Kitty Wigs
|This is just what everyone has been missing in their lives: wigs for their Kitty Cats. I immediately ran down my list of friends who have cats, creating a scenario that involved my lady friends inviting me over for afternoon tea while Kasha, the master cat, Kiki, the chic Siamese wonder, Honey, the little darling, and, of course, Sugar, who really couldn’t be bothered with anything, were in attendance. As we sip our Darjeeling and enjoy cream filled canapes, the kitties peruse the grounds with their wigs attached as if it were just another afternoon for sipping tea. Its so Marie Antoinette circa 2009. Right before I tip my judgment hat, I can’t help but smile and think we need a little more playfulness in our lives and this really has no reason to be denied. It’s too funny.

FINALLY, someone understands me! It’s been a week of weird press for Kitty Wigs, but you really nailed it on the head with “Marie Antoinette circa 2009″. I love it! Thanks!

Breakbeat duo, Evil Nine’s new album, They Live!, is one of the standout releases of the year. They Live! is powerful second album after 2005′s, You Can Be Special Too, its gruesome lyrics paying homage to all those misunderstood zombies out there. The duo — Automatom and Pardytron — compiled a Secret Playlist for us, writing about their eight favourite songs right now. Their first selection? Why, Toto’s Africa, of course [listen below]: ‘The epitome of smooth music, words can’t express how much this song rules! When the synths come in and the drums echo in the night, I’[m immediately transported back to my youth. Some people might say this is a guilty pleasure, but I don’t feel no guilt. I just stick it on and bask in their mellow might’. Read the rest of the Evil Nine Secret Playlist.
