Radiohead, Houston 3/3/12 - I was There, and it was Awesome

For some good porn, check out PanHype's post... click the pic.

Yorke

Thom Yorke sat down at the electric piano his crew had wheeled onto the stage for him and began playing… something, and he kind of let his hands brood over the keys for a few seconds. I knew what was coming but I didn’t really know. Eventually the familiar progression from Kid A’s “Everything in its Place” filled Toyota Center, backed by energetic electronic drums. I think I actually started dancing at that point, and I never dance.

This song, which came after the first encore, near the end of the show, was a sort of microcosm of the show as a whole, where Radiohead infused a great deal more verve into songs that have a more soothing, mellow feel when consumed in CD form.

As a person who has never seen Yorke and company live, or even watched very many youtube clips, for that matter, the power of Saturday’s performance was not something I was ready for.

The show was chiefly a showcase for Radiohead’s more recent material, with little more than cursory attention paid to the “classics.” No “Creep,” no “High and Dry,” to be found. They did find time to give the Houston crowd an awesome rendition of “There There” and ended the show with “Paranoid Android,” but the meat of the set was dedicated to In Rainbows and The King of Limbs. There are many great bands who would piss off the crowd if they tried to do a live show without majoring on their old faves, but Radiohead’s ability to carry a show on relatively new material is a testament to the band’s unrelenting passion for their craft and their ability to stay ahead of the game for two decades.

A list of the highlights of the show would be dominated by songs from Limbs, the short, laidback project from last year that hardly anyone would describe as their masterpiece. The show was a chance to listen to this album for the first time, as Radiohead reinvigorated tracks that I thought were meant to help you chill. “Bloom,” the first song of the night was nearly unrecognizable, and “Good Morning Mr. Magpie,” equipped with a heavier bass line, gave the crowd a new appreciation for the album. “Separator” was also enlivened yet still maintained the hypnotic quality that made it one of my instant favorites, and “Give Up the Ghost” brought chills to every spine in the room. When I downloaded The King of Limbs, I couldn’t imagine that these almost lethargic songs could translate to a live setting, much less an arena atmosphere, but I was very, very wrong. I’m praying for some sort of King of Limbs concert album in the future (and no, the Basement performances give you no indication of how good it was).

The other aspect of the show, and Radiohead in general, is the fusion of electronic music and rock. Songs like “Lotus Flower” (Thom plays some mean maracas) and “The Gloaming”gave the crowd a taste of this part of the Radiohead menu, and showed that this is a band that can rock even without the traditioinal rock tools. All Radiohead needs is Yorke’s voice and someone turning nobs on some electronic device, and art is created.

The stage design was elaborate but not overproduced, with several monitors giving the focus to certain people, moving to different areas of the stage as the night went on. It served as the perfect backdrop.

As the band played “These are My Twisted Words,” I remember thinking that there is something almost otherworldly about Radiohead, like they are visiting us, bringing us a taste of what it’s like to live on another level of existence.

Salena Marie (and some bonus SSBBWage)

Salena

In the last week or so, a cute little curvy model has taken our niche of the porn world by storm (sorry, I'm too hungover to come up with a better phrase than that tired cliche... please forgive me). With two hardcore shoots on XLgirls and Plumperpass' "First Time Fatties" respectively in the last 6 days, Salena Marie clearly isn't fucking around. Well, she is fucking around from a literal standpoint, but you know what I mean. In any event, the fucking around has been recorded for all of us deviants, and it is beautiful to watch.

The pics are actually links in disguise. Click 'em...



With this pic, it's fun to click right on the pink part...


Our SSBBW love for this month comes from Brie and Valerie. It's a fun little clip that some will find more amusing than sexy, and it kind of illustrates some of my own personal issues with the really big girls in this biz. I'm more into fat women being sexy than fat women being fat, if that makes any sense.


It's basically two large woman sitting around saying "look how fat we are!" Not my fave, but I think both of these ladies are gorgeous, and I would've killed to be the meat on the sandwich.


Enjoy it, won't you?

Later, kids...

Alex Chance: An Adorable Young Lady with a "Problem Area"


Alex

When I surfed over to Plumperpass this morning (Good Morning, by the way), and saw adorable sexpot Alex Chance doing her hardcore thing again, I was reminded of an encounter I had with a beautiful black woman a while back.

This lady was, by anyone's standards, skinny and shapely, and she looked great in her tight jeans and button down blouse. But when the blouse came off, I got a pudgy little surprise: a cute tummy. She seemed a little self-conscious about it, but I had lots of fun with her extra curves.

