Manhattan Offender

Live-blogging Oscar

7:40pm - A pot-luck for the Academy Awards?  Okay.  But, um, where are are guests?  Roro is what?  Sick?  And the others are on their way?  But I'm hungry.

7:45pm - There was just a video montage of romantic movements of nominated films in the past year.  It was okay to see with a PROSTITUTE and her trick.  It was okay to show a romantic scene with a woman and an APE.  But no romantic scene with two men.  It's going to be a long night.

8:02pm - First shot of the stage.  The font for "Oscar" looks like a soda logo.

8:04pm - Billy Crystal and Chris Rock?  George Clooney in bed with Jon Stewart?  It's gonna' be the gayest Oscars ever.

8:10pm - Charlize Theron may be the best looking woman of the night.

8:12pm - Brokeback Mountain joke count - 1 (a big one)

8:20pm - George Clooney just arrived on the stage and the music is already playing?  What is that about?

MO Music: Goldfrapp Supernature

New on Manhattan Offender, by Robert, the music correspondent!

Sofia Lamar might have declared electro over when "luxx was sold on eBay," but the heteros refused to let it go. What are they to do?  They invested all their money on expensive condos in Williamsburg. But seriously, put down the Rauhofer for a minute, take a break from the bitch tracks, and listen to Goldfrapp’s Supernature. If you’ve been shaking your ass on any decent dance floor chances are you already heard Strict Machine remixed by Victor Calderone, a blessing by the high priest of New York dance music. How can you go wrong?

Another plus: it hits stores the same day as Madonna's Sorry remixes, so you’ll be in the store anyway. (It’ll be like a gay holiday!!!)

After the jump a description of the tracks on Supernature (put down the Cheetos!) and the videos for Ooh La La and Ride a White Horse, too!
