Preston Marries Chantelle!!!!!!!!!!!

Chantelle and Preston
You may recall that at the start of this year we closely followed (i.e., religiously watched the 24 hour live feeds) the goings-on in the UK Celebrity Big Brother house. You may also recall our fascination with the burgeoning relationship between Preston of the Ordinary Boys and fake celebrity Chantelle (now one of the most famous people in England). Today, that story line reached the ultimate fairy tale ending. According to several reports, Preston and Chantelle were wed at Dartmouth House in London's Mayfair district at 4pm. It is understood that the ceremony was attended by 45 guests, including Preston's bandmate, and that Chantelle walked down the aisle in a dress made by designer Elizabeth Emanuel, who created the wedding gown for Chantelle's idol, Princess Diana. Prior to the wedding, Chantelle said: "I want to be Mrs Preston and have that ring on my finger." As for Preston, he insists: "I could never be bored with her and that's what you look for in a wife."

Meanwhile, in the US Big Brother house, an equally exciting romance is developing between evil Dr. Will and America's sweetheart Janelle. Seriously, these two should be on the front of US magazine every week. What is wrong with this country? If you haven't been watching (poor fool), go here to catch up.

The View -- Wasted Little DJ's

They told me if I write this song for them,
That they would cut my hair for free,
But that's not me no liberties.

They're into all the coolest bands,
And knowing that they're coming to the gigs as fans,
Entitles me to some decency.

Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
They're the cleverest blondes we ken.
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
I wish everybody danced like them.

Split visions of a talkative therapy
It makes me bend away it gives me E,
Seems hard to say, its insanity.

Same record for the 16th time
Exact same set you did the last time round
Doesn't bother me we're in harmony.

Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
They're the cleverest blondes we ken.
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
I wish everybody danced like them.

No low emotions rolling tonight
Young heavy hopefuls staying the night
So stick around and wait for the day.
Craziness kills lazyness and happiness takes bad bets,
No one gives a fuck you see we're all out of our little heads.

Craziness kills lazyness and happiness
Takes bad bets no one gives a fuck
You see we're all out of our,
All out of our,
All out of our little fucking heads

Doo doo doo doo...

Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
They're the cleverest blonde weekend.
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
I wish everybody danced like them.

Can anybody dance like them
Can u tell me (Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day)
Does anybody dance like them
Can u tell me (Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day)
Does anybody dance like them
Can u tell me
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day

Pop Songs Of The Summer, Part II

Very few bands in history have released a couple of great singles and a classic debut album, only to follow that up a mere few months later with a song that is even better than anything they have released before. The Stone Roses did it with Fool's Gold, and The Libertines did it with Don't look Back into the Sun, and now the Arctic Monkeys have done it with their incredible new single, Leave Before the Lights Come On. Unfortunately, it appears there is not yet a video of this song to post, but if you have not heard it, proceed immediately to the incomparable Untouched By Work Or Duty. UPDATE: Domino just posted the video here.

In the meantime, check out videos for three more phenomenal new releases currently in heavy rotation at Casa Hugo. I personally guarantee that at least one of these videos will make you very happy. Make sure to watch them all repeatedly for maximum effect.
