STREET BONERS and TV CARNAGE » DID YOU KNOW? PART II

1. Marvin Gaye masturbated right before recording his vocals for “What’s Going On?” as he didn’t want to be too horny and sexual.
2. Bob Dylan used to wait until he had a cold before recording his vocals.
3. Lindsay Buckingham pretended to be Stevie Nicks by “vari-speeding” his vocals up a few octaves on Fleetwood Mac’s “Big Love”. She was in rehab for cocaine addiction and couldn’t attend the session.
4. I wrote the theme song for Derrick Beckles new adult swim show. Will I get paid?
5. I have a folk rock band called Human Highway and we’re playing North America in March. The support act is a canadian band called the Magic. They have a song called “Never Lock the Door” which Gavin said is about shitting with the door open. These are the dates:

03.14 Chicago, IL: Empty Bottle

Apparently folk-rock means “pop music sung by castrati.” You should have waited until you had a cold.

STREET CARNAGE is mostly a website that features street fashion critiques called STREET BONERS and compilations of bad television called TV CARNAGE. The site also has a blog, a radio show, and regularly features video shorts made by Gavin and Derrick.

STREET CARNAGE is also a live presentation you can have in your town where Gavin shows a Street Boners "Best Of" and Derrick shows his latest TV Carnage endeavors.

STREET BONERS will eventually be compiled into a huge book which will feature hundreds of pages of Boners as well as contributions from Chloe Sevigny, Debbie Harry, Fred Armisen, Tim & Eric and many more.

Derrick makes videos for various bands as well as his own movies. His most recent project is called "Cop Movie" and is comprised of about three dozen different cop movies and he also has a workout video coming out that is made up of a million disgusting workout tapes. Gavin does freelance writing for TV, film and magazines and they both do funny acting stuff as well as other hilarious video shit we'll tell you about later. They are both dicks.