Alex is one of those women who is more curvy than she may appear, and many women with her physique see that middle area as a "problem." To the lover of curves, this is not only not a problem, it can be a source of lots of enjoyment, and Plumperpass, who, in listening to their fans, has been stepping up their belly-play game as of late, does a great job of portraying the fun of being with a skinny girl with a little extra in this latest update.


I don't know Alex, but she may or may not see her delightful tummy as a "problem area." She may love it, or she may be working tirelessly at the gym this very moment, going that extra fake mile on the treadmill, or doing those ten extra crunches, trying to get rid of it.


That tummy, though it isn't the most beautiful thing about her (I would hold that that distinction would go to her adorable face or those fantastic breasts), but it may be her most marketable asset in her porn career, making her one of the more versatile performers. The tummy is the only reason anyone would consider her for a BBW site like Plumperpass. Slap a corset on her and she would outshine any chick on Bang Bros. or Brazzers.


Alex also has a great smile and a sexy voice (you can tell, I kinda like this girl), so I hope she sticks around for a while. We have a few more pics, but join Plumperpass today (right now, even) to see it all.









Later, kids...

Adele! (other stuff too)

Adele

Saw a great little spot about Grammy winning singer, and goddess, Adele in the Houston Chronicle, and I thought I'd share it with you lovely people. Among Joy Sewing's top reasons why Adele's style resonates with so many women: Body Confidence. LOVE that!

There's also a great video clip of the singer talking about her body image.

Congrats to this amazingly talented woman. We wish her continued success. And special thanks to the Shop Girl.

Other stuff...

Sandra (imagine one million exclamation points here)

Also, this may be our only post for February, so we'll give a nod to Black history...



Mz. Booty is black, and her butt is... historic...


... so it's fitting that we acknowledge her. Plus she's a Texas girl.

Did I ever tell you about the time she and I fucked? I won't go into that. Might get in trouble. Let's keep it between us, yes? (I'm just jiving... had to see if you fuckers were still paying attention ;) )

Later kids...

(SS)BBW Fascination



We've decided to dedicate one post a month to the beauty of the BBWs of the larger variety or "SSBBWs." I'm not crazy about the labels we bestow opon these ladies (don't even get me started), and I am not exactly sure about the weight demarcation line (it's not polite to mention a ladies weight anyway), but SSBBWs are the bigger girls; girls bigger than your typical BBW. They can be amazingly sexy in my humble opinion, and though I have limited hands-on experience with them, they can also be amazingly fun to fuck.

And fun to watch fuck as well...



We have an example of what is unfortunately a rarity in the world of porn: the hardcore SSBBW clip. To my dismay, most larger ladies prefer not to fuck on film. Most SSBBW sites are dedicated to modeling and feeding. I appreciate all forms of zaftig erotica, but I love to see a big women simply be sexy and get a good shagging, and the following clip offers just that.

Hope you enjoy.




I have no idea who she is... I was hoping you could tell me.

Of course, SSBBW love will be a constant presence here, but look for us to make a show of it once a month.

Later, kids.

BBWF's Championship Game pick, and a Fierce new Tumblr...


Geaux Tigers! (The ass is nice, but don't fail to give her props for taking the pic herself. You go girl)

Don't let the fact that I'm blogging about this confuse you. Like most people in this country, I barely give a shit about tonight's National Championship game (An ironic name for a game that only two regions of the country actually care about, no?). College football at the highest level has absolutely no idea how to organize post-season play, but LSU-Bama part deux should still be a compelling tilt. I admit it, I'll be watching.

I live on the gulf coast, and I have family and friends with Tiger ties (Ms. Chuck is a Louisiana girl), hence my pick: LSU 20, Bama 13. I also happen to think that the Bayou Bengals will field the better team tonight, and though I am a knowledgeable college football fan with credible reasons for my predictions, I will refer you to a true expert, Yahoo Sports' Pat Forde. He's picking LSU as well. See?

Zen

There is another blogger who doesn't know the meaning of the word appropriate. Funny, I thought I was the only one. Zen Fierce is a stunning BBW with a cute, quirky look that I think many of you will appreciate... and yeah, I realize that many of you will do your appreciating with your cock in your hand. I am cool with this.

Zen hasn't been on Tumblr very long, but I encourage all of you who tumbl to get to following her forthwith.

Below are some lovely images from the blog:








Enjoy the game, folks. Well, there will probably a lot of better shit you could be doing, so I won't sweat it if you sit this one out.

