Created in a software company in Tokyo, he was supposed to serve as a generic face for software interfaces, a simple non-offensive design but something happened - a group of rogue Designers discovered him and gave him a name, his name is TEEDO.

Teedo’s blurbs:

Before August 13 2006, I was an Icon! Yes! I was trapped in a world of Software. You may have seen me on a Pocket PC, Smartphone, Palm or maybe a chat room; this was my prison, this was my living hell. But then I was freed, giving a real identity and removed from the confinements of digital software. Now I have been unleashed into the world, a place where none of my peers have ventured before a place where I plan to reek havoc and destruction. The corporations that created me now fear me, fear what I might do, fear what I already know. My name is Teedo, I am not an icon.

With dreams of being hit up on walls of every major city on the planet, in the form of street Art, my boy Teedo is well on his way and remember, he’s not an ICON.

I remember the first time I saw Jon Brion perform at Largo (a small club in L.A.), the room was packed with music aficionados all waiting patiently for the virtuoso. I was on my second gin and tonic when out of the corner of my eye he appeared. He walked up to the stage with a what seemed to be a glass of beer (black & tan) in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other — oh, this is going to be good.

Jon Brion’s blurbs:

Music producer/composer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist… it’s safe to say that Jon Brion excels at whichever musical hat he choses to wear. Remarkably self-taught in music, Jon has collaborated with and/or produced albums for Elliott Smith, Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainwright, David Byrne, the Eels, Sean Lennon.

In addition to producing, Jon has scored several films, including Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I Heart Huckabees. Brion frequently works with director Paul Thomas Anderson, with whom he has a preferential working relationship. In addition to scoring almost all of his films, Brion contributed music to Boogie Nights and had a cameo in the film as a moustachioed guitar player.

He sat down at the piano and with a quick wave to the crowd, it was on. He proceeded to mesmerize the audience not only with his performance but his amazing musicianship; he played every instrument on stage (guitar, bass, drums, piano, whatever) by himself, no backup band, no nothing, just him; using a live looping technique, he first recorded the bass, drums and keyboard tracks and then sang and played guitar live over them — it was “ah” inspiring…two hours and maybe 20 songs later it was all over and I had just seen the best show of my life.

Watching last week’s “Project Runway” finale, I thought for sure that they were going to rob Jeffery Sebelia from showing at Olympus Fashion Week, all because of some hubbub another contestant started, but justice was served and not only did Jeffery Sebelia show at Olympus but he won the 3rd season of Bravo’s runaway hit show.

Jeffery’s blurbs:

fashion fag daddy da baby boy tattoo taurus freak free
friend disco rock punk raggae hippy scum homeless dirty
nasty huge acid shrooms dope sugar clean arrogant dead

Jeffery deserved to win, not only for his in-your face “I’m a f***king rockstar, so you should be a f***ing rockstar” line he presented but for the way he carried himself throughout the entire seasson; yeah he pissed people off and yeah, he told certain contestants what he thought of them, but that’s Punk-Rock Karma in a nut-shell: be true to yourself, fight for what you believe in and in the end, it’ll pay off.

Mari Musicaux isn’t just your average concert hall prodigy — no, she’s much more then that. With a passion for industrial and electro music and her punk rock looks that kill, you would never think she’s a classically trained pianist but once you hear her performance of Mozart Piano Sonata streaming from your Myspace music player, you know you’re listening to something special.

Mari’s blurbs:

I am in my final year at The Purcell School (for young musicians), where I receive professional music education, in performance. Currently I study 4 levels and hope to continue studying academic music and sequence music after school.

Look up the definition of eclectic in the dictionary and you just might find a picture of Mari Musicaux.

Back in 2004, Jay Maynard, aka, “The Tron Guy” became an overnight celebrity when he made a guest appearance on the late-night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” created and hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.

TTG’s blurbs:

I’m really busy at the moment setting up my new server, and of course, making all my “celebrity” appearances, so I apologize if the site is a little scruffy at the moment. I just wanted to get it set up quickly so that I could start making as many online myspace friends as possible.

When he’s not busy setting up Linux servers or programming IBM mainframes, you can find Jay “The Tron Guy” Maynard working on his new Myspace page, parlaying on his 15 minutes of fame and making new friends — what’s next, some guy dressed up as an Elvis Stormtrooper?

ROLLING STONE’S 20th ANNUAL HOT ISSUE just proclaimed Vietnamese American model and aspiring Hip-Hop artist, Tila Tequila as the Most Popular Girl on Myspace.

Tila’s blurbs:

Tila Tequila has done it all on her own, and definitely on her own terms. She’s an internationally known star who has built her network of fans literally, one friend at a time. What’s more, she has the email addresses of all of her friends, who wouldn’t want that sort of access to their fans and crew?

The self-described “American Hellcat,” Tila’s internet shenanigans have also earned her the title “The Baddest Bitch on the Block,” at least according to her Myspace page and with over 1,428,055 Myspace friends and her hit song “F*** Ya Man,” I believe her — booyah.

Looks like the critics are divided on Sophia Coppola’s new movie, “Marie Antoinette”. Some early reviews are calling the movie’s loosely adherence to the facts nothing more then a mish-mash of pop confetti, while others are calling it’s offbeat style, costumes and production design opulent and beautiful.

MA the movie’s blurbs:

From the imagination of Oscar winning writer/director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation) comes a vibrant retelling of the classic story of Marie Antoinette, the naive Austrian princess, who is thrown into the scandal-ridden world of the French aristocracy when she is betrothed to King Louis XVI. While still a teenager, Marie Antoinette conquers her fears and becomes France’s iconic queen.

Regardless of what the critics say, I’m sure it will be an art house fav… besides, the soundtrack alone is worth the 10 bucks to go see it — Viva La Pop!

Rotten Tomatoes reviews

Dear Beyonce,

I am writing you this letter to thank you — thank you for declaring to the world back in 2003 that you were “tired of being SEXY“.

You see Beyonce, if it wasn’t for your declaration, the world may have never been exposed to the raw-disco-powerpop-rock goliath that is “Cansei de Ser Sexy” (Portuguese for: I’m tired of being sexy), better know as CSS: the indie rock, synthpop band from Brazil.

CSS’s blurbs:

Taking the fact of not knowing how to play their instruments as a challenge for creativity, the group started to risk small shows in the night clubs that feed Sao Paulo underground.

I’d like to end by saying; CSS’s Cansei de Ser Sexy, or “Tired of Being Sexy,” is their debut for Sub Pop, you should run out to your local record store and get you some.

Best wishes,

Mochipopstar

You have an amazing ass!

Unlike the hundreds of plush dolls you’d find on ETSY, Cosmy From Stars is not your typical fabricated piece of felt, no my friends, this little guy comes from a far, far away place.

Cosmy’s blurbs:

It was a clear summer night when Cosmy’s starship landed on Earth. He came a long way from the stars, searching for other planets and life forms, cruising through solar systems.

I’m not at all sure why, but I suddenly have an irresistible urge to go punch my Ugly Doll “Jiro” in the stomach — you know it!

I will be featuring MIRA the brillant designer and mastermind behind COSMY in the next few weeks so stay tuned - mochipopstar!
