Lock up the women and children... hide the liquor... it's time for Whistlecore (http://www.myspace.com/whistlecore).

Now I need some new trousers.

Thank you for finally providing concrete proof for why MySpace is wrong and must be stopped.

I have yet to listen to the music, but looking at the songs I see that the internet has co-opted something wonderful for a dumb joke. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a393/llama54545/HEY1.jpg
The Ghetto Tooth Fairy? No, my friends. This is Bob The Ambassador of Joy/Mirth. He originally did his thing in affluent areas of St. Louis' Central West-End. He's a former flight attendant who was layed off after Sept. 11. The rumor is that his partner is very wealthy and so he doesn't have to work. There's nothing ghetto about him. Rumor also has it that he started lashing out at people and was run out of town, but he claims otherwise.
Here's an Atlanta account of him:

Because of your link, every dog in my neighborhood is going mad, attacking small children.

This kinda shit is only interesting if the people doing it are being sincere. I doubt that's the case here.

Actually, I live in St. Louis and saw him 3 times. Once wearing a Tutu, Once in full Bride regalia, and once in a sort of witch's outfit.
When he was in the Bride's dress I saw 3 hoss cops talking to him, but it didn't seem like he was being hassled at the time; but since I was only passing in my car I can't be sure.

I used to live in St. Louis, and saw him while I was in the West End dining at a particularly nice restaurant - there I was, eating something delicious and ridiculously overpriced, and here comes Bob, wearing white rhinestone-studded cowboy boots, a tutu, and twirling a baton. I'm lucky I didn't spew fettucini all over the table.
After dinner, however, we got the scoop, and it turns out that that's basically what he does, and that's awesome.
Bob is awesome.

Apparently there is a MySpace tour. Which is kind of weird.
Also, Whistlecore has over 500 friends. THEY AREN'T YOUR FRIENDS, MAN. THEY ARE INTERNET FRIEND WHORES.

I don't think it's the fault of the internet, but rather this LANCE fellow who made the recordings. Myspace is kind of like Internet jr, though.

At a risk of alienating my Lost Dog butt, I've got to dissent from the pack here.

In most cases, I would agree with you, with the qualifier being that then if it's stupid, then they really look like pretentious jackasses.
But I see it as a satire of a genre that desperately needs a little come-uppance right now. Maybe I'm reading too much into this and giving the kid too much credit, but I thought it was hilarious.