Later.

Movie Review: Shame (there's porn too)


The most revealing sequence in Steve McQueen’s painful yet masterful Shame is when Brandon (Michael Fassbender) takes a coworker out to a nice restaurant for a date. In this incredibly awkward encounter, Brandon discloses his disdain for marriage (he makes some very strong points, incidently) and firmly establishes himself as a weirdo who can’t quite communicate well with the other humans. He’s not completely unlovable, but his deep personal issues make it difficult to truly connect with people. He manages to get a second “date,” but it goes downhill quickly, and we get to see how severe Brandon’s intimacy issues really are.

Brandon is a sex addict, and McQueen’s triumph in this film is showing this condition to the audience in a way that effectively conveys both its ugliness and its heartache. This addiction can be just as debilitating as alcoholism and drug abuse in the way it compels its victims, but its stigma causes the average person to not even recognize it as a problem. Shame presents this issue in a surprisingly balanced way in that it shows the addict attempting to live normally, and it gives insight into the ultimate cause for his current struggles.

The film opens with (I say this so that you will be prepared) full frontal Fassbender. You see a completely naked Brandon walking around his apartment with his member flopping around in all its art house movie glory. If you’re in the theater with the right groups of people, you won’t hear any giggles or gasps, however. This is graphic, but it is far from gratuitous. Brandon’s cock is what the movie is about. This film is also about revealing a complete individual in all of his complexities, and the opening scenes set the stage for some of the other tough moments to come. In the first 15-20 minutes of the film, you will get a clear picture of the protagonist’s compulsion.

Brandon’s world is changed when his troubled younger sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan) comes to live with him. He finds himself forced to confront not only the shame associated with his addiction, but the troubled past that he and his sister evidently share. One of the more interesting aspects of this film is Brandon and Sissy’s strange relationship. It also may be a flaw in many people’s minds that this relationship did not play a more prominent role. I would be one of those people, as I think that this complicated relationship would have made for a fuller storyline and that it would have given Mulligan, who is outstanding in the film, more of a vehicle for her skills.





McQueen’s choice was to make the Fassbender’s character the focus of the film, and the actor does an amazing job of capturing the pain of sexual addiction. Even when Brandon isn’t speaking, his facial expressions speak volumes. I’m not qualified to make this assessment, but I believe Fassbender has given us one of the best acting performances of the year, and has possibly garnered his first Oscar nod. I hope the NC-17 rating does not hinder this.

Aside from Fassbender’s otherwordly performance is the way sex is depicted in the film. When I heard that this was a movie about sexual addiction and that it had the aforementioned rating, I thought it could turn into another oversexed indie movie (and a must see for a perv like me), but McQueen, Fassbender, and company manage to depict sex in a way that isn’t sexy at all, and it is a major win for this movie. There is a sequence where Brandon has sex with himself, and at least three others in one night, culminating in a threesome that would be the fantasy of most men, and it is possibly the most horrifying few minutes of any movie you’ll see this year. Sex by compulsion, sex as a sedative or an escape, can be painful, and Shame’s sex scenes convey this pain in a way that makes it anything but jerk off material. The anguish on Fassbender’s face as he’s banging one of the ladies in this threesome from behind, desperately attempting to stake his demon through the heart with every stroke, is something you will not soon forget.

I also loved this movie because I can truly identify with the main character. Obviously, a guy who runs a porn blog may have some semblance of a sex addiction. I don’t consider myself an addict (that’s what they all say, right?), and I definitely don’t have the deep-seated issues of Fassbender’s character, but sex, and the preoccupation with sex, is a big aspect of my life. Maybe I am an addict, but I am certainly much more functional than Brandon.

Another great aspect of the movie—and I haven’t seen this on every review and website—is that Carey Mulligan goes full frontal as well, and it is worth the price of admission. Carey is a breathtaking woman with or without her clothing, and I was pleasantly surprised that she has a little meat on the bone. Now I want to see her fuck. Shit… I’m starting to perv out here, so I better post some porn.

Anyway… see this movie. It’s entertaining, troubling, and thought-provoking. I’d love to hear what you might have thought of it as well.

Here's the porn I promised. Bettie Pumpkin doing some creative face sitting. Beautiful stuff...

It's Christmas time, so we also have a few shots from the adorable Beccabae, from her BigCuties site. Enjoy...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all. BBWF still loves you, and I promise more posts in the coming year...

Be blessed, kids...
