    10 Orgasmic Vocal Performances

    • Posted on Feb 8th 2010 6:00PM by Spinner Staff
    • Comments (0)

    "Rock 'n' roll don't come from your brain," James Franco's character says in an episode of 'Freaks and Geeks.' "It comes from your crotch." For more than 40 years, singers have gone to great lengths to tap into the erotic experience, going as far as simulating orgasms on record -- sometimes eerily accurately. Valentine's Day is overrun by chocolate boxes and cheesy cards, yes, but it also holds the prospect of getting some -- so to help that along we've rounded up our favorite vocal renditions of the "Big O."

    'Jungle Fever,' The Chakachas (1972)
    Vocally, 'Jungle Fever' consists only of moans, sexy Spanish utterances and orgasms -- and really, really convincing ones at that. In fact, if this Belgian-spawned Latin jam doesn't get you in the mood, we're not sure what will. This Top 10 US hit is like a sonic '70s porno, and it's no surprise that director Paul Thomas Anderson used it to great effect in his adult-film-crew-as-family opus 'Boogie Nights.'

    'Date With the Night,' Yeah Yeah Yeahs (2003)
    Before she graced fashion mag covers and composed music for a kids' movie (albeit one by her venerable, creative-as-hell ex-boyfriend Spike Jonze), Karen O seemed like a damaged NYC sex kitten, the kind of girl who could drink you under the table and out-wild anybody onstage or off. Here her moan morphs into a scream as she sings, "I'll set you/I'll set it off, off, off, ah-ahhhhhhh!"

    'Je t'aime ... moi non plus,' Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg (1969)
    You needn't know a word of French to understand this duet, sung (or, rather, whispered seductively) by real-life couple Birkin and Gainsbourg. Birkin's controversial climaxing at the end of the song sparked several countries to ban this worldwide hit; even the Pope made a public stink about it. In the US, that didn't prevent it from peaking on the Billboard singles chart at, appropriately, the No. 69 position.

    Noel Gallagher to Read Victim Statement at Oasis Assault Trial in Toronto

    • Posted on Feb 8th 2010 4:30PM by Drew Berner
    • Comments (0)
    Noel Gallagher, OasisNoel Gallagher plans to be in a Toronto court room when the man who assaulted the guitarist-singer during an Oasis headlining performance at Virgin Festival is sentenced.

    Gallagher has requested to give a victim impact statement in person when Daniel Sullivan, who pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm back in November of 2008, is sentenced.

    Sullivan's lawyer, John Collins, argued against allowing Gallagher to speak in from of the court, stating, "Mr. Sullivan has had this unfortunate matter hanging like an albatross around his neck for a year and a half," and that Gallagher should not be allowed to "control the proceedings."

    Sullivan was supposed to receive his sentence last week, but the judge in the case granted Gallagher's request and adjourned the court to arrange a date for him to appear.

    Count Five: Murder by Death's Adam Turla's Five Camping Essentials

    • Posted on Feb 8th 2010 4:00PM by Dan Reilly
    • Comments (0)

    When it came time to write Murder by Death's new album, singer-guitarist Adam Turla decided to take a solo camping trip to Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains. During his two-week sojourn, he battled heavy rains, avoided bears and wrote the bulk of the gothic-western rockers' fifth record, 'Good Morning Magpie,' in the isolation of the woods. Based on his experiences, Turla shared his top five camping essentials with Spinner. If you're going into the woods alone, don't leave home without them.

    1. Fishing Line and Hook: To catch fish, you don't need a pole. You can just use a hook and a line. I did that and caught a little trout. Trout always tastes good. I also learned how to make some snares while I was out there because I'd just never done it before, but that's only if you're really trying to be Mr. Survival Guy. I wasn't out there to prove anything. I was out there to write songs.

    Michael Jackson's Doctor Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter

    • Comment (1)
    AFP/Getty ImagesDr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's personal physician, will face one count of involuntary manslaughter for his role in the singer's death. According to CNN, the complaint filed by Los Angeles County prosecutors says that Murray "did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson."

    Murray is expected to surrender this afternoon around 4:30PM ET at a courthouse near Los Angeles International Airport. He was expected to turn himself in last Friday, but Murray's lawyer and prosecutors couldn't agree on the terms of the surrender.

    Watson Twins Appreciate Jenny Lewis, Spontaneous Dance-Offs

    • Posted on Feb 8th 2010 3:00PM by Jillian Mapes
    • Comments (0)
    TThe Watson Twinsouring alongside and collaborating with acclaimed artists has been the norm for California folksters the Watson Twins in recent years. Some may even say it's the duo's claim to fame. The indie world took notice of Chandra and Leigh Watson after they sang back-up for Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis on her first solo album, 'Rabbit Fur Coat,' in 2006.

    "Our album with Jenny was kind of where it all started coming together for us," Leigh Watson tells Spinner. "It happened strangely enough just because we lived in the same neighborhood and would end up on the same bills in Silverlake sometimes when she was with Rilo Kiley and we were singing back-up in a band called Slydell. It really unfolded organically, and the next thing we knew we were playing shows and making a record with her."
