I’m not gonna say much except to note that MLB is back and the Dodgers are charging their fans $300 at minimum for putting up posters of themselves on the seats.
That’s some serious bullshit but also proves the old adage that a fool and his money are soon parted. These are probably the same people that pay for porn and only fans accounts.

Today, I will again be showing you Tik Tok girls that have something in common, but I won’t tell you what it is. It’s another hidden theme and we’ll see if anyone can guess it.
Without further ado, here are this week’s dirty dirty Tik Tok girls. Enjoy:

And now, the next episode of our new feature!
As I mentioned before, I’ve decided that I must take up the mantle that tWBS ran with and help to make this world a better place. I will do this in the one way he couldn’t: By introducing you to good music!
My aim each week will be to showcase a tune or band from the 80s (the best decade EVAR!) that not many people know about or have heard of. In this way, hopefully these artists will find new audiences and the old audiences can reminisce about what they were doing in the 80s.
This week, I bring to you what is in essence Part 3 of a two-part series. In the first part, I discussed Adam and the Ants while in Part 2 I discussed Adam Ant’s solo career after the Ants went away. As I discussed in Part 1, the first version of the Ants was taken in 1980 by producer Malcom McLaren to back 13-year old Annabella Lwin to create Bow Wow Wow.
That’s the band we’re looking at today.
There are a lot of interesting things to note about this band. For example, did you know that, when the band first formed and right after Annabella was recruited to be the lead singer, there was another person signed to be a second lead singer and that person’s name was George Alan O’Dowd?
He didn’t last long because he left pretty quickly to create his own band. You might have heard of it: Culture Club.
The first song that Bow Wow Wow released was “c30 c60 c90 go”, which was notable for two things: 1) It was the first ever cassette single (released on cassette instead of vinyl) and 2) The lyrics were promoting taping songs off the radio onto cassette and this pissed off their record label, EMI.
Their first EP was “Your Cassette Pet” and it featured a sexy cover of “Fools Rush In”:
and the even sexier “Sexy Eiffel Towers”:
Bow Wow Wow’s second single was a song that I personally like very much, “W.O.R.K.”:
The W.O.R.K. single, surprisingly, didn’t do that well and that, combined with the home taping kerfuffle from the first single and Bow Wow Wow’s preference for cassettes instead of vinyl, led to EMI dropping them and Bow Wow Wow signing on with RCA records.
With RCA, Bow Wow Wow released their first full-length album in 1981, entitled “See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang, Yeah. City All Over! Go Ape Crazy!“
It was controversial because of the cover:
If you don’t understand why, read the paragraphs above, consider she’s nude, and do the math. The biggest hit from that album was “Go Wild in the Country”:
In 1982, the band put out a 4 song EP titled “The Last of the Mohicans”. The biggest hit from that EP and the song that everyone knows Bow Wow Wow for is “I Want Candy”:
In 1983, Bow Wow Wow released their second full-length album title titled “When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going”. The standout track and a personal favourite is “Do You Want To Hold Me?”:
Another big hit from that album was”Aphrodisiac”:
In September of 1983, the band suddenly broke up. Annabella apparently read about it in a magazine. She would go on to record as a solo artist for a few years and achieved some success on the pop and dance charts. The rest of the band would go in different directions.
In 1997, Annabella reformed Bow Wow Wow but in 2012 the band broke up again. There is version of the band that performs to this day, but Annabella is not involved and she doesn’t want them to use the Bow Wow Wow name. She is still performing on her own, using the name “Annabella of the original Bow Wow Wow”.

That’s all for this week, folks! Be good to each other and try to stay the fuck away from stupid people. That’s not COVID-19 advice, that’s just general good sense. See you next week!
