CHRISTMAS DANCE & GOOD CAUSES

There's something quite magical and addictive about this song. First it makes you wanna throw snowballs at the Christmas tree or set your grandma on fire while she carves her memories into the crib. Yet soon it soaks in and induces some sort of musicogenic epilepsy. If you follow through with it, you soon find yourself dancing in a tight circle with imaginary friends. It looks a bit like you're strangling a baby goose while holding an emotional speech in front of your deceased anchestors. Although this bastard of a song really knows how to avoid any deeper meaning, it asks to be hit with a hint of interpretation. We do feel that it should be used (or misused) for a greater good. Immediately we thought about a friend of ours who fights the good fight and needs your voice. Perhaps we just discovered the jingle to her mission.

MIX TAPES FOR IDIOTS - THE SECOND

Our chief executive Tony Abstract proves once more why he is considered the master of abstract timing. We would like to thank To Rococo Rot, Natalie Merchant, Roy Orbinson, Hostage and Silbermond for their contribution to this fantastic mix tape.

FUN CLUB LOGO - VOTE OR DIE

A while ago we introduced our "creative tool" Peter Rings to you, in case you don't remember, that's him. He is quite a hotshot in the field of modeling, which is to say an expert in the three-dimensional world, however, he took on the quest of designing a two-dimensional 1,2,3 Fun Club logo. Here are some of his suggestions, please help us choose. You can either leave a comment beneath or send us your absentee ballot via email.

Vive La Christian Dance Force

Fun Club Initiative has a new subdivision: "The Christian Dance Force" based in Duisburg, Germany. In case you haven't heard of Duisburg, the city doesn't have much of a dance history, yet it is quite famous for coal mining, steelmaking and the production of tanks and other heavy weaponry in World War II. Our crusade begins, become acquainted with how we dance our way to God:

And let us prove to you that dancing can also serve an educational purpose. Here we try to persuade "the kids" not to waste their lives and virginities in "the disco". We also demonstrate that women are real snakes that (sort of) deserve it.

The Fun Club Song - Love Is Clean

In cooperation with Dr. Love our chief executive Tony Abstract wrote and recorded "The Fun Club Song" aka "Love is Clean". Enjoy.

The Year Of The Hot Pants - A Fashion Lecture By Dr. Love

Fun Club Initiative is proud to present a fashion feature by Dr. Love.

"Dear females, my name is Dr. Love, I have a PhD in love & romantic feelings with a special expertise in female love & female romantic feelings. So I mostly advise women who are a bit lost in this cruel and pointless world of love, try to reform their boy-friends for whatever matter (e.g. drinks too much, has a hygiene problem, doesn't make her feel like she's the light at the end of some slutty tunnel) or are just looking for a decent mate to copulate with. My success rate is extremely high. 

Like any good doctor in the field of love I usually say nice and decent things like: "Don't be a pussy, get the fuck over it, respect yourself, at best even love yourself, don't expect too much from some random fellow who's probably just as lost as you are and then take it from there. And yes, of course you're very good looking and hot and the boys are stupid for not letting you know more often." However, today I'm on a different mission. As professional as I might appear, I'm also a human being with hobbies and one of my hobbies is fashion, I'm in fact a born-and-bred fashion freak. Now that summer is coming up, I thought I advise you on what to wear in 2010. I might add that you first and foremost should wear what you feel comfortable in, even if it looks really retarded and/or plain boring. Then again, I don't really have to apologize for advising you to dress slutty, the backlash movement already took care of it. It doesn't matter if you want to be a housewife or a porn actress or just one big artficial boob set on sticks, as long as you add that you don't do it for the men or the money, but for your innermost being (e.g. to feel sexy JUST for yourself), it is alright and your God given right as a woman.

2010 is the year of the hot pants. Hot pants are cheap and sexy. It makes a lot of sense to wear them in summer - in winter it's too cold. Advantage: your legs will see some sun, get all brownish and suddenly all the stuff that you might not like about them (e.g. all these bruises that you never know where you got them from at the first place or this bit of cellulitis that - by the way - even I have on my ass if I don't pose for a picture) disappears. I have to admit that the miniskirt provides you with a similar feature, but it has the disavantage (particularly in spring) of basically begging this fucking cold stone you're sitting on next to Hans Mustermann (so you can lick on each others icecream) to give you a nasty cystitis that will make "the sex" (that you will still have, because you're a good girl) quite painful for a while. However, this is what I have in mind:

The following pants are also beautiful, but they are just not hot enough, you would have to cut off a bit of leg:

And just to show you that there are many options that as such allow you to make your own decision and be a real individual while looking like anyone else, I give you the gold option:

If you're about to get married, you can of course also wear hot pants. However, under no circumstances you can combine them with this top. In this case you need a tight, but high-necked white shirt and a black (bow) tie. You should also wear a different face (facial expression).

Well, most of us don't get married, so let's get back to workaday clothes. This is the direction we're heading at:

YES - I do believe that hot pants should be combined with a decent belly-crack top. Perhaps this one would suit you well?

Britney has proven a while ago that even a disgusting orange-grey hippie robe can be worn as a hot belly-crack vestment:

If you have a big heart, you can show it by wearing the following treasure:

However, it is very much important that you choose the right shoes with the hot pants belly-crack combination. All things considered there is only one choice. You definitely need a manly counterpoint. There is an old saying that I just made up and it goes like this: "If you show ass also show that you can kick some." The following model looks super-comfy and they definitely feel "hot" in summer:

Thank you kindly for taking my advise under consideration. Your friend and doctor, Dr. Love."

No One Loves Music - "Kill" The Mix Tape

Fun Club Initiative now podcasts "mix tapes for idiots" - just a few minutes of joy and fun for the poor and lonely. We don't take any responsibility for what happens after, it's a crude mix of styles that - after going through the Fun Club mixer - is barely bearable. Free you ears sisters & brothers...

12 45 84 - A Movie Review On Voice Recorder

As any good major business corporation, the 1,2,3 FUN CLUB INITIATIVE has its fingers in many pies. Thus it might not surprise you that we employ a whole bunch of cinéastes. A few days back the nerd crew approached our chief executive Tony Abstract to recommend "12 45 84" by Hadrien Touret. Instead of putting pen to paper, the lazy man mumbled a few brief comments in his voice recorder.

0.10 min
Good, nice, well-done.

0.20 min
Oh, ah, I'm not sure if I like this, it's just a lot like a "short movie".

1.30 min
Oh, no, this is really really good! Yes, me like it!

6:52 min
Still enjoying it very much. Beautiful.

9:16 min
Ah, sad, that's just a bit too much. Was it necessary...

9:40 min
Ah, no, he GOT me. That's brilliant - LOVE it. What a tricky bastard!

Conclusion
Very recommendable flick, amusing, beautiful & somewhat different.
