Portland beatmakers Starfucker recently went through a re-branding, even accepting submissions for new name ideas. All of this because the word 'fuck' and the suffix '-fucker' was too risque for....um, for them? Hmmm. Let's see. Condo Fucks, Fuck Buttons, Fucked Up, The Fucking Ocean, Holy Fuck, That Fucking Tank, and a ton of other bands - more successful bands than Starpussy - seem to be dealing with your favorite noun/verb/adjective without a problem. Seriously, when Jon Stewart from the Daily Show can say 'fuck' but some little kids with a drum machine feel dirty about it?
Really. How are we expected to believe that you have fucked a star - let alone many stars - when you can't even say the word? Le Ladies were interested. We want to fuck stars. Pop stars, rock stars, starfish, shooting stars, all of 'em. But maybe we will start with Javelin (pictured above), the fun loving Brooklyn beat collective. We imagine that the battle between Starfucker (or whatever) and Javelin would go down like this - with Javelin being Clive Owen and Starfucker being Jude Law:
So the moral of the story is, check out Javelin's 'No Mas' release. Fuckers.
regardless of anything else, starfuckers debut album was flawless, best electropop in years
