Well hello there! It seems like Slappy’s CHUNES of DA WEEK has had a bit of a promotion. Slotting in beside WT’s sexy bedroom techniques and Boner’s 420weedarama column, this is your weekly insight of what new CHUNES are arriving on the airways. Like always, this article is 110% INTERACTIVE!!! (That means if it falls behind 10%, its still 100% INTERACTIVE)
YOU, yes you, the people of No Pants Provided get to choose which video is the best out of the new CHUNES. The artist that wins gets sent a gold pair of pants to put on their trophy wall. Now who wouldn’t want that? Well enough of the introduction lets get the CHUNES playing.
Track One Lupe Fiasco – Superstar
Originally championed by Lucas WAY BACK WHEN, Mr Fiasco has been a constant reference on the NPP boards (Usually by Osiris voicing concern on how anything is ran) Now he’s back with his second album, his first track is Superstar.
Track Two: The Feeling – I thought it was over.
The middle classes favourite bummers, it’s the Feeling with a new disco-ey track. Their previous album was full of whiney tracks but this time they try and fool us with a bit of beats to disguise the whines, I thought it was over, I’m in love he cries (maybe about Cheekbone idontknow?)
Track Three: Adele – Chasing Pavements
WOT, U CANT CHASE PAVEMENTS DEY R ON DA GROUND. I don’t know about you, but last time I tried to roll about on a pavement, I almost got taken to a police cell L Adele is a new artist on the scene that Radio 1 want you TO LOVE, so we already know Hole is a fan. In the video, Adele just stand there after a car crash, FAT LOT OF GOOD THAT IS LOVE.
So a new year, a new promotion and with that comes three new videos. Which one of these CHUNES is your favourite? Please don’t feel if you’re not a GB&NI playah, that your opinion doesn’t count and you cant contribute. I’d love to hear what the Hockeyrama’s the Vern’s or the Juices World’s of the boards think of the CHUNES on offer here.
I'm voting for Lupe, the first big CHUNE of 2008
Are you on drugs?
Not yet tonight!
Mr Hole, what do you think of the above CHUNES?
I've not listened to them but can only assume they are shite.
Lupe's is pretty sweet, but I haven't heard the other two and don't plan to tonight.
I've heard that last song before actually. Didn't like it. Don't like the feeling, and the first one is black.
Thats all I ask.
Are the Feeling trying to be the thinking man's Scissor Sister's or something?
Winner has to be track 3, she's got a decent voice on her and it's a good enough song.
Actually, I heard The Feeling song on Radio 1 and Radio 2 and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Lupe's the only one that doesn't totally suck.
I would like to introduce Lupe to Snoop. We could ride in a coupe and go shoot some hoops.
YOU, yes you, the people of No Pants Provided get to choose which video is the best out of the new CHUNES....
"So you, yes YOU, the people of [Insert Website Here]..."
"Welcome to [Name of new main page feature]
This is place where you people ge to [do] [something], isn't that NEAT?
I know its done in jest, however this shit has been going on without change for like EVERY new feature for fucking YEARS.
Even though its ironic use of such language, to me as a reader, it just comes off as abrasive. Like if this was spoken by someone in person, I might just spit on them involuntarily.
Good observation.
Finally listened, I like the Feeling track best.
Saw them live last year andf they were great

good for you
Thank you
THAT WAS DRUNKNESS last night.
Anyway, the whole article idea is based on a famous TV program feature over here. The ideas not new, I've been doing it on and off for the past 3 months on IL and here.
Mallard doesn't care! HE'S TEH OLD SKOOL!!!
And writes articles for fun, naturally.
It was on Live and Kicking.
Coronation Street.
ooh that reminds me
EVERY ERA, it was towards the end.
WE DON'T DO DUVETS.
DEREK DUVET
Still the whole TV host writing style is just overdone and grating. I stopped reading all the 411 and shoot off sites because that gimmick just so irritating to read.
I dunno, if you do want to do some sort of TV Show host gimmick, maybe switch it up a little. Maybe do different characters as the host, with pictures... or switch up the format to make it different every week.
The Ironic TV Host style just seems lazy to me.
Well, at least you're being constructive with your criticism.
I vote for Lupe Fiasco.
I have heard them all over the past week on the radio and I like them all. Heard Adele's speaking voice and it's crazy-mad. Nothing like her singing voice. One is quite awesome and the other is a stupid Cockney tart.
Anyway, I vote for Lupe, too.
That 2nd one is awful.
That's nice to know. I enjoyed it.
It was my favourite. We'd have benders tunes of the week from down under if he wasnt so lazy
All are shite.
I'll get your tunes, I don't know if it will be a success or a KoC though, it wasn't a particularly popular thread.
If people dont like the content that goes on the main page, then it is up to them to write better.
I would appreciate your CHUNES bender, especially if it means you give us a view of the Australian Music scene (I hear Imbruglias releasing a new album woop)
