an awful lot like my ex's and it's more than a little weird to look at. He must spend a ton of time with the flat iron every morning. His tats balance out his hair, so he's edgy but still mostly non-threatening. If you brought him over for dinner at first your mom would be freaked out, but then she would get to know him and realize he was a good guy. Odds are pretty good that he even goes to the same church as your mom when he's not on tour.

Next we have Robby, the tuff one. You can tell because he's wearing a Death Before Dishonor shirt. He is Stereos' equivalent of Donny Wahlberg: a tuff guy from the wrong wide of the tracks who secretly has a heart of gold- but he's been hurt so many times he's scared to let people in so he puts up tough shell. He "likes authentic old school punk and hardcore" and makes sure to represent by wearing things like the Misfits shirt in the top image- they were a huge influence on him as a musician, especially their older stuff like "American Psycho." If the lawyers will let him he is planning on sporting an As I Lay Dying shirt in their next video.

Miles and Daniel don't have very strong personal brands compared to the other guys, but I'm sure they have their share of fans. They appreciate it when girls tell them that they're the girls' favorite member because they don't "try too hard."

Aaron is the sensitive one, he's wearing a hat and looking at the ground because he's not comfortable with all the attention. He just wants to make music, he never wanted to be a star. Sometimes he "just wants to quit the band and play his acoustic guitar on the beach" because all the girls and media are overwhelming. Wishes he could find someone like Zooey Deschanel to do a Death Cab-inspired solo project with.

Please ask your parents' permission before accessing their MySpace. If they say no, check out Stereos on Facebook.
