Man oh man, the Huckapets are looking surly in their latest publicity photo. Cheer up, girls, I haven't forgotten you, I swear. Here's the latest dispatch from Huckapoo world, but first, that squatting must be really uncomfortable. Why not stand up and slip into some even more bizzaro outfits?
That's better! Whoa, hold onto those trousers, Angel! Groovy, lovin' the blown out hair. Very Brooke Shields 1984. Twiggy, would you like a sandwich? I know you have a name to live up to and everything, but didn't you learn anything from your benefit show for HEED? PJ, Snoop called, he wants his street creed back. And Joey, why are you wearing a sign that says "Dork"? Oh, wait. That's "Punk." My bad.
Thanks to Dashiell for the pic. Now click through for the latest Huckanews and an even more awesome photo.
� A sure sign that the Huckapoo has made the big time: a porn site [NSFW] is using their name in the invisible text that shady operators include to bump up their Google hits. Coincidentally, it's a site featuring CG illustrations called "Perfect Virtual Girls." As if the Huckapoodles weren't already that!
� A less sure sign: Huckapoo has an Urban Dictionary entry:
huckapoo - something to describe what my cat hacks up, also see the world's shittiest girlband.
"Dude, my cat just totally huckapoo'd all over the carpet." or "HUCKAPOO? OH MY GOD. FUCKING SPICE GIRL WANNABES"
Get with the program, Wikipedia!
� Never forget that Huckapoo were indie critics' darlings before the masses discovered them. Now another unimpeachable hipster source shows some love in this memo to Lindsay Lohanboobies: "If you're going to rediscover gravity, please do it on the Huckapoo tip, not on Britney's sloppy seconds." Fuckin' A! I have no idea what that means, but it sounds clever as all get out.
� A fan of the Alabama (?) eatery Huc-a-Poos Bites and Booze is concerned about copyright infringement. "Imagine my surprise when I discovered the worst music ever made is currently being churned out by a group of 14-year-old girls, collectively known as Huckapoo." Worst music ever made? Omigod, you mean there's another band called Huckapoo? Brian, call your lawyer, stat.
� We saw this coming months ago, didn't we Huckafans?
� Is it time to stage an intervention for Alexa and Megan? Hey, I got nothing against being obsessed with Huckapoo, but their latest projects are over the freakin' edge. First, they're hosting a lookalike contest. Which I totally want to enter.
But even crazier is the Huckapoo Idol contest (ironically hyped with the question, "Do you have talent?"), which asks, Can you sing like Huckapoo? Well, record yourself singing a Huckapoo song and email it to us at huckaharmony@yahoo.com." Um, yeah, as if it's possible to just pull 5 girls off the street manufacture a sound like that.
� Set your TiVo to 'Poo! The girls will be singin' and dancin' on the PAX TV charity telethon this Sunday, April 17. Wear some family friendly outfits, huh girls? Then catch the act live at the Stamford Center for the Arts on May 7. (Love the rousing description of the event on the SCA site.) Maybe you'll have as much fun as these girls.
� Speaking of live shows, here's a review for the ages. Hard to know which quote to use on the next ad:
"Their songs all sounded the same, and that was slightly annoying, but it was still different and at the same time not."
"Each time the dancing was different, but sort of the same."
"Even though they may not have been the best performers always, they never got upset. "
"Power to them for being able to feel comfortable to wear that stuff."
